This time doesn't make sense to me.
The facelift GT S did 1:33.7.
How can the prefacelift give such an amazing time?
Was this tuned or used slicks?

Perhaps it had better tires or a different driver. AB Sportscars are kind of inconsistent with their laptimes, as we can see here.
But even then, I believe the facelift wouldn't have much of an advantage. It may have more hp on paper, but it doesn't have the same suspension upgrades like the GT S.

So I heard it was done with a Mercedes Test Driver or something which is why it had such an amazing time, with the normal AB Sportcars Driver it did a 1:35.18 lol
