Interesting the car/he is shifting between 8500 and 8800 rpm.
Yes, this is a recurring trend I have noticed too. Seen in multiple vids the car shifts at 8800 rpm in auto mode !

I mean, I'm happy to see this, but I find it was funny that...

When 7:29 came out..

"Well ring times don't matter"
"It's the driving experience that counts"
"Ring times only matter to Lambo drivers"

When the 7:12... .7 (because the .7 clearly is important):

"Porsche is awesome"
"We knew it all along"
"King of the ring"
"The world is happy again"

I'm not criticizing.. because honestly I did the same thing to a small degree. I can admit it. I'm hypocritical at times

Most of us were saying the 7:29 was the manual driven time and the manual was about experience so we were ok with 7:29.

The smoking 7:12 was with the spec concerned with ring times, the PDK... and boy did it lay it down!
