Default 7:29 unofficial WR ring time for GT2

Someone on Rennteam talked to WR and got the gossip
Someone who joined an event with WR this week said that WR claimed an "unofficial" laptime of 7:29 I'm sure soon someone will be able to put his hands on the product info booklet for the GT2 - the WR NoS-laptimes are usually mentioned in this booklet. Normally the gap between the unofficial WR-laptimes and HvS times is 7-10 sec

Did you ever see any WR laptimes on the 997TT?

7:54 Sport Auto June 2007

although there's a time of 7:40 also listed for a 997TT on MPSC's...sounds somewhat ambitious.

The 7:40 is a WR time quoted by MT. I have recently aligned my car after lowering it (997TT) and given the huge range in specs for the TT, I think it explains some of the discrenpancies we see in handling:

Front
camber -0.4 to -0.9
caster 7.4 to 8.4
toe 0.00 to 0.08

Rear
camber -1.4 to -1.9
toe 0.08 to 0.25

The ranges are huge, and a car with only -0.4 neg camber in front is going to push forever until you lose patience and jab the throttle. That would explain some of the frustrations our of esteemed C&D journalists. I bet the car WR took around the ring in 7:40 was dialed in more aggressively

That would be NUTS, 996 GT2 did it in 7:42 which is still absolutely amazing!
