Porsche said using the old 20.6km loop, they did a 6:55.2.
17.5sec faster than outgoing GT3
1.2sec faster than RS. The RS was also done on the Cup 2 R tires(wider tires as well).

The new double wishbone front suspension and aero are major changes for achieving this time.
I was watching Henry Catchpoles Carfection video. He said the time he got to ride in the prototype, he could tell the lateral grip was up immensely due to that new front suspension.
