To clarify, it's 6:55.34 for the AMS lap that is used for most references (for example, the 7:27.88 of the F82GTS is the AMS lap).

I really applaud Porsche for their openness and early communication whether it’s a 4700 lbs 7 series competitor or a 3200 lbs track car. It pleases the fans and signals that they are a performance brand for performance minded customers. BMW has some shame to carry in this aspect.
I fully agree.
