The reason for the Ring is durability putting the car under stress at high speeds. The Ring times somehow morphed into a criteria for "best sport car perf." primarily by our Europeans friends. Don't buy into it.



You may have a point here indeed - for those not using a sportscar for what it's made for (read: cruising on the Highway @ 55 mph) NBR times are completely meaningless indeed, but HHR times even more so (we have a saying for that in German: Perlen vor die Säue werfen)
But I understood from some of your previous posts that you think sportscars are becoming pointless anyway in the near future - in such a scenario you might be right
