Nurburgring Time?
Nurburgring time:
Has any credible source published ring times for the new GT3?
I was just googling around and not finding anything recent or actual.

It seems to me sportauto had some question marks about the test car and they should redo both the ring and hock with "race circuit" alignment and be sure they're giving the car a fair shake.

IIRC, one of the magazine Ring tests had a problem with a car that went into limp mode and had to be returned to the factory for evaluation. I thought it was Sportauto....

It seems to me that if a car is within 2 seconds (!) of the RS 4.0 on a 7:30-ish lap, you go check the tire pressures, maybe take out 5 gallons of gas, maybe drop one hole on the rear sway or ask for the alignment to be adjusted according to tire temps and call it fair to take another lap or three till you get a better number. Just going to a little more negative camber, within what "race circuit" spec Porsche advises, or whatever was allowed for the 4.0, and see what comes.
