The car - SRT Viper GTS '13
The track - Laguna Seca
The tires - Comfort Soft
The time - 1:36.43 according to the video below, but 1:34.23 according to fastestlaps.com

Do you have what it takes? Oil change is prohibited!

Why is there a time difference?

You mean between the real video and the time on fastestlaps.com? I'm not sure.

If you mean between my time and Randy's, it's due to one or more of these three things:

1) Randy could go faster
2) I could go faster
3) The tires I chose are the wrong tires

The difference is quite a bit. I would think maybe track timer vs in car timer on video. Track timer obviously more accurate, but might speak to times on video recordings being more of a rough time, while the Tracks timers are "official".

Just ran my stock no oil changed SRT Viper GTS '13 on comfort softs and once again virtual is on par with reality. It took me a few laps but I almost ran the exact time. My first lap was a 1:37.082 with my good clean best time of 1:36.420. This is proof on why I'm a fan of PD, with a driver like Randy Pobst behind the wheel and a driver such as myself behind the DS3 can run close times like this, 👍 PD!
