Hard time finding anything for that - don't think the official GT4 series ever went to Portimao, but Portuguese GT (RIP) did and there was an Aston GT4 running in 2013. Now we don't know how close to full GT4 spec that one was (it ran in a class with a Porsche 997 Cup and a Ferrari 430), but that did a 1.58 in qualifying. So slightly slower than the hypercars.
Edit: With TCR slightly faster than GT4, that one should be right in the mix. Would be a hoot if one of the three Grand Tour hosts showed up with a Seat Leon TCR to one of those supercar comparos.
And another note on the Grand Tour laps. They ran all cars on the same (road legal) tire, with Clarkson claiming that the McLaren could have gone a lot faster on its original tires. So it's reasonable to asume that fitting proper racing slicks probably would have closed the gap by a considerable degree as well,.
