What's with the automated manual, is it not a dual clutch set up?

It is a fully automated manual and yes it is a dual clutch setup.

I was thinking manuals with auto clutches like early BMW, Ferrari, etc

So....if the GTD is actually testing 4WD or AWD as stated in the specs...wouldn't that account for some of the extra weight we are seeing?

To be clear, it doesn't state that the vehicle was 4WD or AWD. It's the dyno used. It is clear elsewhere in the filing as well, that the GTD is 2WD/RWD.

1000% RWD (as mentioned), and remember the trans axle is located in the rear of the car, driven by a torque tube from the engine.

For all those who felt the GTDs record setting time wasn't definitive enough, or didn't meet the goal of 'faster than the GT3 - Ford shaves another 5 seconds off their previous Nürburgring lap time.
