Extract from PH. I must get hold of a copy.
I was skimming through the special issue with the celebration of the 200th Super Test on the plane home from Germany yesterday and though my language skills are probably at the slightly rusty GCSE level I could understand enough to see that the influence of Cup style tyres on lap times was much discussed in their retrospective. Indeed, they kept coming back to the CSL as the kind of line in the sand for that. That 7:50 time is pretty impressive now but in the context of a road car 11 years ago is astonishing - the headline in the BMW section of the Super Test round up is pretty clear even if you're not fluent in German: "Der M3 CSL mit 360ps ist fur viele der beste BMW aller zeiten."
