Look who is faster. Nordschleife it’s not just camber plates and tire pressure. Think about engine oil, diff oil, modified air ducts, carbon break disks and pads, high octane gasoline, Special engine tune (altitude, humidity, temperatures......) probably the cars where assembled with minimized tolerances. Even the amateurs doing all this.

Changing all the things you mentioned would be cheating. Maybe it happens by manufacturers since there's no governing body for Nurburgring lap times, but I doubt the team would put their credibility as engineers in question. And IF they did, they are not going to come onto the forum and admit to it!

I believe them that the car was completely stock down to the tires and brake pads, with the exception of safety equipment. The specific question being asked is about the on car adjustments made within the existing hardware (such as tire pressure and alignment info).
