Gonna take a stab @ lap times...

*ZR1--Low 19s
*R8 V10--upper 19s

I believe the R8 will be close, even though it's heavier & has less power, because they're just such an unbelievably stable platform (I've had the pleasure of driving a standard R8 on the track & they're awesome @ the limit!).

Can't wait for the show!
