Difference factor 82.2%

Same spec 1987 VL Commodore qual Bathurst 2m23.6sec (dry)
2005 DTM MB (Commodore x 0.822) Bathrust 1m58sec (thereabout)

Assumptions: 1987 WTC Qual at Spa was dry.

This is not scientific, merely a reference point.
WTCC cars lap within a second or two of Super Tourers, maybe a little more at the longer Spa circuit, so use that as a bench mark.

WTCC cars are 20 seconds a lap slower than DTM cars at Spa.
