Wow, awesome. Wish we could see some more detail on numbers, aids, settings, etc.
I'm pretty sure he had tire wear on off since the tires would've been gone before he even got out of the first sector going so quick since it's a hybrid.
Takes a humongous amount of skill to just navigate the course so fast though anyway so major props!
tire/fuel is definitely off, the hybrid version empties the fuel tank in about 20 seconds at full throttle
the aids were TCS at 3, SRF on, ABS 1, the car is undriveable without TCS, as you can see it was in 7th gear the entire time because of the ridiculous torque numbers.
the problem with that Civic is if you're giving it gas it's breaking traction (without TCS) and because the front wheels have to turn that basically means you can only give it gas in a relatively straight line.
Pfft. This is easy. I can do a lap in half that time with my eyes closed, hands tied behind my back, and while playing GT5 with a Rock Band drum kit instead of a DualShock 3 or a fancy wheel.
