Just as a matter of interest for all was what the late Mark Donohue and Penske did when they were involved in F1 racing. They took a state of the art sprint car and their F1 car to a skid pad and ran them both at their limits. Both cars were fitted with dry asphalt tires and the wings were removed from the F1 car. Result, lap times were basically identical. Put them both in their environment and the results would be drastically different. What this illustrated was the correct tires and load on them rules when it comes to cornering. The same goes for power to weight ratio.
