And that time was set by H.V.Saurma, which in my opinion is slower than C.Gebhardt...

Spa OT
2018 F1 Spa GP, the best time under dry conditions is from Ferrari in Q2: 1:41.5.
This is 2 tenths faster than the lap of the 919 Evo from Neel Jani.
Last year, from Q2 to Q3 the poleman dropped the time by almost 4 tenths, so let's assume that a 1:41.1 would have been the pole time this year with Q3 under dry conditions.
This would be 6 tenths faster than the 919 Evo lap time.
All in all, I am not that impressed by the times of the fastest 2018 F1 cars (Ferrari-Mercedes), and I think that the 919 Evo would still be a quicker car than them under the same track conditions.
To me, Porsche should come back to Spa after the F1 week-end and re-take the record.
I know that I would, if I were them.

In Sachsenring 918 is as fast as GT 2 RS with much stickier rubber. According to me 918 with Cup 2 R would be still the fastest one at least in some track

This is a very interesting point: I wonder if the tire war was fueled in part by the desire to write "faster than the [918, P1, LaFerrari]!" on the brochure. On today's tires, the crop of hybrid supercars from a few years ago would likely be unstoppable.

I wonder what an unrestricted F1 car could do around the Ring...?Spa OT

They would need to raise the car, work on springs/shocks, etc. F1 cars are fragile comparing to endurance LMP1 cars.
The ring is very bumpy.

They used to race on it. Made 6:58 in 1975 on the longer 22.8km old layout. Take 10% off that time and it's already fast. The 'ring has lots of high speed corners, some of which would be flat-out in an F1 car - Flugplatz, Schwedenkreuz, Klostertal, probably even the bend coming onto main straight.

The unrestricted Porsche 919 EVO and 2018 F1 car are lapping the Spa track on aprox the same time. Even if the Ring is not suited for F1 cars I can't imagine it would be much slower than the 919 EVO so maybe 5:25... An unrestricted F1 should easily go under 5 min.
