Comparing times is a bit superfluous since chances are it will be an apples and oranges comparison. Tires, tire pressures, suspension mods, engine mods, driver experience, and weather conditions, to name a few, all influence lap times and it will be nearly impossible to get a true apples to apples comparison. It's best to work on safely improving your times. That is enough of a chase in itself as there's always something that could be better. Videoing your sessions is a great way to find places to improve.

Your lines thru the corners generally look good. However, there were a few corners where you missed the apex by quite a bit. While there are very few "perfect" laps, if you're missing an apex by a car width or more, try backing up your entry brake point. That should allow you to dive to the apex. Missing an apex by a car width will cost you, so that's a way cut time.

The Cayman was late in giving you the point by (you were entering the brake zone). It's up to you to decide IF you should take the point by and can safely execute the pass. It's perfectly acceptable to wait for a better place to pass. Or if you do pass, you must carefully execute the corner, usually on a different line. That may mean going slower to make it safely thru. A lot to consider in a split second. This time it wasn't a costly learning experience. Have fun and bring all 4 corners home safely.
