That is precisely why many people ignore attempts to compare runs made on different days by different drivers, and why most enthusiasts look forward to seeing the lightning lap results. The cars get tested at the same time by the same driver, so the variable is the car itself. Its not about getting the best possible time (honestly, who relies on magazines for that?) but more about having a valid way to actually compare well different cars perform on the same track.
