@FastestLaps I think it's worth adding the time was done in damp conditions and probably could break the 7 minute barrier on a perfect day

Almost as fast as an zr1 with only 585 hp congrats
Zr1 was on cold tires tough

The GTR Pro was on a damp track. Experts think It would be a 6:50 to 6:52 car on a normal day. What makes you think the zr1 was on cold tires?

"experts think it could be a 6:50..." LOL
your expert thinks this 1650kg with barely any aero, and 585hp is nearly as fast as the 700hp 1500kg GT2RS.
Firstly, most of that track was just the glare from the low camera angle. Look at the 6:30 AMG One lap, now that was damp in several sections where the car really had to slow right down, and yet even after going again in perfect conditions, the car only went 6s faster.
Yet you're saying this can go 12-14s faster?

6:50 is crazy and not really possible for this car. i think there is definitely a bit of time left on the table tho, its only 2 seconds faster then the sport auto lap. it should be able to just break the 7 minute barrier IMO
