The DW had 350 HP.

The P2's had 450 HP. The DW did 3:42.612. It had four P2's behind it. The DW got its driver around the track faster than those four P2 drivers, and did it with 78% of the peak HP. With your chart, you can say "IF the P2's weighed what the DW did, they would be faster." Great!

How are you going to get all that weight out of them? Without using unobtainium? The DW did it by not building 1/4 of the car.
