Just as a point of comparissan, the last major series to use the International layout to my knowledge is the FIA GT Championship, in 2005 the pole was a 1:15.792. Now given that the cars performance has undoubtedly improved since 2005 you could expect that pole to be around a 1:13 or perhaps a 1:12. Now comparing that to the 1:10's of the A1 GP cars I would say that the A1 GP cars have a remarkably good turn of speed, around the same sort of pace as a good LMP2 car but not as fast as a LMP1.
