surprised to see the GT40 in the line-up, I assume its because it handles like a dog on this track...

No, it's cause it never gets used so this is it's opportunity. The other cars are there for the aliens if they want to battle with the humans, they can take a "slower" car.

Rats, does that mean that if I take the TVR ('cause I loves it ) I'll be left for dead by everyone?

GT40 is not easy to drive. You have to get the setup right and work out how to drive the cars well.
