I think Porsche curves are the best place to look for lap time drops. I don't think we're talking about multiple seconds though, but surely there is more to it. I think the repave, modern tires, better aero and gains in other technical areas of the car can explain the difference. The new GTE's are also pretty close at Spa too. A 2:12.4 by the Ford GT is about a couple seconds away from the GT1 record.
