How fast are F1 cars through Eau Rouge?

Compared to say, FIA GT cars (or random track day cars, the video labeling is suspect). This overlay gives a vivid demonstration of how much faster 2009 vintage Formula One cars are through the classic Spa complex than production based cars and heavier prototypes with less downforce. Pretty wild.

The F1 cars don't even follow the track. Video looks suspicious

The camera angles aren't exactly the same, so the overlay is a bit funky. Here is another video with just F1 cars. You can see the other video hasn't been speeded up.

The overlay isn't exact, but it looks about right. Here are the videos side by side, without the overlay.

Without the overlay, the slower cars do not look like FIA GT car. More like a track day or one of the semi-pro endurance series they have in Europe.
