The average times were Cup 2, 73.1, Cup 2 R, 71.8. The Laps Cup 2: 65, 64.8, 64.7, 65.1 Cup 2 R: 63.2, 64.1, 64.2, 64.4

1.3-1.5 seconds on a 1 Minute track so ~ 10 seconds on the NBR

Thanks for that.  So, if you assume 10 of the 17 second improvement of the 992 vs 991.2 GT3 is due to R tires, then there is a 7 second improvement (or 1 second per minute).  So, at my local track (~2 minutes), I should expect the new car to be 2 seconds per lap faster than my current car (that's a pretty significant difference).

More important will be how the new car feels - is it faster but less fun?  Or maybe the new front suspension makes lapping even more fun (could be less understeer and more precision and less front tire wear from scrubbing).  I would hope for the latter...
