1:29.088 - 1:29.073 = 0.015. At an average speed of 184.4 km/h = 51.222 m/s that gap means 0.7683 m.

The track is good fun in this car and I was really struck with the braking. In Super GT we don’t use carbon brakes so it was impressive to feel the difference. Compared to Super GT, the TS030 HYBRID is about four seconds quicker over one lap but in Super GT we have softer tyres; on race pace the difference will be around six seconds I think. The time is mainly made up from the braking and the boost out of the corner; it’s all cornering speed.
