ImariThe biggest variable is the driver. You cannot directly compare an RX7 driven by me to a Celica driven by you.
The only way is to have each driver test a range of cars. You can then infer things from the ordering and spread of the times. If both of us find that the Garaiya is much faster than all the other cars, then that's strong evidence that the Garaiya is actually faster. The more people get the same evidence, the stronger the hypothesis.
Testing cars is not an exact science. It's a matter of statistical analysis. Each driver should choose a track, and test a range of cars themselves. Don't focus on testing all the cars necessarily. Test each one until you're confident you can go no faster, then move on to the next. 3 or 4 cars tested like this is more valuable than 7 cars tested haphazardly. Data from testing that is not carried out thoroughly has no value.
I can't disagree with you.
