I don't know german so can't figure out if he was carrying a passenger, but it was definitely done on the full track, autobild never uses the short one.

was he carrying a passenger like the more recent sasha bert lap times?
i always knew of a 7.32 for the gt2 but that was on the short course. i think this time is for the short course although at one instance in the article they casually mention about "the 20,8km long rollercoaster" with no further elaboration of which configuration has been effectively used. i think this is just a typo.

I wonder why this laptime never got attention, it's like an equivalent of 7:27-7:26 on the sportauto lap and its from 2007!!
Now I wonder, if Röhrl could get this lap on an autobild test on the full track... which is only 1s slower than what Porsche claimed (driven by Röhrl)... does that mean that Porsche has been claiming full laptimes all the time?
