Saw that, he's breaking the car in, cant make any judgements from that, and even if he werent, the cars he was passing wouldnt have helped. That looked like DE1 for NASA (the slowest group)

Electronic damper controls wont make a huge difference. They can only change the bump stiffness slightly, but the spring rates are still the same, in fact depending on the track, softer may eliminate some understeer.

yeah, but as slow as he was going, it wouldnt have mattered. The shift speed at 1/2 or 3/4 throttle isnt going to help you much anyways, if you're chillin.
