It was nice to see the ISF's top end shine on that long straight at the end of the video but... really having a hard time passing that Seat Leon at the beginning of the video? And even harder time with the Volvo C30?

Those Viper and Porsche were FAST!

I thought the same thing at first, but then consider the possible discrepancy between how much modding can be done to those vehicles compared to ours. They could have a completely different engine for all we know.

It's like somebody with a modded G8 GXP. Of course it's faster! It's a freakin' Corvette engine that you have since upgraded!

Just something to consider.

Superb driving. No dramatic steering wheel moves to catch slides, just very smooth, and very clean. I wish I could drive that smoothly.

Yes, you're right, but at the same time I'd think that an ISF runing at the ring would have all possible upgrades. Those Seat and Volvo are two light and quick turbocharged cars, they did a great job exiting the corners that quick where our ISF suffered from its heavy weight, and when catching up the next corner was there already. It was a clean, smooth and effortless ride though.
