Isnt the question more around sector times than top speed? The video of Mr Gilmour's lap had him on the limited for a fair while in different places, with different gearing the top speed may have changed, but so would the speed the car had to get to that top speed...

A V8 Supercar can apparently hit 294km/h down Conrod, but it too can sit on the limiter a'while down the chute. A question would be ois how a 50km/h disparity in top speed translates into an almost identical laptime..
