The straight line sprint tests are done with driver and passenger. The lap tests are usually done with driver only. That was the case for the timed laps in this article, except that they also developed their "fun factor" ratings with driver and passenger on the track. You might think this would disadvantage the lighter cars, but they still rated the Elise as being more fun on the track than the 911! Also, the photographs are often produced separately to the performance tests, with the drivers deliberately hamming it up with oversteer.
