Bathurst Lap Record - 1.59.3 | Christopher Mies | Audi R8 GT3 | Full Onboard Lap

[@ajw1045]

You couldn't even take the last corner properly due to passing the other car and still you got it. What a monster lap Christopher!

[@Scott-lf6wl]

​@Varun REDDY The compromised corner affected him way more than the gain from drafting on a short straight

[@convarHUN]

Yeah yeah..........

[@aumpauskar4653]

Blue flag, blue flag

[@muzzaball]

I reckon he did a superb job on that slow car, and as you said - he still smashed it!

[@notdreadyet33]

Was he on an out lap, or did you just obliterate an open wheel car at Bathurst? 😅

[@bartonez123]

Probably lost a decent chunk of time due to that nugget in the final corner. Epic lap

[@antdx316]

prob got a tad faster because of the draft

Epic lap Chris, you are a fkn legend. I live about 30 minutes from Bathurst. People don't realise just how challenging that track is until they drive it themselves. Well Done to you. I can't believe some people in the comments think this is a game. Funniest shit ever

[@straingedays]

Onetime long ago driving to Canberra on a fireworks run, took the detour to Bathurst when the road was open to public. Skyline, The Dipper, Forest Elbow, and all of it to be absolutely honest shocked me how extreme it is. So much so, that I parked and walked down (then back up) The Dipper. Craziest shit ever !!

[@josea5052]

Discovered the track last week thanks to GT7 and it looked amazing to me. Reality is even better. It's a track extremely challenging and it's astonishing the way you drove around it. Genious

[@thtswhtshesai6d9]

Setting the track record on a track day is a pretty boss move

[@POLDRO]

[@WilliamLevesqueineX]

Helluva lap dude ! That annoying kit car thing at the end almost messed it up for you. Any chance we get a roll-bar cam ? Would be nice to see your inputs too.

[@rockbeauchamp4502]

[@TheOriginalStix]

What a lap! If you're on form like that for the actual race you'll be unstoppable!

[@K1lostream]

That motor sounds so nicely tuned - at 4K rpm it sounds like it's just limbering up from tickover, and right on the redline it sounds as if it could rev further quite easily - doesn't sound like it's on the ragged edge of its performance at all! You and the car made that look effortless!

[@Thunder0wnsz]

Absolute monster of a lap mate, squeezed everything out of the car and the track. That little blip of the throttle at 1:02 after you'd settled the car at the cuttings reminds me of the way senna would drive, you did it throughout the lap and again just before the dipper. Every inch of road counts. Absoloute rocket out the esses.

[@BETTER.ART.]

[@Hapkido82AUS]

slightly taller 6th gear and that bit less traffic at the end, might have done a 1:58 ?

[@andreagentile7732]

Hapkido 82 not sure.. Maybe a 59:0

[@benrobinson6113]

Ideally you want to hit your top speed around 75-80% of the way down the longest straight on the circuit. Bearing in mind up to roughly the last 10% of the straight may be braking zone; the extra 3 or 4 mph gained right at the end of the straight from a longer ratio isn't worth the slight penalty in acceleration to get there, especially around the rest of the circuit.

[@squidlips1044]

Yea i would say so. That shallow entry cause of the kit car and having to get out of the gas on corner exit was easily .4 to .5 off optimal

[@Jehco14]

The car is homologated with fixed gear ratios anyway. The only way to reach 300 kph would be to have larger wheels. I don't know what tyres it was and how good those were, but stick some Super GT-style confidential tyres, those with the larger diameter if possible, and you'll shave off another 3-4 seconds easily if this laptime was made on "customer" tyres (Pirelli DHD2 I would suppose).

[@HipsterNgariman]

@@Jehco14 If you want better top speed you'd want thinner tires because they create less drag/friction with the asphalt. Unrelated, but it is also why road cars have thin tires ; it's cheaper, more agile and more efficient.

[@replacingcoot56]
