It's not really a confidence thing. Porsche is the underdog of the 3 (least power, most weight) so coming into these comparisons they have the most to gain and the least to lose. If the 918 lost, it wouldn't hurt its reputation at all because that's what most people would expect. On Anglesey the P1 beat the 918 by over 1 second and it honestly didn't change the way I look at the 918 at all, it's still a beast.
I expected the P1 to be the fastest out of the 3 on a track, but nothing compares to the NA V12 in the LaFerrari.
