That's because the car was not making as much power at the end of the track as it did at the start of the track, which is due to the relative altitude... The air was at 982, temperature 37 degrees, humidity was high. On a freezing cold night at 10.00pm at Calder maybe the situation would be vastly different.
The interesting thing to note here was that the GT was quicker to half track on some runs than both the stock and modified F6, but with lower mph.
