I haven't the article in front of me at the moment but I don't think it said the amount of laps the GT3 did, though it did stress the fact that Andy had never driven a GTR and he was less familiar with driving on the right side, plus he only did one flying lap.
I know from my days in karting that during testing it took me at least 3~4 laps to get into the zone and that was in something I was very familiar with. I'm not says my time dropped by seconds but then again most laps were only a minute long.
If you don't see someone total lack of experience with the GTR as proof positive that he could easily had knocked a great chunk of time off his lap which I might add included the pit lane which adds approximately 4 seconds per lap minimum then I am lose for words.
Edit (Added)
The 7:29 time was achieved on stock rimes and tyres, can't tell whether the suspension was adjusted but chances are it was, so at best those extremely expense rimes and tyres accounted for 2 seconds over the stock Dunlops. LOL
