    haha cool. So the P1 is defintely the fastest as the track was improving during the day. If it was my money I'd be going for the 918 And how lucky is that guy to own all three!

    Well 2 and a half. He stacked the 918 in Malta last week

    Saying though colder and damp air works better in a forced induction car - so that may have given the P1 and advantage

    I wouldnt care if the Ferrari one did 20mph it would still be the one id go with.

    the 918 and the mclaren seem to be getting quite a bit of bad press on a couple of high end forums.

    I dislike paul bailey too he crashs everything.

    918 beat the P1 at La guna seca though.

    P1 for me all day long. Looks sublime from every angle.

    The 918 is just too bland for me.

    The Ferrari is gopping from every angle that includes the front but i really like the rear.

    I haven't watched the video yet but the rear lights on the P1 just do it for me.

    I wonder if the results would have been different if they had used the Full Grand Prix circuit at Silverstone.

    I think they are all much the same. Depending on circuit and driver will dictate who wins but all be within .5 of a second of each other.

    Who cares which is fastest. P1 is just sex. The other two lack the sane appeal

    I don't blame the chap tbh. It was another typically shitly protected spectator complex. Plastic barriers not filled with water or sand and a metal guarg rail. All about 15 feet back from a line where cars were going flat out. Organisers need to be under the hammer for it.

    Funny thing is the car is worth so much they'll probably repair that.

    Going back to the original post, I don't think 6 laps in each is enough for a proper comparison, it looked like he was only going about 80% too.

    He stuck one back wheel on the grass while the other was on concrete while absolutely on the beans. Car whipped round like no one's business, there was nothing I think anyone could have done.

    What's the other example Chris?

    Your right though PI no safety there measures there really. The spactators have made a cousious decision to go that close. A distaster no doubt but easily avoidable.
