I thought Walter Röhrl has already managed a 7:32 min. Very impressive stuff!

With a ridiculously long track like the 'Ring, a few seconds really isn't that big of a difference... and that's without factoring in track temperatures and weather.

It seems like now more then before the GT2 is a GT3 with a GT2 engine! :) :-D

Indeed, it has to be relativized by the fact that all cars were not tested the same mday with same weather and temp. factors but it's impressive anyway !!
