I used to know the guy, Neal Champion, who still holds the John O'Groats to Lands End motorcycle record. This was way back in 1984 on a Kawasaki Z750Turbo and he did it in 11 hours and 14 minutes including fuel stops. He says it would be hard to beat now because of the average speed cameras on the motorways. BTW I knew Neal on the uk.rec.motorcycles Usenet group, and (I think) the Ixion email group. I wonder if anyone reading this remembers those groups, and the Cadwell Park track days?

It's a damn shame that "blame the track" attitude ruined so many great tracks. You can add run off and safer barriers and etc without having a tiny track like most now. Sheesh we have drones and megascreens for spectators in the stands to get to see the whole race now, and also immediately notify officials of a crash the moment it happens, it would be less of a problem than ever. Tracks should be challenging and fast!

There could be like, 10 or 15 stations each with fire and medical, that would be as close as the ones in the infield of a modern track is give or take. And some areas need very little attention because they are easy sections and therefore lower risk, and others more because they are more difficult sections more prone for someone to make a mistake. With modern equipment there would be no need for anywhere near 1000 people to have an acceptable response time.

Great "What if" video! I believe one key aspect was left out in the F1 comparison: fuel consumption is now limited on F1 power units, which in turn affects the top rev range and overall available power. A fairer comparison might ask, "What if F1 cars didn't have the fuel limitations?" It would be interesting to see if, with their current ground effects, they could beat the Porsche under those conditions.

So, what would the 919 EVO done in a simulation? The drivers still faced the constraints about dealing with the risks of the track as a real thing, which probably meant they weren't doing 100% over the full lap. A simulation run has the advantage of not facing the possibility of dying IRL if you make a mistake. The 919 EVO is also stuck with 2017 tire technology - current tires would probably be quicker. Regarding aero effects and suspension, there is more to the 'Ring than being bumpy. There are several spots on the circuit where the car goes airborne. That could be dicey with cars set up for a lot of ground effects downforce.

The biggest advantage of the Evo is its rapid acceleration to top speed. It reaches its top speed much quicker, and during the Nürburgring record run, the limiter was set at 369 km/h. I believe speed is the only edge it has over an F1 car, which leads me to think that the 2024 cars would still break the record with DRS activated. The ground effects on these versions are significantly improved compared to the 2022 models.

Did the 919 Evo not add skirts for ground effect as well? I think it did. - I think the 5:19 was probably not pushed to a theoretical 100% limit by Timo Bernhard (in fact I seem to have read somewhere it wasn't, but like 98-99%, so close) which would mean that car, and by extension (based on the Silverstone-Spa comparison) the ground effect F1 car, would lap a tad faster. I'd say somewhere between the theoretical 5:13-5:15 range from Red Bull and Sauber and the 5:19 that the Evo actually did.

F1 could be under 5 min a lap, not in the current form, but if it was actually part of thy race calendar. I'm sure the engineering teams would have a very specific upgrade package for such a track. however in it's current form it would be hard to break 5 min without a very specific upgrade package. Also let's be honest the ring could use a regrade and full pave as well likely affecting the F1 lap time taking away any advantage the more traditional chassis would have with maintaining down force on a inconsistent track surface.

These times are nothing compared to the theoretical time of a clapped out 1998 Honda Civic with a laptop. Simulations have shown the theoretical time to be projected around 5:01.961. There are concerns with this projected time not being accurate due to the passenger holding the laptop doesn't have an average weight in the calculations, and there wasn't an official decision made on whether or not a second passenger would be present to film on a phone. Other time variances included whether or not the windows were down so that the spectators could hear the sound system that was installed. A much more realistic projected theoretical time to was concluded to be around 5:09.186.

8:34 on an early-2000s car that is almost 20-something seconds slower (yes, slower) than the 2024 24h of Nurburgring pole position time, set by, ironically, a BMW m4 gt3 as Driver61 said though, while driving a sub-5 minute lap time of the nordschleife in an f1 car (approx ~6:00 in a contemporary gt3 car) is theoretically possible, it'll be very tough on the driver

All fair and square math, problem being: It is reasonably probable, that the 919 evo time will never be broken. Remember, that Timo Bernhard knows the ring better than almost anyone, it basically is his backyard. If you watch the onboard, you can see that he is driving that thing as hard as humanly possible. I don’t think that even with a faster car, you can push that much more.

I've raced some F1 cars around the Nordschleife virtually. Though it was the tourist version, which is a bit shorter, it still indicates how mental it can get, if risk of death is not a factor. Lap times below 5 minutes are pretty easy with the F2004.

The 2024 cars are faster than the 2011 and 2006 cars. Both those cars simulate lap times under 5:19. A big restriction for hybrid F1 cars is battery usage. If they stay limited to just 4 MJ per lap, that leaves a lot of lap time on the table. Of course there are only a handful of true straights that optimize battery deployment. You are right about ride heights and ground effects, but the Nordschliefe got repaved not long ago which took a lot of the bumps out. Also the 919 EVO has fixed side skirts to help generate a tremendous amount of DF from floor, and thus it's ride height and issues with bumps would be similar to a modern F1 car, though likely not as extremely. Computer Simulators are quite realistic these days and it's common to see 2017-2021 cars close to or below 5 mins, I have no doubt a 2024 car would go well below 5:19. Having said that, I maintain my belief the 919 EVO could have gone faster. There are a few spots it appeared to leave time, plus track conditions were likely not 100%. I'd be shocked of the EVO couldn't do a 5:15 or a bit faster.

I think that there's something important to add: no matter who drove the Porsche, this person isn't nearly as fast as an f1 driver, so that matters when it comes to spa, for example. Imagine what Max, Hamilton, Leclerc or Russell could have done with that car.

Its crazy to think a 'no limits' 919 is only a tad faster than an f1 car that has so many regs on what they can and cant do. It also answers the question that gets tediously brought up when the racing is dull that they should just let the designers do what they want. They would be doing 300mph and thats just round the corners. Silverstone crowds would need to be sat in Milton Keynes to watch it and 'aeroplane crashes' would be, only if you were lucky

I do wonder what would happen if the 919 Evo vs. a modern F1 car would be less apples and oranges. Basically an F1 team doing the same thing, where they toss the rulebook in the shredder and go nuts. Remove the fuel flow limiter, remove the DRS deployment limits, hybrid system whenever, no need to worry about 'the plank', and yes, fit softer suspension to deal with the bumps of the Nordschleife.

The 919 Evo was massively modified over the standard car and yet, according to projections, it would be slower than some standard F1 cars from the past 20 years. Which just shows how far ahead F1 cars are over top level prototypes in design, engineering and technical prowess, even much older F1 cars compared to a LMP1 car. When the LMP1 cars were racing, there was a lot of talk about how advanced and quick these cars were and yet they're nowhere close to a F1 car. As for laps times for a current F1 car around the Nordschleife, 5mins 23 is staggering considering the car would have no mods unlike the 919 Evo. If a current F1 car had the same modifications as the 919 Evo, I reckon the lap time would be well under 5 mins. And I still think a standard current F1 car would beat the 919 Evo with ease.

these cars are developed for different rulebooks, tracks and race legths. you can't compare their laptimes and use just that to draw conclusions about how well developed they are. look at the budgets spent on lmp1s. they were similar to those of f1 teams at the time. that buys you similarly skilled engineers earning similar pay, who are going to do a similarly good job of optimizing perfomance within their respective constraints. and in the end you get very different cars

I have done a 5:10.00 with the Ferrari F2004 on Assetto Corsa with soft tires and all electronic aids off. I have a video on my channel with the run. So a 5:10 - 5:20 is probably possible if there is a crazy enough driver to attempt the Green Hell in attack mode....why dont you try it out on a sim to get a ballpark time and show us the result?? You can calculate the percentage difference between reality and sim on Brands Hatch for which you have the lap record and apply the same correction factor on the simulated Nordschleife lap...that should give an accurate lap time (to within a few seconds or so) so we'll get a ballpark lap time...

well I think u forget one of the most important facts which is that the 919 evo gains its time on the straight. I guess u guys know the cpmarison video of the w11 919 and current f1 car in which the f1 cars massivley gain in the corners and los on the straights. With the nordschleife and all of its cornes the advantage will be on for f1 and i also dont think that a current f1 car would lose like 10 secs to an old on

Big issue as you said was the Porsche is was no rules car. Do that to an F1 also then see which is faster. But I would prob go with b4 ground effects for all the reasons you mentioned. And a no-holes-barred F1 around SPA, etc would demolish the Porsche. (I am a 100% Porsche fan BTW) but it would lose
