Here is the TH leaderboard with all the lap times (from this video).

I still think if they did more than one lap, in non-hot weather, the car would be faster on Cup2s. There are some tests on youtube between Cup2s and Cup2Rs. In sub-optimal conditions, Cup2s will be faster and especially if you are doing more than 1 lap (Cup2Rs are like 1-2 lap tires then start to degrade).

Yeah they did 3 laps and took the best time.

Where in the video are they saying the PSC2R is slower than the PSC2 ?

If it's for the records board (which this was), there are 5 laps total. One warmup, three hot laps, one cooldown. The best of the three hot laps goes on the board.

This lineups with my personal experiences in motorcycle racing where in some instances I'll choose Michelin GPs over the Cup 2 tires. It is my preference for longer races to go with GPs because the Cup 2s can fall off rather suddenly. My pace is always faster in the early laps* with Cup tires but I'll have a more consistent pace with the objectively slower tire. By lap 6-7 I can be faster on the "slower" tires because they hold up longer. For context, I can get 9-11 laps at pace in a twenty minute practice session (with traffic). The same follows to an even more extreme level when comparing the Cup 2 to the Performance Cup tires. I can match early lap pace by lap 4-5 then maintain the pace the whole time. I'm sure you can appreciate - even if you're not a rider - that dependable tires over time is even more important for motorcycles due to the inherent dangers associated with the sport. *with the use of tire warmers beforehand

I think things are less binary that what most folks depict here. A tire doesn't perform at its max and then becomes all of a sudden completely shot. The way a tire performs within a given session and throughout its life varies in many degrees. A tire's performance within a given session (within a given heat cycle) will vary, there's a warm up period where the grip progressively increases, a peak performance window and then a progressive degradation as the tire becomes greasier to the point of eventually overheating with a significant falloff in performance. The length of each period is different depending on tire design, driving style and conditions. Continuing to run a tire during a session while it has become overheated will have the tread wear down extremely fast (can even lead to chunking off of the tread). The PSC2R is a tire that warms up quickly and has a relatively short peak operating window. It's that relatively short optimal operating window that has earned it the reputation as the one lap wonder tire. However, even when past it's peak operating window, it still offers superior performance over a standard PSC2. The PSC2, requires longer to get up to temp, offers a longer peak operating window, but also falls off quite significantly once it has too much heat into it. Then how a tire's performance evolves over its life (over multiple heat cycles) also depends on its design and how it was driven. Tires lose performance through wear in two ways: through heat cycling (the rubber in the tread changes properties) or by wearing down the tread thickness (no more tread rubber left). A more aggressively driven tire will wear in both ways faster than a more sedately driven one. Similarly to other soft compound tires, the PSC2R will heat cycle out faster than a PSC2 for example. But the PSC2 is also a tire that heat cycles out rather fast. I lose significant performance after 20~25 heat cycles with the PSC2. It still has enough rubber left for many more fun sessions on track, but you won't break any lap records. As Rob correctly states in the video, softer high performance compounds such as the PSC2R, are much more difficult to manage as a driver. Balancing performance and life with those type of tires is a tricky balancing act. While a completely heat-cycled out PSC2R may very well be slower than a fresh PSC2, but given two sets of relatively fresh tires, the PSC2R will practically alway be faster than a PSC2. Note: I have not personally used the PSC2R on my car, but I have driven a GT2RS with them and collected info based on various articles I read and feedback from track buddies that have used them.

Moreover, a rider's body is effectively a part of the chassis so the psychological aspect of keeping a fast pace as he feels the tire cycling impacts how any compound is used; which is why confidence in the slower tire can give more consistency and speed for longer sessions. Nonetheless, I agree that a PSC2R (or a Performance Cup for me) keeps one hell of a pace. Anyway, be safe out there 💪
