I'll wager that the 8:15 official time will stand.
Heres something pulled from wiki regarding sport auto Ring laps. It seems they are not the full circuit. Add approx 7 seconds to the 8:15 lap time for a full North Loop lap.
wiki excerpt-"Sport Auto lapDuring the industry testing sessions in which sport auto records its "Supertest", the track can not be traveled at full speed past "Tribüne 13" (T13, grandstand 13) in order to allow safe access from the old exit/entrance there. Thus, sport auto Supertests cover only about 20.6 km (12.8 mi), which in average yields a 7 s shorter lap time compared to a full lap."

In principle, all the times published are the so called Sport Auto time. Check the video of eg the Nissan GTR published by Nissan:
the video of the Corvette ZR1 published by Corvette:
the video of Megane RS Trophy published by Renault:
