I will say that he did OKAY considering the traffic, and he surely did show a good mix of discipline & ambition. However, there were many times there where he was not passing traffic and had the ability to take the proper line but did not.
I can't recall the number of laps, but I know that I saw quite a few glaring screwups. At least twice he went horribly through the Hairpin, regardless him having been away from traffic. He took Dunlop rather poorly, although I do recall he was passing someone on the inside there, but he should have exercised patience and waited until heading towards the 13th for passing. Also his apex on Panasonic is atrocious if he's looking for any kind of good speeds on the mile long straight.
and @dickhead up there... clearly I've driven Fuji before. Real or not, after a couple hundred laps, it's hard NOT to know what you're talking about. And passing Porsche Turbos doesn't mean shit if they're not pushing hard. He was overtaking everything because it was obviously a club day and everyone was taking it easy, and this no talent hothead thought it would be fun to drive like a moron because he had a camera to show off for.
Engage brain before keyboard indeed.

Bonus tip? Honk your horn at the start (or end) and you have the automotive equivalent of a film sync 'beep'. Line up in your editor of choice and bam.

...they have built-in mics, plus separate mic input jacks, so you could run a cheapie little lavalier mic on one channel out the passenger window & tape it to the back somewhere & get nothing but squealing tires & engine/exhaust notes, and leave the other channel to record the interior sounds from the remaining onboard mic. Your idea to do a single horn beep after starting to record would work perfectly fine for syncing video & audio tracks.

@Chris Hampton: In the studio, you generally don't want to use any kind of screen like you're referring to... the point of studio recording is to get as accurate representation of the sound as possible; although, if you're recording vocals with a condenser mic or tube condenser, it's common to use a pop filter, but that's a different thing altogether. What you're thinking about are shotgun mics when used outdoors, and they have either foam or cute little furry things that can that be fitted to them, which are colloquially referred to as "dead cats", like in the pic.

Just strip the audio in postproduction, and add a soundtrack.
