So I am curious, do people discount the Walter Rohl times because they don't believe him (or Prorsche) or is it possible that he is better at driving Porsches than V Saurma? I would love to see W Rohl times in some Porsche competitors such as the Gallardo and F430.



Because he is a FACTORY driver. Same as Tom Kristenssen(Le Mans winner!) for Audi and he achived 7.55min for R8...

Point is the W.Rohrl(or Tom Kristenssen for Audi) did more then 100 laps on the Ring during final car tuning process. So, he knows the car to his bones!
What W.Rohrl could do in Gallardo? How about-slower then von Saurma! Why? He do not know Gallardo at all, he drives and lives Porsche for last two decades... See my point?

Horst von Saurma is a very, very good driver and his times are legit as possible for me. Maybe not for you...
