heh, thats a a bit of Chinese whispers Blaise. I've read it on several sites, one mentioned they did a test on the F1 track itself with a lancia delta on dirt tires and would have been on the second row.

If you watch that first vid the driver being interviewed says at the start how they were 4 seconds off the pace of the F1 cars on gravel, but he only mentions that the gravel road was the same length as the F1 track, not driving on the track itself

But i have heard it enough times to think its true
