whats the traction control situation?

[@carscoffeeandcannabis-634]

Fanstastic content, loved watching this. I did want to ask: Is the EVo really a big enough upgrade from the "regular" FXX K to justify the price difference? I know it has more aero, but isn't it like a Million $ + more than the normal FXX K? Also, as a buyer of these cars (the only buyer who ever would respond to us normal plebs, which makes you mighty cool in my eyes), what's the draw towards these track only hypercars? I understand, even with almost double the horsepower, road cars like the LaFerrari are compromised to be more compliant and accessible, and when combined with road tires, it makes sense that they would be slower around a track than GT3 cars. But these "uncompromised", track only hypercars with slicks still apparently have less grip than GT3 cars (according to Chris Harris), and their lap times are similar or slower. So why spends 5-10x as much on a track only hypercar vs buying a GT3 car? I don't expect you to respond, but I, and I assume others, really would love to hear some insight. I get buying a Hypercar, that is a monster on the track, but you can also take for a Sunday cruise on a B road. But if you are spending a fortune on a track only car, that is ouperformed by race cars at a much lower price point, what's the point? They still seem a bit compromised. I'll add that the Senna GTR, after seeing it's Goodwood run, and hearing the bangs, rattles and vibrations seems like the exception; it seems like that car made VERY few compromises and is far closer to an actual GT Race car than the P1 GTR or FXX K

[@AlexanderWest]

i race a GT3 car, and while it is a couple of seconds quicker around a track, it is slow.... A GT3 car with lots of downforce, means you can take a corner at a higher minimum speed, and then you "only" have 500bhp for acceleration. while a FXXK, you will be slower in the corner and then you have a 1000bhp, so the sense of acceleration is much greater. I love racign, but it is sometimes hard work, in one of these you just go out for a track day on great tracks with some great people. Personally i dont get road cars on the track. if you think one of these XX cars is compromised on the track vs a GT3 or LMP car, you are right, but a road car on road tyres, road suspension is multiples of that. and yes the Senna GTR seem to be the least compromised of the track car, i.e. most race car like. which can make it the best or the worst of them depending on your view. because if it really is like a race car, then why not buy a 720GT3, run it unrestricted (no BoP) for a fraction of the cost of a Senna GTR.... and for the people that will convert their Senna GTR to road cars and pose at cars and coffe, i dont really know what to say

[@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797]

@@AlexanderWest according to mclaren the senna gtr will set the quickest lap times of any mclaren other than formula 1, maybe it can do the nordschleife in 6:15?

[@AlexanderWest]

@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 i would be shocked if it wasnt the quickest. that is a very low bar, an 825bhp car on slicks and active aero being quicker than a 500 bhp car on slicks (650sGT3). the question though is will it be quicker than say an unrestricted 650Gt3 or 720GT3 (i.e. a proper race car with 600-650BHP). it should be but not sure it will.

Thanks for the upload. Just wondering about hugging the ripple strips on the hairpin rather than entering wide and taking a late apex? Please ignore if a dumb question ! Cheers. I have no idea who you are :) New sub !

[@AlexanderWest]

in a higher downforce car that would probably make sense. in a road car or a lower downforce car like the FXXK, you are grip/traction limited out of a corner. SO it is probably better to V the curve, brake late, try to hit the inside apex and let the car go a little bit wide and slow it down so that you can do a sharp turn and be aiming straight(ish) as quickly as possibly so that you can get on power. i didnt really do a good job on that on either of the laps (basically hit the brakes too soon...)

Alexander West, what times were you doing, cannot see from the dashboard? Compared to GT3 cars, twices less power with times around 1.58.

[@AlexanderWest]

my fastest was a 2.02, BUT and here comes the excuses ;), full tank, No hybrid for half the lap (HVB failure), i dont drive the FXXK that much as my wife drives it and i jump between 3 cars, so plenty of areas for improvement. braked too early in the the hairpin, could carry more speed through schumacher curves etc. i think a 2.00 flat or possibly a high 1.59 would be possible. a GT3 car weighs 300kg less (at least), has significantly more downforce and depending on which championship might be running on michelins instead of pirellis
