Hey I'm far from saying he's a bad driver because he certainly isn't but I still think he could have gone a little faster in certain parts of the track. Amazing lap though

I’m sorry to have to tell you this but I’m afraid that there is absolutely no way for you to have any idea whether or not that car could have been driven faster around the circuit simply from watching the video. I have been racing cars almost as long as I have been driving them and even I can’t tell for sure. Dash cam videos ALWAYS make it seem like the car is going slower than it actually is. You would have to be in the car at the time to really have a clue. Or at the very least you would have to be someone who not only has a lot of experience driving that particular track but who also has experience racing that exact car with the exact same set-up. Of course if you ever see a guy wildly power-sliding around all the turns - like some crazy guy in a Porsche was doing in one of these Nurburgring videos - then you can be completely sure that his time will not be nearly as fast as it could have been, because that kind of sloppy race driving really slows you down (although it may look very fast). The only time that kind of driving will give you fast lap times is on a dirt track.
