That is a great lap, but how many did he do in a row at those lap times? Hero laps make great bragging rights but can that car do this for 20 minutes non-stop??
(maybe the Porsche can, IDK for sure).

In my experience, as soon as I hit traffic my lap times can be up to 10 seconds a lap slower if I can't get past them quickly. That makes a huge difference in how much thermal load the car generates. A couple of "slow laps" and a couple of all out laps and the car may not ever over heat if this cycle is done over and over again.....which often happens at HPDE track days.
