They are both run hard with the best driver under same or similar conditions. The time is the very best of probably hundreds of runs. Its about capability, tune, capability, tune, etc. To think all of that testing and tweaking is arbitrary is ridiculous at best…I can't believe I just wasted that much time of my life listening to this guy. I bet if you take those cars and run them a dozen times with different drivers on different days (temps , sunny, cloudy, etc) you will get different times. It just happens the best time from 2020 was one time and the best time from 2022 was another time. Take your pic.
Unless you are there with time tracking you would not have a perfect sense for tenths - particularly based on a video. If the 11th did not run on cups then you can take a couple more seconds off and sleep well tonight.The guy is hard to listen to but I have downloaded both videos (both 24 frames per seconds), watched side by side and frame by frame. I did find the following:
1. At the beginning, when both cars cross the checker line, the clock does start later for the 11th Gen-R by 0.167 seconds.
2. At the very end, next the last frame before the clock stoppage of the 11th Gen-R, reads 2:23.083, and the 10th Gen-R is at 2:23.310. Or a 0.227 seconds different.
3. Both clocks appear to stop at the checker line at the end.
So I'll say this. We expect new cars to be faster. I just don't get why they the clocks start at different times and why the time-gap widens as time goes on. We can each draw our own conclusion.
I have an FK8 and love it and I love how Honda is pushing the R.
