I SHOOPS DA WOOP!!!
Simple calculation was simple. GrumpE kind of gave me something to start with: he said that most of the track was done between 300-500 mph. I just split the difference:
400
Then, I remembered that the track was at or around 1.5 miles:
(1.5 / 400)
Of course, the measurement is miles per HOUR but we're hunting SECONDS, so I remembered that there are 3,600 in an hour:
(1.5 / 400) x 3600 = 13.750~ish
I cheated. LOL!!
Gonna go with one that's a bit more simple, and a WHOLE lot harder to calculate. Most of you that know me know that prototypes are my favorite class, and that Sarthe 1/2 are my favorite courses. That said, give it your best shot:
Circuit de la Sarthe 2 (unchicaned)
Sauber Mercedes C9 Race Car '89
Oil Change
NO other upgrades
R3 tires
Gentlemen, you have the rest of Sunday to make your guesses, and I will post the time on Monday morning.

I knew I gave out too many hints, but I figured since few of you have driven hybrids, I should give you some info to base a guess on. and btw doing the math is never cheating!

It's actually kind of a toss-up between Fabmaru and Flynn, but I think I'm going to give it to Fabmaru because he hasn't had a go yet, and he got REALLY close on the decimals.
Fabmaru = 2:51.482
Actual run = 2:53.492
Good going, matey! 👍
Your turn now.
EDIT: Geeze, GrumpE, I wish I could drive a 2:41 with a stock Sauber. You give me far too much credit.

Holy CRAP I'm good!! However, since I've had my go, I'm more than happy letting Anderson have a shot. Everyone else alright with that arrangement?

Thanks Ig, I will run a stock 2004 361hp BMW M3 at Nurburgring with no aids. Its on S2's and I will be using Royal purple synthetic motor oil.
You have until tomorrow at around 1-2pm EST to guess, good luck. I wont look in here until then, or after I run the time.

I was probably too optimistic with my guess, but that thing definitely should do less than 7'30
