Has the car been lightened at all? If not, it is a 5 lap wonder, not to mention the cars he picks on for the "show off" are 150bhp econoboxes then when he catches up tot the winged Porsche into the gravel he goes LOL

Still, if the car has not been lightened, it is nothing more than a 5 lap wonder.
The laws of physics still rule. Overweight and over powered means cooked brakes and tyres after a few laps. You have to divert the kinetic energy somewhere after the potential energy in the fuel is converted to torque and the car has built up insane speeds by the entry to the next corner and the braking mark approaches - some will be the heat out the brakes and then the tyres have the job of somehow maintaining grip.... eventually they will cook off - the heavier the car the sooner the tyres are toast.
Blame Sir Isaac Newton, not I

It is not a racing car by any means, nor is it a serious track day car. This guy is just having fun with his fast car on a track, nothing more. He doesn't have to win a 24H race or anything. Of course the car would perform better if it was lighter, as would any other car, but that's not the point.
