What happened in the hot lap was this:

The M2C was ahead of the Supra until this. Pobst is an unbelievable driver. I don't think any mortal would experience this.

Even so, dodgy brakes aside, a lap time of 1:40.83 is faster than a Cayman S 981 and a Cayman R 987.
So this pretty well confirms the brake issues Car & Driver had. I don't recall any complaints about the OG M2 brakes and I don't understand why the new brakes are having these issues. The M2C is heavier but the brakes are also larger so you would think the extra weight would be offset.
