Another example of... just cuz someone posted a fast Nurburgring time, doesn't mean the car is really going to be as fast in the real life or on other tracks.

In Nurburgring Nordshcleife there is more room for improvement - if driver is really good and dares to go fast, you can have some sensational lap times for cars that otherwise are not considered to be absolute lap time aces.
In a shorter track like Nurb GP or Hockenheim, cars really are less limited by driver skill (and courage) and more by themselves. 0.1 second behind GT3 RS seems just about right. If that's the 991 GT3 RS.
