I should be able to shave 5 sec off next time I go.
They're using their cell GPS to gauge time. I have the latest and greatest Samsung Note 5 and use the GPS mapping to time my walks and jogs. It's horribly inaccurate and inconsistent when you look at the data. They need a real timing transponder for the track. I call BS on the 1:40.88 time. This car definitely is not beating out a C6 Z06 Vette, Cayman R, and C63 AMG S at the hands of Randy Pobst.

You don't think 1 second slower than the M4 is feasible? |
I do. I think the GPS isn't great but the timer should be dead on, right? it might lie about your pace around the track but if you start/stop on the start/finish line I'd think it's basically like using a stopwatch.
not the same as going for a jog, waiting for it to hit 3.1miles then checking the time to see what your 5k time is.. i.e. it might say the lap was a few tenths of a mile longer/shorter than actually traveled, but the time should still be accurate.
I'm not an expert but that adds up to me. I do, however, want to see what Randy can do with the M2. maybe they'll do a M2 v. M4 head to head.
