Mustang GTD at Nurburgring?

[palsmith]

Anyone heard any lap time rumors from the Mustang GTD testing at Nurburgring? It's been at least a month; I was hoping a Mustang variant would get into the 6 minute range.

Last I heard they're targeting 7 minute laps. 6 minute laps are the realm of insane hyper cars. the 2,000 hp all carbon ev Rimac Nevera only did a 7:05 so to get a factory mustang steel unibody (which is what the GTD is based around still) down below that would be absolutely insane. I'm not sure the full aero GTD Pro racecar with the more powerful street car engine could come close to that on slicks.

911 GT3 is in six minute range (below seven seconds to clarify)

Ford said they wanted to do a sub 7 minute lap. I really hope they can do it.

Are those Nurburgring lap times or bridge to gantry times? Massive difference there.

It will be the full lap, bridge to gantry is mostly used for touristenfahrten.

Just had a look at the GT2 RS lap. Porsche gives two times. One for the full lap and a slightly quicker time using the Industriefahrten start/finish line
