The fact that the 2 are so close on N'Ring leads me to believe that tires are a big part of the difference, because the M3 had upgraded rubber for its 8:05 run. Not taking anything away from the R8, but part of the reason it has the upper hand on all the tracks footie posted has to be rubber. The Hockenheim short track would be a case where it was still appreciably faster than the M3 on the cup tires.
