I don't understand the reluctance to talk about lap times. Laptimes at Bathurst comparing GT3 with Supercars is almost a guaranteed part of any discussion around the 12 hour each year. Why should this be any different?
Being slower or faster doesn't make for better or worse - simply cars being built to different tech rules. Any difference in lap times is of interest but it ain't anything more than that.

There is just little point , in my opinion, in comparing laptimes of different categories built to completely different rules and objectives. As you say laptimes bear no relation to a better or worse race
It just leads to a ****fight, as you note with the 12hr each year
Comparing the laptimes between Will Brown's Hyundai and Whincup's Commodore is a much different conversation than a speed comparison at the AGP featuring an old F1 two-seater, a V8 ride car and whatever production car the organisers have found a manufacturer to supply
