Was it the same driver, same conditions. I assume unless a robot is driving that small amount could be explained by several factors.

Nürburgring time indeed is a strong focus with regard to the GT3.
(For the Manual option Preuniger indeed said, its not about the last second)
So this indeed is a "first worl problem", but the Nordschleife is THE referende track and I consider the release of this add a marketing desaster:
-stronger engine (+25 HP vs. .1)
-significantly better tyres
-usual upgrade for PDK and Aeros
and slower vs the .1
what are they thinking about us, the customers.
I have one to be delivered 11/2017 and I'm more than surprised ...

I posted this in another thread:
There´s something odd about this....If you remember when you open a Porsche code in the config there´s a time of 7:18 written all over the silhouette of the GT3. Maybe Porsche is playing us and the real time has been there all along? (7:18)
This might be some "clever" marketing stunt

okay its odd - i agree
here is what could have happened :-)
1. bad weather the day(s) they did the run(s)
2. it was indeed a manual, pdk time will follow
3. the ad was just poorly done - it did say something like a sunday stroll to the ring and do a 7.29 and go home and relax - so maybe it was supposed to imply a normal person going to the ring doing a good lap and then go home but it wasnt the official time - maybe they dont have an offical time yet (again for weather reasons) and marketing wanted to do the add anyways so they choose a time which is conversative and definately beatable
4. a typo :-) was supposed to be 7.19
and here you go, my top 4 reasons

Seems quite suspicious. No chance the time is slower than .1. That might look real but its either someone cat fishing or a PS.

If its real, what a slap in the face of the new car!! My new GT3 is slower than GTS!! Doesn't make sense.

Whatever time the new one set, given the same track condition, driver, etc. the previous model would be slightly slower. Is this is even an accurate time, the situation must have been a little worse.
