I love how much effort you put into this!
I just drive.
But that is of course because it is so difficult to get consistent laps on Nordschleife.
I'll try to get some more info from Michael, MR are often very secretive.

At the Ring, I would also just drive 
No point in setting up the car for 10/10thwhen I can only drive 9/10th LOL.
I figure if I can set the car up with mostly OEM parts and tires to the best it can be at Sebring, its pretty much good everywhere. Like the Ring.
A couple of more weekends at Sebring and I hope to go north for the summer; Barber Road ATL, Roebling VIR.. Soon it will be too hot here.

Understood but my post stands. I don't buy the time gains based on the modifications noted and time comps are irrelevant unless done under same conditions.

I'm curious if they removed the mesh on the front fender and why not the entire grill. With the steep rear wing you'd think they need all the extra down force they can get at the front. Per the SportAuto article they just lowered the front by 15mm for HH.

I'll ask about the grill and the rake of the car compared to their Nürburgring setup.

I am running stiff sway bars to keep them from cording on day 1 or 2.
Now with new DSC box I think the bars can be middle (only 3 holes front and rear on 991RS).
But because the shocks dynamically stiffen the car leans less and so I hope to still get 4 days out of them. The first test day looked very promising.
Back to Sebring on Saturday for more testing.

I look forward to Road Atlanta in May / June.
Personal best years ago was 1.34 on 997RS and 1.37 in 964RSA. we will see what the 991RS does :-)
A little more testing at Sebring first or I would already have contacted a local shop to park the truck and trailer for the summer..
Post it up. Seth, you too.

^^ Nice to see a very fast driver that isn't jerking the wheel around all the time.
Looks like a pretty relaxed lap with some room to go faster, so a pretty realistic lap that can be duplicated by those who know the Ring by heart!
What's the full lap for an RS 7:28? What's the BTG deduction, id say about 25 seconds?
