Default True Ring time for the 918

Does anyone know of someone doing a updated 918 Ring time with a professional driver, but this time on modern rubber and on contemporary state of the track?

I would expect it to comfortably beat the current Porsche production car top Ring lap record of 6:43 from the 991 GT2RS MR

Some years ago, I think I was told 6:46 but that was with the then current Cup 2, not the latest Cup2R

Maybe about the same as GT2 RS MR on equivalent tires.
The 918 doesn’t have the big wing and downforce of the MR, but has a ton of power and corner exit acceleration is unreal. 944lbtft of torque!
