I think we discussed this before, it would be the same or faster than the Gazoo race LFAs.

I will have video on Friday evening. To clarify the ZR1 used a special prototype racing tire. The Nurburgring Edition LFA was used for this record as it would be delivered to a customer, nothing modified.

Below is a picture of the driver (in Jeans) with the LFA Chief Engineer at the dinner last night:

Wow! That is amazing that is an actual customer car. I cannot wait to see the video. Please do post it up as soon as you get it. It is going to be one hell of a treat to watch especially with THAT engine sound. It will also make it official that LFA did run that time.

Is the driver Akira Iida???

On Supraforums, there's talk the official time was 7:19. Any truth to this or confirmation of the 7:14? TIA,

7:19 was what initially Lexus said over a year ago. Since then, it has gone through a lot of testing and improvement. Lexus Europe says now on the production 'ring edition, it was 'less than 7:14', but it still needs to be confirmed.
