First ever Xiaomi SU7 Ultra BTG Laptime 7:09.8!
The car is standard version with Air suspension(the 7:04.9 official record was with Track/Competition Package that uses Bilstein damper), and was shipped from Beijing to Nurburgring two month ago. I was fortunately enough to catch a relatively clean lap on the 3rd of June during GranTurismo's Track Day.
However the tire was quite worn out, with around 60-70% of life-left, being this lap "the 7th Flying Lap" on this set of tire, the grip is still steady with no sudden "cliff-like" drop, which is amazing.
During this lap the iPhone running Racechrono is dead, I immediately went another lap afterwards and got 7:10.58, showing the lap time was repeatable.
After 7:10.58, the Racechrono ideal lap shows 7:06.02, slightly beating the "hypothetical(in my mind)" Taycan Turbo GT's 7:07.55, of course when all measured by BTG standard:)
