Top 50 in a 1000HP car (The fastest accelerating production car, short the Rimac) on one of the fastest tracks in the world is not exactly hard. The ring is mostly a speed, accel, and nuts track. (That is, long wide-open sections, lots of slow turns then accelerate, and lots of hairy off-angles and sketchy blind turns.)

Also, the Model S may be top 50...but the 50 ahead of it is basically every supercar made in the last 20 years and all of them have less HP to go faster.

That's a bit misleading considering there are very few 4d cars on that list. 'not very hard' but ~almost no one else is doing it. For consideration; on a 7+ minute lap it's within .1s of an Enzo Ferarri.(!!!!!). That's Impressive, even if the Enzo is a few years on now.
