To be fair to Subaru (as much as it pains me to say so) they are around the same speed as the BMWs in a straight line so the advantage they are getting is not down to them having a top speed advantage, only the Honda's seem to be worse off in straight-line speed.
Saying that however, the Subaru set fastest lap in race 2 with 66 kilos of ballast and the hard tyre, 1.2 seconds faster than the BMW and in race 3 even with full ballast it set fastest lap about a quarter of a second faster than anyone else which surely suggests that the speed is coming from how the car is handling in the corners so if anything is the Centre of gravity where the car is getting it's advantage?
