Wait a second - the Nordschleife is approximately 12 miles long. The M4 GTS "kept up" with the GT3 (and surpased its 7:32 time - almost matching its other time in the mid-upper 7:20's) and was only about 8 seconds behind the GT3 RS -
AFTER 12 MILES....
So how much longer of a "race" would you need to have any appreciable difference between the two?? Just curious because the objective data is completely contrary to your claim above. Also - the weight of the M4 GTS is under 3350 lbs (without driver) - so the weight difference vs. the GT3 and GT3 RS is not as profound as you claim...
