That does make the testing somewhat more scientific.
Why limit comparisons of different cars just the same track?
Using the same driver for comparos, does eliminate another significant factor.
Still, it could be better.
Use multiple drivers (whom both get to drive the same car).
Test under similar road & weather conditions.
Try to have a 3rd party magazine not affliated with either manufacturer conduct the testing.
Test on different tracks with the same variables held constant.
It's hard to ensure complete objectivity, but a lot more measure could be made.
As stated in the article, the fact that the driver accomplished the same lap times could mean many things.
Could be that he's just more comfy with one car.
Could be that he's had more practice with one car.
Could be that one of the cars is more fine-tuned to a particular track.
Regardless, both automobiles are nothing short of masterpieces no question.
