... do you think that horsepower is the key to be quick around the Ring?????? To have the advantage of 700hp you need serious aerodynamic aid (downforce)



Actually, yes. The Nürburgring is known for being a horsepower track. Once you know it well, there are a number of sections which can be strung together into quite long straight sections. To be quick one needs to run less downforce and allow the car to slide around more in the corners as a consequence. It isn't the comfortable way around the track but it is the quickest.
