You probably drove the base model. The S has about 60 more horse power and hits 60 in 6.7 seconds (2 seconds faster than base). It is not about acceleration in this situation though. The Mini is good at keeping it's speed up through the corners because it handles pretty damn well. I would guess Mini has already done this test behind closed doors and/or knows what the 911 is capable of time-wise on that track. It really is a no-win situation for Porsche, but it is still good marketing on Mini's part.
