That 7:17 Turbo S time
was done by the Sport Auto driver. However, one also has to keep in mind that run was done on P Zero Corsas, whereas the M8 is on regular P Zeros. Similarly, I must assume the GT 63 S time folks are referencing (7:25:40) was done with Sport cup 2s*. Not sure how much time the M8 would shave swapping to either of those, but it is quite a long track.
The 7:30 992 time was also Sport Auto, but regular P Zeros like the M8. Of course, on the 992 they're dealing with about 1000lbs less in weight.
Edit: That Turbo S also looks like it has lightweight bucket seats, a rear seat delete and...whatever that bar/brace is.
*and is the Mercedes time, not Sport Auto.
