Comparatively. At Mexico fastest cars run somwhere in range
1:50.50 - 1:51.00 (fixed standard AI). For comparison, at Mosport
they run around 1:21.70 - 1:22.20 range. From GPLRank:
drivers with pb below 1:50.50 at Mexico - 930,
drivers with pb below 1:21.70 at Mosport - 321.
After checking this numbers I am not sure myself that the difference
is that big as it appeared to me. My impression was based on
the fact that at Mosport I normally lap in the same range as AI
with few laps in low 1:21 and few laps with mistakes, so winning
there is quite tough, but at Mexico, I can lap in 1:48.00 - 1:49.00
range quite comfortably, so winning there is much easier (both times
in Lotus).
I'd like to see in GPLRank a feature that would show distribution
of drivers by lap times.
