Irl, racers drive factory-grade cars only - i.e. if you're an AF Corse driver, you're driving a 488 GTE at 0 upgrades. Irl, racing performance is affected by outside influences (rain, wind, etc.). In-game, your cars are almost always hypered-up and you always race in perfect conditions. I think Lotterer must have driven a factory-grade car, and he's obviously making a clean lap, without pushing the car closer to the walls. He's a racer, so his performance in-game is not that of a gamer. The main thing is also, the tracks arent actually to scale. Some corners aren't accurate, straights arent exactly the right length. In endurance events your car travels 2 car lenthgs and an extra 10m is added to your distance. These cars are not 5m long!
