The mention of tires is tres important. Tire tech plays a huge part in lap times.
The owner of the Porsche (IMSA GTU 911) I drove many, many years ago, was owned by he for a number of years. He changed nothing on the car other than rebuilds yet the car got faster and faster each year at the same circuits. The only difference was the tire development.
