Drivers
Surely the most important factor is the driver? If you remember a white van lapping faster than a BMW or Jag or whatever, its really down to the driver's skill and how well he or she knows the circuit.
I know if I tried a few quick laps, half the corners I'd be trying to catch a too quick entry and the balance I'd be going at least 10 mph too slow. Really tough to get every corner right.
I recently drove the IoM TT circuit and struggled to find sections where I'd be happy reaching 130mph.......while the very best average that speed! It made it clear that the elite are truly in a different league
