Don't focus too much on all those laptimes. Remember that most of these lapstimes are set by (very-) different drivers in different years,weather, so many different variables..

I can confirm that they (Autoweek) said it would have up to 300bhp but Autoweek isn't exactly a great source lol.

The pitstops went okay, they checked the brakes (visually), new tyres, refueled and cleaned windows. That's about it really. So they didn't took that long, other then the one pitstop when the race...

Gazoo will offer more power for Japanese customers, that's something I've heard yesterday at the race. But I didn't get that information from Gazoo so I can't confirm it.

I don't know if they use race gas, I don't see a reason why they should. Most cars use octane98 which is 'premium' here in Europe. Power output has to be within 5% of OEM specs.

Depends on material. They've used a complex cage though, connecting/welded to the A-pillar with thick frames so it's not exactly lightweight.

Yes it's relatively small for a modern FR car. I think the last gen. Celica is longer.. or at least it looks longer. The FT86 looks really compact, and for me personally it's just right.

1100kg is the weight of the race car. So it'll be closer to 1200kg+ in stock form, depending on options etc.

Those cars have been driving on the Nordschleife a little bit more then the FT86 (understatement) so it's pretty normal for them being faster.
