Very clearly an instructional/intro lap not done at top speed. Yet, you can still get a sense of the amazing capability of this car. Incredible....The 3.6 Cadillac CTS is an amazing car, but the CTS-V?! Wow.
I just drove that track 2 weeks ago. Fun track! Watching that video, and I can say he was only pushing the car 7/10ths, at most there. There is a lot more brake and grip in that car than the driver was using. Looked to be just an instructional lap though. It's all good.
drive it like you stole it, the v8 is strong and can take a good beating

id think so as well that this is more of an instructional run b/c they are helmet-less... pretty sure helmets are needed for a beast like this :)

The CTS-V does extremely well on the race track, and this is one of the most challenging race tracks in the world.

What ever happened to both hands on the steering wheel at all times?

I forgot his name, and it indeed was a intro/demo lap, showed us how to drive on that track.
Although you may not feel its speed, I can tell you that "it was really fast to we other 3 guys"!!

James May drives faster than this, or was this a intro lap?
