WiiU is more powerful than X360 and PS3 but less powerful than X1 and PS4. Switch is more powerful than X360 and PS3 but less powerful than X1 and PS4. How much room do you think is in that gap?

A couple hundred MFLOPS. Not much, but it's there. IIRC, Switch was 1.1 TFLOPS, XB1is 1.3 TFLOPS (XB1X: 6TFLOPS) and PS4 is 1.84 TFLOPS (Pro: 4.2 TFLOPS). For last gen, Wii U was 0.352 360 was 0.240 TFLOPS, and PS3 was 0.192 TFLOPS or so.

Sadly, the numbers for the Switch are neither correct nor comparable right now.
1. Those ~ 1,1 tFlops are based on the FP16 mode. The PS4's or XB1's are in 32FP mode. That pretty much means,
the Switch has only 512gFlops in FP32 mode.
2. Nintendo underclocked the X1 even in docked mode. Instead of the normal ~1GHz it runs at 768GHz putting
the Switch slightly below 400 gFlops
In terms of raw performance, the Swich's power is at around 22% of the base PS4 specs in docked mode.
Even with the more modern architecture and more efficient Nvidia components the Switch shouldn't be able to
deliver more than 30% of what the base PS4 is capable.
The Switch may be a powerful handheld, but as a home console it's even a step back compeared to the WiiU.
Nintendo would have been better off promoting it as a handheld you can play with on your TV
than a home console you can take with you on the go.

BTT:
While I really wished for a good racing simulation on the Switch, I highly doubt this would even be possible.
Project Cars 2 is a CPU heavy game due to all of the physics it has to calculate. The Switch's CPU woudn't be able to handle them,
especially not in portable And remember guys... in a game like this, downgrading it means removing gameplay itself.
Well... and there's the other point that "Slightly mad" is just a ...
