Let me put it like this, it didn't embaressed it self.....
There wasn't many cars that could beat it that day, even the CGT had a hard time beating it, at least in the race when I got a ride in the SLR. The CGT grabbed a few car length right from the rolling start from 30 MPH. Then it was absolutely a dead race until we approached the brake point, then the SLR starts to catch up real good. And we where up and almost sniffed at the door sills on the CGT, and would have passed it if the track had been longer. But the CGT got the hands on the champagne in this race, but it was amazingly close for to such diffrent cars.

Nice. From the seat time I have had in the SLR, traction, even with the traction control on, is very hard to come by from a dead stop. It breaks loose even from rolling start.
We had a specially preprade surface which made excellent traction, even for the crazy Supra.

There was no problem with the traction at all from a rolling start, not even with the SLR. Some car managed a short "shirp" but no more.
The cause for that was that the pavement on the airfield landing track was prepared with transversal grooves some 1/4" wide and deep, that had been cut every 2" all the way down the track. This is done to get better friction in all weather conditions during hard braking when aircraft are landing.
