It is comical and it's the same thing on every car forum. It's such a weird metric to use to claim one car is better than another. I don't understand how you can compare Nordschleife times that were run on different days, with different drivers, and under different "track" conditions to claim one car is proven "faster" than another. Even during races around Nordschleife, a pro racer's lap times can vary a couple seconds each lap.
It's only non-pros that can't even drive at an elite level that obsess over Ring times that their car
might be capable of under the right conditions with the right driver. I can see how it can be fun for entertainment value, but some people take it serious and a truly believe in the lap times and consider them proof of superiority or inferiority.
