No it didnt, proof of that is from the trackside photographers who were taking all the photos of him. Each time they take a photo it has a time, you take another photo it has the new time. Pretty easy to work out the difference and get a good idea on his lap times. All indications are his times were between 1m 47s and 1m 42s. Still pretty good, though.
Heres the times from other journo's who rode the Duc, mind you, they only got 4 laps, not the 58 laps that Shuey got.
