But to compare a sportscar on a race track to an F1 car is apples and oranges, awd was also banned for it's unfair advantage but to say it's better would be to miss the point. Active suspension doesn't feel the same as a well tuned stock suspension, it behaves totally different, I am not saying it's worse or better, just different.

The issue is far beyond "the driver being less drained." The issue is about traction and handling. That's why the F1 cars with active suspension were faster. I don't see why your M3 wouldn't be faster on the track as well if it indeed had active suspension technology F1 cars had.
