Track time factors for modern cars compared to an analog car on a technical tight turn race track:
PDK = 2 seconds per lap
ABS = 1 more
PASM = 2 more

Its amazing to watch PASM in action though on a modern car.
I've noticed that when a Cayman is powering around a high speed sweeper, you can actually see the inside rear corner of the car get lower to the track.

I affectionately call this the "Cayman squat"
When you see the Cayman driver in the paddock, it is then appropriate to squat briefly in deference to what you saw on the track.

Really makes you tired by the end of the day, this is not a problem @ vintage events.
