Comparing the times of the Beetles with the World cars gives a good indication just how quick they are. It's no wonder the rest of the GRC field have been struggling to keep up.

I don't think they are quite the same yet, but they seem to be heading in that direction. I understand that the Beetles were running with an extra 25 kilos of ballast at Silverstone (haven't seen that confirmed anywhere official yet though).
There was a similar weight penalty (30 kilos) in the World regulations a few years ago when they were trying to close all the loopholes, so the additional weight would make sense.
