Now obviously these DTM cars were specially prepared endurance cars.
At Spa GT1 pole was 2.14, DTM fastest lap 2.13.
It would be interesting to see how quick a GT1 car, designed specically for sprint racing, would be.

That's true, but I really think a GT/Sportscar series ought to be quicker than an (albeit, extremely impressive) tin-top series. The 917s used to be on (or faster than) F1 pace, not worrying about the pace of saloons!
Of course, I know that the rules are somewhat different these days...
Anyway, I'll take my nostalgia glasses off now!
