World's record is 6'21, impressive time and close perfect lap i think.

Right, he was added in the 1.42 update.Who you can regularly be confronted to as one of the AI cars in the game.
Oh I did not know that he was added with 1.42, I only noticed him because of his name, reminding me the lawyer of Keyser Söze in the movie Usual Suspects 😁Right, he was added in the 1.42 update.
More than difficult to keep that pace for 6+ minutes. You'd really have to be an alien.I suspect they could. But not so the lesser gods.
I think you'd probably find that to be true of most of the circuit experience gold standards. They're based on trials which were done by expert sim drivers. It's far easier for the expert driver to put together a picture perfect (and fast) single sector than it is for the expert driver to put together a picture perfect full lap. Which explains what you said there in your last sentence about the aliens.That makes sense, but the point remains; it's vastly easier to get a gold lap than to gold the sectors because you generally have to be a lot less perfect. Even the aliens couldn't gold an entire Nur lap with the exact same sector times as they achieved individually.
Dang, I barely got under 7 minutes, there's no way I'd pull that off, did he save a replay. I haven't looked yet.World's record is 6'21, impressive time and close perfect lap i think.

Ok the thread title is a bit controversial but I´ll explain why I say this.
I am an experienced Gran Turismo driver with about 20 years in the series. I was successful in many competitions during this time and made it twice to the GT Academy Final in Silverstone. I´m able to do Top 100 lap times in GT Sport and I did thousands of laps around the Nordschleife.
This is my most favourite track and I would consider my times very good there. I´m always within a range of 4-8 seconds to the world records depending on car and class.
So I went for the Nordschleife Circuit Experience and expected a one try gold. This wasn't the case and it took me several attempts to beat the gold time of 6:37.800 only by a tenth. The same challenge in GT Sport has a gold time of 6.57.900 so over 20 seconds more, while the car physics in GT7 seem to be about 5 seconds slower per lap.
So I did more laps and tried the best I could do and got a 6:34.090. Of course this lap wasn't perfect and there will be aliens doing sub 6:30 but I guess no average player will ever get close to the gold time.
From the result of past events and daily races on the Nordschleife I guess there are only a few thousand players around the world who could beat this gold time. If we assume GT7 will sell several million copies this are less than 0,1% of all players.
