That's kinda the thing about the course - it's narrow so there's not a lot of line selection. It's also bumpy and unforgiving which means you need very good, stable chassis setup that gives a driver confidence so they can push that hard.

And yes, of course, the drivers have to be pretty amazing PLUS be absolute experts of every nuance of every turn. But all of the guys who do these factory backed runs are just that good. Note that the GT2RS did it with two drivers and with two different cars just to prove it wasn't a fluke lap, either.
