Uh oh. That's not right... We were expecting ~7:40. Sport Auto does a lot of lapping around the Nürburgring and they're legit. There is definitely something wrong on Toyota's end. I hope our insiders can look into this. A Civic Type R with track tires, weight savings, and a roll cage beat this. No Civic of any form should be within 10 seconds of a Supra IMHO.
lol. Calm down. Sport Auto laps are usually one shot deals. Not with a whole crew and optimal conditions. I've noticed over the years, they have a delta of 15-20 seconds (17s on avg) off from what the manufacturers can manage. Considering it's tied the M2 comp and out paced the Z4 (with less power than both), I'd say not too bad at all.Uh oh. That's not right... We were expecting ~7:40.

It is tied with the M2 Competition which is cool but we all know the Supra is an order of magnitude more capable than the M2 Competition. It should blow it out of the water.
Toyota needs to do a lap themselves and set things straight, or we're going to need Tada-san to come clean and be truthful about the Supra's capabilities.

Could only find hypothetical lap time for the MKIV stock:I've searched, but cannot for the life of me find a lap time for a MK4 TT stock. Curious to see how one did compared to the Mk5
Traction control, probably?Uh oh. That's not right... We were expecting ~7:40. Sport Auto does a lot of lapping around the Nürburgring and they're legit.
