Nothing to believe, that's fact.

Update on the 2 NSX-R.

First one is now on place 27 with 3 laps behind.
Second is on place 76 with 4 laps behind.

Place 1 still the Manthey 911 GT3

To compare, Manthey GT3 fastest lap: 8:47.655min, average speed: 162.556 km/h
(Faster? On place 27) NSX-R fastest lap: 10:00.637min, average speed: 145.738 km/h

Of course both cars are in different car groups. The leading Porsche is in group SP7 and got >500hp. The NSX-R is in group SP6 with only ~320hp. The better NSX-R is place 7 in its group ranking.

About 4 hours driven, first driver changes will start now..

..

Didn't Jeremy in Top Speed do 9.99min at the ring in one episode?

 

[Klayton]

They drove the full 25.9 km.

 

[Klayton]

That might be the reason the second NSX-R drove only ~11 hours.
