They're actually not pro-drivers. They're the journalists at the magazine who run the laps. Some of the manufacturers will have a test driver lap the cars prior to the LL and give them a goal to understand what the car is capable of.
Case in point, this year's Cadillac CT-4 BW was 2 seconds slower than the GM test driver. They report the lap time the magazine journalist gets and not the GM test driver.
