The video on the left is from a track day (note the yellow caterham), they are not full on GT cars. That being said Spa is quite possibly the coolest track ever. Anthony Davidson (ex F1 & current factory Peugeot LMP1 Driver) said it’s a flat out corner in both cars, but it’s “easy” in the F1 car, and borderline out of control in the lmp1 car lol

Edit: Here is a video showing Fia GT1 cars through the same corner, still not as fast as a F1 car but the difference is way less than the video in your link

Like Fiend said, the video in the first post is not representative of what top GT cars can do. The video he posted seems to show GT2 cars based on the ticker.

That’s a fantastic angle to give people a better idea of how fast that corner is.

I used video doubler with the updated GT footage. That’s a neat little tool…

FIA GT2 (guessing based on ticker…maybe GT1) on left vs. F1 on right:
