The car didn't look as settled as the ZL1, but we expected that. This is a good video...who was driving? For a while, I was dreading the thought that the ZL1 might get beat by a GT500, but after watching this video, I would whole heartedly give credit to the GT500 if it won. This competition is absolutely awesome!!!
There were mistakes in that lap for sure but I not sure I would call the guy not a good driver. I think he was pushing hard and having grip issues.

he got 6 seconds a lap faster than the driver in a the lighting lap so mistakes or not he got the car around the track fast.

Cars that are hard to drive smooth are hard to run mistake free laps in. I think that is why you see the Boss lap faster than a Gt500 sometimes some people just don't have the skill level to pusht the car.
