GT3 cup hard to drive ?

[stentech]

It is my understanding that a factory prepared race car would be easy to drive quickly. after all it is the design objective of the car.  I have a hard time believing that Porsche engineers would spend their R&D $ to make a race car hard to drive.(with the exception of the Carrera GT) I would agree that it may not be as forgiving as a street car but driving fast cars fast is always a more of a skill intensive process then driving slow cars fast as they allow. I would say that most of our more experienced drivers with good car control skills would be able to very easily adapt to a cup car and go more quickly in one than their street car that is may be perceived to be easier to drive. My point is this. A cup car and it's impressive capabilities would allow a good driver to attain quicker times than their street cars and have an easier time doing it. Less weight, good grip and more power = faster laps with less drama. If a driver is constantly using psm to cover up errors this may not be the case, but the cup cars are very good in crashes as well. Now a car that may be difficult to drive would be a 1200hp 1500lb race car with big turbos and alot of lag like some of the old Porsche race cars. I dont know what they are 962? 917? R2d2s?, but those racers had brass balls.
