When watching a side by side video of Lowndes' Commodore vs Gilmour's Dallara, they are fairly even on the run into Hell, the Commodore gains going up the Mountain (5L V8 vs 2L 4) and actually gets to Griffins Bend marginally ahead, however the F3 pulls roughly 3 seconds from coming out of the Cutting down to Forrest's Elbow, the Commodore obviously has a highly terminal velocity down Conrod, but the F3's late braking and corner speed means by the time they cross the line, Lowndes only pegged back a second or so down Conrod. A lot of the time in the F3 is across the top, and also carrying speed into the Chase (roughly 70m mark for braking).
