Just had a quick race on Indianapolis Road Track: Best lap in a 'R3 version', level 2-updated Huracan: 1:08,615 Compared with a 'Real Racing' time - the absolute fastest time, set in the real world by Barrichello in 2004: 1:09,454

I think what's going on here is that if they use "real" performance stats and end up matching "real-world" lap times, the game will seem too slow and boring. There is so much less sensory input your using when making your control decisions in RR3 vs when you're behind the wheel of a car on a track. There is so much less your brain has to handle, that the only way to make is interesting is to speed up the rate of this meager data stream. So be happy the cars are faster than real-world cars. If they weren't, you wouldn't like it.
