Hi!
The speed is substantially wrong in some places in an exported video and exported logfile. It looks very correct most of the lap, then in some places slowly drops too low and then (via magically high acceleration) picks up to the correct speed again. I'm very unhappy not to be able to trust the logfile data.

RaceChrono data is only as good as your GPS is able to produce. This data comes from your GPS, and RaceChrono just saves and displays that data. BT-Q818XT is quite old receiver, and there are better ones available. Maybe consider purchasing Garmin GLO which will produce much better data, as it is locked to GPS as well as GLONASS satellites.
With careful GPS receiver placement you can sometimes improve reception, but on a powerful car like yours, and GPS behind the windshield, your BT-Q818XT receiver will always have problems like you're having now...
I'm using Garmin GLO for GPS and BT ELM327 for OBD2. I find that the GPS speed is often delayed relative to the OBD2 speed (somewhat expected) and the speed difference can be 5-10km/h. Having said that, would you said the OBD2 speed is the most accurate data?
A good GPS with good update rate and signal will probably be better.
