I have made this offer in the past : a nice dinner in NYC for 2 or 500$ through Paypal to the one that can achieve 7:29 on the Ring.
Conditions :
1) Must drive his personal 991.2 GT3.
2) It has to be stock,including stock tires. Aggressive alignment is OK.
3) No professional driver,meaning driving for a living.
4) Must be a Rennlist member.
5) Must show proof : telemetry plus video.
6) Must wear helmet.

DISCLAIMER : I am not responsible for the outcome of this challenge in case you crash. Drive at your own risk.
I am putting this out there for entertainment only and as a small reward in recognition of a great driver.
I also want to prove how meaningless the Ring time is in real World.

The 991.2 GTS will be faster around the ring with equal tires. 450 hp and 404 ft/lbs of torque. They should have given the 991.2 GT3 at least 354 ft/lb like the cup car.

Entertaining, but I disagree. Ring times are very relevant to real world road and track performance. Even if only an expert can extract 100% of the performance, it still demonstrates the potential performance in a meaningful way that other tests do not reflect.

Ok,but my offer is very serious. It would be my pleasure to offer a small reward to a Rennlister that could achieve it.
Even if the official 991.2 GT3 Ring time turns out to be better,I am happy if someone achieves 7:29.

I look forward to taking my GT3 on the Ring, but I'll be aiming for around 8:29 (and shorter Bridge to Gate length)

I've only been on one previous trip and this is not a place to be a hero without lots of experience there...

I agree completely...The new GTS with a manual is a mini GT2.

I understand your point, but the Ring time is important because it gives people the ability to judge a car's tracking ability. Otherwise if there were no lap times, people would be buying cars based on subjective opinions. We can't even drive most of these GT cars before they are purchased, so it is one of the ways people judge a cars performance.
