The GTD apparently makes more downforce than the ZR1 so it should be MORE capable on smaller/technical tracks. The impressive thing to me was how the GTD managed to have a higher average speed with so much less power and much more weight.
You do realize the ZR1 already beat the GTD time *without* a professional driver, right? Adding a pro driver would chop another 5-10 seconds off that time, turning the ZR1 vs the GTD into a bloodbath… at nearly half the cost. I like the GTD and appreciate Ford throwing big money at race car development, but let’s be realistic.
