Without a doubt- I don't know exactly what the comparitive laptimes would be, but the F3000 would be in a different league
Thinking about it, and I'd have to dig out the race programme, or issue of Autosport in which it was told to be sure of this, but I have a suspicion the gist of the original story wasn't that the RS500 passed Moreno on the straight, but that Moreno came up
behind the Cossie after exiting Chapel only to find he didn't have enough straight-line speed to pass it flat-out on Hangar straight, and so had to wait until it braked for Stowe....
