Here’s what’s known about lap times for a McLaren F1 GTR at the modern Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps (7.004 km) — but note there’s no widely documented official real-world “modern Spa” time from professional testing/race qualifying like you find for Formula 1 cars.

🏁 Real-World Historic Data

1997 FIA GT / 4-Hours of Spa:
• In the 4 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps (GT championship), JJ Lehto set pole in a McLaren F1 GTR with a lap of ~2:08.984 around the older 6.974 km layout used in 1997.
Wikipedia

(This event reflects period GT racing, not a modern F1 sprint/Formula race outright lap record — and the track configuration was slightly shorter.) The fastest race lap that weekend was slower (~2:12).
Wikipedia

Important: That 1997 time is from an actual race weekend on the pre-2007 Spa layout, not the fully modern 7.004 km GP configuration.

🏎️ Sim/Unofficial Lap Times (Useful for Comparison)

Because official real-world GT1 lap times for the F1 GTR at modern Spa aren’t published, most reference comes from sim racing:

• Assetto Corsa (sim): Top McLaren F1 GTR times around modern Spa are around ~2:22.1–2:25.1 in user leaderboards (e.g., 2:22.118 fastest leaderboard time and 2:25.147 example).

These times are indicative of the performance envelope relative to modern cars but not official on-track times.

🏆 Modern Spa Benchmark (for context)

For comparison to modern performance at Spa:
• F1 cars today lap in the 1:40 – 1:45 range (e.g., record ~1:40.510 qualifying time).

🧠 Notes

There isn’t a publicly official real-life modern Spa lap time for the McLaren F1 GTR from professional testing or record-keeping.

Historic GT championships (BPR/FIA-GT) show competitive GT1 pace (~2:08-2:12) on older circuits but differ from today’s layout and conditions.

Sim racing leaderboards give a rough idea of what a well-driven F1 GTR might do on the modern layout under ideal conditions, but these are virtual results, not verified real world.
