I cant agree more with that statement. There is no point being able to lap as quick as the top guys if the next few laps you end up on your roof a few times. I always aim to have my average laptime with 1 sec of my quickest laptime, it doesnt always work out like that but when I'm going well it's usually between 0.5~1sec.
I would always suggest going for an easy to drive car with quite a slow motor and aim to drive the full 5 min. without crashing and needing marshalled. After that try to do it without making any mistakes at all. If you can do that then no matter what motor is in your car you wont be to far off the front end pace. Then you just slowly go for quicker motors trying to maintain the same standard of driving. Going quick in a straight line is pretty useless if you then miss the apex of the corner at the end of the straight by a meter.
