maybe some of those 9 seconds they found on the Nurburgring came from these changes.

Surely the 9-second improvement can't be simply because of the track being dry unlike the wet condition in their first published record lap?

As far as I've read, there were 2 damp turns when they ran that first time. gaining a couple fractions of a second on 2 turns doesn't give you nine, so that's why I said _some_ of the 9 seconds _might_ have come from suspension tuning and stiffer mounts. Add in a couple things the driver learned about the track since the previous run, and there's your 7:29.
