To me, level 6.3 in the Light-Rider special event shows that PR is meaningless. We're asked to race the Type 125 against the 2015 LMP1 cars. The max PR on the LMP1's are 96.4 and the recommeded PR for the 125 is 113.6 (I ran at 112.0 and I am sure some others ran with less). Basically the 125 gets run off the track by a car with a PR that is at least 17 points lower. So I ran some test runs on Silverstone:

Lotus Type 125: PR 112.0, lap time 1:31.149

Ferrari 488 GTE: PR 86.2 (18 of 30), lap time 1:38.284

McLaren P1 GTR: PR 91.9 (22 or 30), lap time 1:29.452

Audi R18 (2015): PR 96.2 (-1 engine), lap time 1:24.162

Koenigsegg Agera: PR 81.1 (max R$), lap time 1:37.100

So the Audi is 7 seconds a lap faster than the 125 (which also tells me that I am running far from ideal laps with the Audi because I suspect the ones in the 6.3 race must have been 15+ seconds faster). Also, the P1 GTR is faster by 2 seconds. I also feel like I ran laps much closer to ideal with the Type 125 than I did the others because I had to run the 6.4 race 8 or 10 times before I won where I just ran enough laps with the others to get something close to "clean." So, is PR not equal across the various cars, is it entirely worthless, or something else?
