Given the number of times he's done the Ring he says the 348 was "Definitely 8:45" pace, to put that in perspective that's about the quickest a 'standard' Lotus Exige has gone round according to the road car lap record times. Yep, I'm sure the Dutch driver of the 348 knows the track but that's still not bad for a late 80s, early 90s car.
Edit: The bike he is riding would have blown away a 430, looking at the relative Ring times of the 2.
