I think the lap time is slightly skewed. The lap time starts slightly before turn one and ends just at the last corner. There is a good couple hundred feet to finish.
I just watched the video. There's still quite a bit of track left after that last turn to where they had the timing gear set-up. Not sure if that's how all the laps are timed, but I don't think it's a complete lap either.
This is the same 20.6 km track used by Sport Auto.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordschleife_fastest_lap_timesNot all of the following laptimes are comparable. A full lap of the de:Nordschleife, bypassing the modern GP track, is 20.832 km long. Full uninterrupted flying laps can only be done in closed sessions and race events like Castrol-Haugg-Cup.
During the industry testing sessions in which de:Sport auto records its "Supertest", the track can not be traveled at full speed past "Tribüne 13" (T13, grandstand 13) in order to allow safe access from the old exit/entrance there. Thus, Sportauto Supertests cover only about 20.6 km, which in average yields a 7 s shorter lap time compared to a full lap.
There are 5 sections on the 20,600 meters long Supertest-Nordschleife:
1st=3850 m
2nd=4235 m
3rd=4825 m
4th=4846 m
5th=2844 m
=20600 m
