It's actually based on FM's simulations of the fastest cars. The 2018 simulates as faster than the 2019, which is why the 2018 is to the right of the 2019.

The simulation doesn't always reflect what a human player can do with the car on any given track, but based on the simulations, the 2018 should have a better lap time than all the other RSRs in the game. Go check Porsche in the manufacturers list, like you want to purchase a car. 22nd on that list is the 919 Hybrid (2014), followed by:
 * 911 RSR (2013)
 * 911 RSR (2014)
 * 911 RSR (2015)
 * 911 RSR (2018)
 * 911 RSR (2016)
 * 911 RSR (2017)
 * 911 RSR (2019)
 * 917K

So here the 2019 is faster than 2018. Even 2016 and 2017 are faster. And all of them are faster than the 919 2014, eh? Matt shared the list of the rank of the fastest cars based on their simulations. 2018 is just ahead of 2019.

I don't know why the manufacturers screen is the way it is or if there is any reasoning behind it, but the order of this WTTT is based on that speed simulation.
