Once again the Ring lap times you are mentioning are on a much shorter course than we Race on which is the entire road course plus the GP track.
No, they're not. The RTG times are a measure used to calculate a time from the ridge (R) where the car rejoins the Nordschleife to the gantry (G) just before it exits and rejoins the GP circuit. It is, therefore, very directly comparable to the typical Sport Auto 'full' Nordschleife lap. Your car was recording 7:23 for that measure which is a good time for a road car.As you and others have mentioned there are some caveats such as air restriction and the fact that that was the first lap on a practice, so it'll doubtless get quicker. What tyres are you using there?
Ah. Just came across a bit of video when morbidly looking for nurburgring crashes.
