The Carousel at Watkins Glen takes about that long. In the video below (from a much faster car), there are 10.25 seconds during which the car does pretty much what the OP's car is doing in his video:

Lateral G Avg -1.21
MPH Avg 96.35
Steering Avg 68.90°

The strong Lat G section starts at 43.15 of the lap time and ends at 53.42.

One of our cars would run around 11.5 seconds through the Carousel. That would lower the Lat G somewhat, and it might slightly reduce any potential oil starvation.
