as for the other tracks, look at positions ten and eleven at laguna and you find the Nissan STR (or whatever the letters are) which is four wheel drive and certainly not in the leage of Ferraris, vipers and such. Its basically a sedan with a big motor and FWD. Audi Quattro too with a little sedan like 4.2 liter motor. Not really apples to apples is it?
the Indianpolis 500 was the perfect showcase since there were no weight limits, or such back in 67. With less power the STP car blew off all comers until it broke a minor part near the end. I am not familiar with the model designations but Lambo, Ferrari and Porsche all offer 4WD high performance variations which are great athletes....
