Not true.

They did test (and crash) at the Nordschleife.

If it ran another lap it could've broken down and the recovery had to show up to pull that fugly lotus out of the track

I think even with the standard configuration it can go faster, Maybe around 7:20 with good McLaren driver.

It's a Horst lap though, official laps are always faster.

Looks to me like F355 won the bet. I thought it would get a 7:25.0

Surprised GT2RS sport auto time is faster....it's good though because now Mclaren has to bring out an official laptime.
