If you look in the video, you see the brake lights right at the end before that in-cockpit segment, and when he gets to the same point in-cockpit, it sure seems like he's hit the brakes, engine winds down, trans downshifts. I'd put money on it, given the brake lights, he's braking to keep from reaching insane triple digit speeds on a public road. Car downshifting to stay "ready", as I would expect a trans of that caliber to.
