Around 1:25.0 for a dry lap would be my guess.

For UK stig 1:24.5

I reckon we're in for a real shocker on this one ......

Will it be the Tip or the manual they test?

1:24.0

It's hard to know how fast it will be.
It will make up time from the standing start, but I don't know if it will like the tight corners. The time will depend on whether the Stig knows how to get the best from it.

also will depend on which rubber it is on....



if it's on the new cups in the dry, watch out 996 RS IMO

Thinking about it the Z06 time should be acheivable.

Murcielago 1.23.7
Zonda 1.23.8
Koenigsegg 1.23.9
