Was this at all tracks?

I know that if you compare 2002 Bathurst 24hrs Nations Cup Porsche GT3 times and the best Carrera Cup times from the support race for the Bathurst 1000 V8 race, the Carerra Cup cars are quite a bit quicker... but there were a number of factors - the Carerra Cup cars were setup for a sprint race, not 24hrs and the rubber build up of the track from the V8's would have helped with grip levels.... so are the times fair to compare?
