Of course not haha...
Onto the topic at hand, who's willing to step up to the plate and be the test driver and whose's got a ITR and a S2000 that is willing to let someone thrash it on Wakie... Anyone?

im willing to do the thrashing
just need a car
im a valet and i've driven both s2k and ITR on a regular basis. and for me the S2000 accelerates and corners much better than the ITR although the S2000's arse does tend to kick out if u add too much power on a tight corner whereas the ITR hugs the corner
Okay, we've got our OH Pro Driver, now all we need is two guys drunk enough to hand over the keys for the day and the let the Wakefield Battle Begin!!! (To much blood rushing through my head lol)

Hmmm... strong point, I did watch it too, magnificent but we're talking Wakefield not Nurburgring (I know its the granddaddy of all tracks...) if we want to conclude this, its with real cars and real drivers, not imaginations or hypotheticals
For for me personally, there is absolutely nothing wrong with hypothesizing using real, past data from the difference between these two cars driven by same drivers. Granted Wakefield is a different track, but for light weight vehicles and same low torque/high rpm power cars like an S2000 or DC2/5R, there wouldn't be substantial differences between all tracks. :)
The thing is - we might want to put a pro-driver sitting on an unmodded S2000 and then a unmodded DC2R and the DC5R to put around wakefield, but it doesn't sound like its going to happen any time soon :(
And if we don't discuss first what we THINK will happen using our fairly educated guesses, then what is the point of writing on this forum? haha..
Just like to add my 2c, there is a wakefield trackday coming up in mid june and i have a few mates going with the following cars:
1 x s2000 (first time at wakefield) STOCK Goodyear GSD3 F1's
1 x Dc2r (second time at wakefield, last pb 1.20-1.21ish running pod/catback/avc-r BUT brake pads very low LOL) Now with Goodyear GSD3 F1's car tuned with 112fwkw.
2 x Dc5r (second time at wakefield, both running road tyres last ps 1.20's) now 1 guy has second hand azenis(FULL STOC), other has new toyo's t1r's(catback/avc-r 108fwkw)
Interesting to see how these guys go, i'll let everyone know after the event has past.
<FYI, there is someone your average joe blow with a FULL STOCK Dc2R running consistent 1.15's and managed a high 1.14 last trackday he attended>
As for the S2k, i can't tell you BUT my guess is that my mate with the Dc2R will most likely pull quicker times then the rest as his a CRAZY ass DRIVER. hahaha

1.14s for a DC2R or DC5R is what a pro driver gets on a stock one of these :)
Thinks he's a pretty good driver!
Which TIME are you refering to the TYPE-R's?.. Well KEEP IN MIND it was THERE VERY First trackday, so you can't EXPECT too much hahaha.
As for the Dc2R running 1.20-1.21 he was running Goodyear REVSPEC not much tread left and BRAKE pads also low. we had instructor drivers that day and he took my friends car for a spin best only got down to 1.18's. (he does 1.16's with his own DC2R) and saw how poorly my friend was performing hahaha but in the end the car wasn't really ready brakepads low tyres low.
