Goran,

Interesting list. Did they ever test an Ariel Atom? It's about the only streetable (marginally) car I can think of that might be able to beat the Radical on a course like that, other than maybe a really hot Lotus 7 clone. No question, if you don't have something like a Mulsane straight to deal with, small and light frequently beats big and heavy. Collin Chapman proved that enough times.

It would be very interesting to test a GT40 for rake effects. Does anyone happen to have a car with suspension height sensors fitted? If so, a couple of runs, one flat and one with 1" of rake would be very interesting. If it comes close to Goran’s Pantera, it would certainly be an easy improvement to implement.
