I'll use Sebring for an example.
1990 Qualifying:
GTP: 1:55.7
GTL: 2:06.4 (+10.7)
GTO: 2:10.2 (+14.5)
GTU: 2:20.1 (+24.4)
2018 Qualifying
DPi: 1:47.4
GTLM: 1:55.8 (+8.4)
GTD: 1:58.7 (+11.3)
GS: 2:11.6 (+24.2)
TCR: 2:16.4 (+29.0)
So, I know the track is a bit different but it gives you an idea of the speed differential. If GS is too slow today, then GTU was too slow in 1990. If you were standing at turn 10 in 1990, a GTO car would go past you only just over 1 second per lap faster than a GS car today. That TCR car was passing you just under 4 seconds per lap faster than a GTU car.
