Jeez. I can't believe anyone actually puts any weight on Ring times. If they aren't on the same day, in the same weather conditions, and with the same driver they are completely meaningless. At my home track (Infineon/Sears Point) the lap times can vary by 2 or 3 seconds just with repaving, much less driver, climate, and surface temp considerations. On a track as long as the Ring, all these differences are magnified many times over.

And not that it matters (see above) but it's 3 seconds difference, not 3 thousandths.
