I doubt it. You need a lap just to warm the tires up. I think the times they take are RP's best lap. That's why I put all those cars within a second of each other at basically the same time. Give him long enough in each car he may beat the time again. Or not, and maybe best the time posted from a different car.

I wish they would explain how THEY do it a little better. As street tires can get greesy and fall off after too many laps too. |

They probably all get to play with them a bit and then RP gets a warm up lap or two and they hit the timer. That would be my guess. Maybe if he really fargs it up they give him another. I'd like to know as well now.

He probably runs several laps, like a session at a weekend track day, then just use the best one for the video. Notice they all start being timed from a lap at full speed.
Randy could probably run that track blind-folded. It's probably the best format for comparison and times. I don't see how it could get any "closer". You can dig up minute details forever, but they won't have much, if any, impact. |

Warm up lap, then three timed laps, then cool-down. That's the format they use. |

Yep! I think it's more or less the way Randy does his thing haha even when I was there late in the day and they had already finished all of the official timed laps. Randy hoped in the car with Aaron Link and was like "can somebody time us?" He was going full bore for the first two laps but on lap three got sideways as hell coming through turn three (we couldn't see it but could hear it haha) so he call it quits and started cool-down early haha

In the video they mention he's run a 1:28 there and holds the production car track record, but in the BDC format he didn't get as many shots at a perfect lap.
