There could be errors, although I also said on another thread I think there some background car stats which we don't get to see. Since I'm not sure how the full characteristices of a car's behaviour can be covered by only the four stats we do see. For example:

Increased downforce is very evident in the F1 cars at high speeds.

The way different cars recover from a skid, some recover quickly while others skid forever!

Acceleration above 60mph (although this could just be extrapolated from the 0-60 stat).

Understeer/oversteer tendencies.

These are a few I can think of which might be modelled in the background, at least on some simplistic level. If PR is only based on the four visible stats, but one or more hidden characteristics have been unrealisically tweaked, it could explain why a car such as the 720s performs way above its displayed PR.

Of course this is just a theory.
