The Hampster did a comparison between a RRS supercharged and a Mini Cooper S (works from memory) a few years ago on Top Gear and the RRS was similar in lap times.
I've driven Wakefield a bit in the past and enjoy the track, It's pretty safe, although I have seen a HSV hit a wall in the wet.
The highlights were trips as a passenger in a 993 911RS, Ferrari Testarossa, Ferrari 355 and a Mustang GT350 (Fastback) and being a smidge faster than my mate when we were sharing my BMW 330CI.
I've got a set of 255 Pirellis that are on the 20" rims that I wanted to wear out and I aint the Stig... The excel in the footage is one of my mate's sons and by the end of the day I was getting very close to him, that was my first track day, I started at 1.32 or something so I'm pretty happy with where I got to. On a quick run I was topping 170 on the main straight and I reckon that with a bit more practice I could probably knock another couple of seconds off. Its a tight track to put a big vehicle around, although very safe with big runoffs everywhere. I think that you could beat the mini if you had the right track. At one stage I was in front of the excel and although he was getting close to me at the start of the main straight I had a couple of hundred meters on him by the time I was at the top of the straight.
I wanted to be a bit gentle on the car as well, after all its not a track toy.
