Enjoyed that - thanks for posting....
A bit overkill on the pseudo science perhaps ? They have nice diagrams and explanation for the ratio of the sizes of the front/rear tyres when the reality was that when Walter was testing the original 997GT2 at the ring he noted that it got light on grip at the back going round v high speed bend and asked that they increased the rear tyre size from 315 to 325..... good old fashioned testing was the determinant

Actually the video is a bit of a suck up to Porsche, really.
Fastest cornering? In the world? Really?
There may be a few other cars that could stake that claim but don't tell Motortrend that.
