The car is probably in slightly better condition than when it won the BTCC... around 320bhp is about right... and the enduro tyres are probably not so far away from what they were running back then, but I'd imagine the WTCC boys are on something a bit more advanced and softer given they're only up for a 20min fight each time...
Having not taken it somewhere that they ran in the same configuration I'd not know how we compare, but I'd have thought given the Dutch excitement about the time we set (2m33.6) that we're pretty dang close to the best pace that Supertourers have been doing at any point on that Spa configuration.
Would certainly be a bit unhappy if we were more than a second or so back!
Hope a few of you caught the coverage, we got a fair go of the TV... particularly nice onboard sequence of a V8 star Passat and all you can see in his mirrors is the Nissan harrying him!
