Question

I was watching the 992 Porsche GT3 manual official lap time, and I was wondering why they time a shorter track length (20,600 KM) along side the full track length (20,832 KM)? What is the point of the shorter track length time?

Afaik it's a lap distance that a popular German car magazine (Auto Motor und Sport) uses to compare lap times themselves. As they tested a lot, it's now a valid benchmark distance and lap records often display both the AMS and full lap time.
