Is it because it's winter that it's about two seconds later than 992s?

Could be many factors. Maybe the race track hasn't been used for a while, which would mean less grippy tire remains on the track and more dust/dirt. As said before, most cars underdelivered. The Ferrari F8 Tributo was slower than its predecessor 488 GTB.

See? All the cars underperformed in this test, corvette c8, f8, Turbo S, Evo ... It was probably a bad day. The only one that didn't disappoint me is the 718 gt4

Hate to say it because I don't like SUVs, but the Cayenne Coupé Turbo also didn't underperform, it has even beaten the Urus. The Shelby GT500 also wasn't bad in my opinion. Would be interesting if really all laps were done on the same day, otherwise this might be a possible explanation.

Yeah the Cayenne really surprised me! I really didn't expect it to be faster than the Urus
