I lined that video up alongside the Hans Stuck lap:
and watched four-odd minutes of the 'race". I don't think the gap between them changed by more than two seconds over that whole period. And Stuck had a bit of traffic.
I wonder what record it was that the Radical broke??

GREAT Video! Thanks!!
The lap record for the Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit still stands at 6:11:13 by Stefan Bellof in a 956 Porsche -1983.
Bellof was killed in 1985 at Spa trying to pass Jackie Ickx (962), on the outside, at the top of Eau Rouge.
FWIW.

What's with all the paint on the track 
I know on my motorcycle, just touching a painted line is a major loss of traction/stability.
