I watched the episode this morning, I guess before they took it down. The GS450h took them both from off the line and after either 4 or 5 laps it held its lead to win the race. The GS430 was in second place until it took a wide turn second or third lap where the M45 passed it. Though the GS450h won by a nice margin, the M45 had the best lap time, besting the 450h by one second.
Another cool race was with the 997S4, EVO, STI, NSX-R, and Gallardo. The EVO and STI were leading the pack until the NSX-R hit the straight and passed both. The STI I think had engine problems and dropped after the second lap. NSX kept a huge lead. EVO stayed in second place. The Gallardo started in last place and was stuck behind the much slower 997. Hit the straights and basically blasted by ALL of the cars. Only car that seemed to hang with it during the turns was the NSX-R, but even then it seemed like it was slowly pulling away from it. Lead for the last 2 laps to win.
Not even funny how the Gallardo manhandled those cars. Unfair advantage.
