How much quicker than a V8 car was it?
I have to admit, I'm relatively ignorant when it comes to Bathurst. I remember playing with some early Gran Turismo version back in the days, thinking the RX-7 Bathurst was just a weird name a special edition. I mean it is a special edition, I just thought it was a random name and not a celebration of a track.

IIRC track record for the V8 Supercars is around 2:05? I don't really remember (Might be off by a large way)

But the F1 was 18 seconds faster than the record if I recall correctly.

Not just the track, but three consecutive years of winning the Bathurst 12 hour race they had a tradition of then using the name Bathurst on the ultra lightweight specisls they'd release in Japan.

Like the Astra Nuburgring .... oh wait ...... no, NOTHING like the Astra - that's just marketing BS/hype
