I was asking of whomever attended what specific mechanical problems, bad pit stops, time penalties, “bad strategy”, etc. that cost the other guys 2 laps.

Seeing as you can't do 2.5hrs in a GT car, your math is incorrect.

They also don't do 2min/lap.

They had two very, very quick pitstops timed well and managed to work their way back. If the point you are trying to make here is that they benefitted from a wave by, then why not just say that?

What you need to understand is that the race strategy is fluid, not fixed, and it encompasses everything from traffic, to brake changes. It's not as simple as, oh, we got a wave by...now we can push...
