I know it isn't. Just my human mind can't comprehend that kind of car control at that speed. Bonkers.

That car is mental if that video is at the right speed.
Makes F1 cars seem slow.

That car IS mental. Earlier this year it went round Spa faster than an F1 car. Here it's just gone round the most challenging and feared circuit in the world nearly a full minute faster than anything else that's tried it. Granted there hasn't been an F1 car going round there in anger in 40 years, but the Porsche 956 it took the record from was no slouch either - it was a 240mph+ ground-effect monster. This thing annihilated it.

unfortunately the mentalness gets stripped out

Then in the car it's twice as bad. Filmed my few laps and it seemed so fast at the time but playing them back I could have been selling ice creams on the way round.

He did OK, but he kinda fucks up a bunch of the corners and the start/finish. Great run but she could easily do better.
