That was 30 years ago. It's not relevant to Bristol's survival today. Besides, if Bristol was confident of their product they should have arranged other, more meaningful tests with other contemporary cars at the time.
If the test was done today with equivalent current model cars, the outcome may be far worse for Bristol.
What would today's comparative cars be from Mercedes, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin and Porsche? (in the same price range as the current Blenheim), .... although why the 603 was compared with a Porsche 911 and a V8 Aston is a mystery.
