It should also be noted that there are points where he was intentionally off pace. Have a look at the 1:10 area. He's chatting with the passenger through Quiddelbacher-Höhe and in to Flugplatz. I think he slows down in Flugplatz to give the passenger a feel for the high-speed line acceleration.
He sure as shit nails other parts of the track hard though. Here's my highlight reel commentary
1:10 Looked like he was full on it up to Hocheichen, then he lifts for Quiddelbacher-Höhe and kind of coasts through Flugplatz
1:40 Big lift for Schwedenkreuz. Not so much as a flick of the steering wheel over the crest. Probably could have gone flat.
2:05 Nice and clean run through Adenauer Forst, which even solicited a gimme-five
2:40 Watch the compression hit at the chicane between Kallenhard and Wehrseifen. Bam!
3:15 Pulls hard out of Ex Müle. So much so he checks up a bit.
3:45 The fourth-left after Bergwerk was flat; as it should be in a DTM car.
4:00 Just the slightest lift at Mutkurve.
4:30 Blasts it out of the Karussell.
4:55 Carries 5th through Hedwigshöhe, heyo!
5:30 Lifts just before Pflanzgarten, but that might be typical in a DTM car; not sure.
5:40 Another opportunity to carry 5th taken at Sprunghügel.
5:45 Hauls ass through Pflanzgarten II!
From there it's pretty clinical. Must have been a lot of fun, but the time isn't full 10/10ths pace.
