600hp is faster than 500hp down multiple straights, shocker! Straight after straight.

I do think TGT should re time times set by 'The American'... times are not comparable...
When I'am looking at the clip, there were a bunch of nasty slow turns and difficult mass transfers. The M5 weights a zilliion tons, so not a given that 600hp is faster than the light weight and nimble GT 3RS. Of course, still bizar that the M5 can beat an GT3 RS which is a mighty track machine.

Last summer, I pushed the M5 around Munich and I was really flabbergasted the way it gripped in tight corners. I could floor it in 2nd gear with 3/4th steering lock even before apex and somehow the drive line seemed to get all the power down time and time again without any understeer. For me, with this AWD, the M5 entered another dimension.
