Just so everyone knows, out of the top 15 best lap times in Nurburgring, 9 of them were done in Porsches, and 4 of them were in Manthey cars

[@Salmon4lif3]

Yea, Porsche always been on the top of the list for track cars 👍🏻

As good as Porsche is with suspension and especially the correct geometry for the job at hand. They definitely are lacking in interior

Mr JWW love your channel, discovered you during the last GumBall. Specifically prior to it when you were spending time with Damon and Dave from DDE. Funny I had first seen Shmee 150 and followed him on Gumball where I saw you and DDE. Since I have watch you and DDE much more than Tim. Tim has his lane and you have yours. And of course DDE went the way of Ken Block to find their lane. I love the way you are heading with both of your channels and I really learned to appreciate and now love DDE. In your humble refined opinion what do you think of the shade Tim sent DDE’s way at Gumball? It doesn’t seem like it has worked it’s way out. Maybe you could mediate a truce between them during Monterey Car week?? Just a suggestion, I appreciate your gentlemanly style in this crazy exotic car games. I have watched all of your new stuff and now I am going back and watching older posts. Thank you

@Bezos-cp9gk 🤣😆😂

[@kronkite1530]

I’ve watched countless ‘Ring laps; Misha’s channel, Apex, amateur posters and records by Porsche, Mercedes, Renault, Hyundai etc. but I’ve never heard throttle application like this?! It really struck me as sounding so different, let alone looking at the (excellent) graphics. Is it the engine response, car characteristics or driving style? Go back and have a listen (even; eyes shut?) and see if others get it! What a car. What a team. What a channel! 🎉🎉🎉

[@kronkite1530]

@Bezos-cp9gk Oh, shut up. Proselytising is so 19th Century! BTW, sorry to break it to you, chap (though if you wake up it might save a wasted life hoping and building for what isn’t there) but not only is there NO evidence for your Allah, ever (no, claims and books by men are not evidence!) but Mohammed would be the last person I’d point to, to encourage others. A lying, child abusing, murderous brigand and charlatan. Worthy of praise and respect? Hell, no!

[@spdcrzy]

It's probably a combination of multiple things. 1) Naturally aspirated Porsche engines have basically ZERO torque. The 4L flat 6 makes 331 lb-ft of wheel torque at a peak of 6750RPM. This means you need to wring their necks out to get any performance, but it also means you can apply full throttle all the time and almost NEVER break the rear tires loose. For comparison, the C8 Z06 engine makes more than 400lb-ft at the rear wheels from 3500RPM ALL the way up to 7500RPM. And so the Z06 requires a much more precise right foot. 2) The GT3RS is rear-engined, but the GT4RS is mid-engined. Better weight distribution also equals being able to go full throttle more easily. 3) This has even MORE downforce than the GT4 does - which ALSO means you can go wide open any time you want without breaking traction. 4) Full gas pedal =/= physically wide open throttle body, depending on the mapping of the engine. You could be foot to the floor but the mapping might be set to 90% max open. 5) Porsche factory racing drivers - Jorg Bergmeister (the one who drove this particular lap), Kevin Estre, and others - have a well-deserved reputation for going literally 110% on the track, all the time. If you look at the 919 Evo video, it's the same there too. So this lap doesn't surprise me in the least.

[@Siatkowkarzadzi]

​@@spdcrzywhat do you mean by "basically zero torque"? I don't get it, how's that possible?

[@lukelaw8981]

@@Siatkowkarzadzi It's not literally 0 torque, 331 is still a lot to a layman, but for a performance car, this figure is quite low for peak torque. I basically get the same from my decade and a half old stock mustang, and with the downforce, suspension, and weight distribution of the gt4rs, that torque really isnt gonna give u any trouble except on the launch, and even then its very negligible. There is basically zero torque, because its not something youre having to tip toe around when driving it.

For those wondering - This is about the 22nd fastest lap by a production car. Lap Record is 6:30.705

[@CLSTRN911]

No it’s not because it’s the MR version here and a lot of previous laptime with older cars were done on the 20.6km and not 20.8km like now. On 20.6km this car did 6:58 ( and 7:03 on the 20.8km ) and so if we talk about PRODUCTION car it’s the 15nd fastest ! Just between the 488 pista ( 7:00 on 20.8km ) and the Viper ACR ( 7:01 but on the 20.6km so the cayman is faster by 3s )

[@TonicofSonic]

Shame on GT7 for not including Monthey as a manufacterer.

[@Cloxxki]

By the minimum corner speeds it looked a lot faster than 7m03. Is so much time lost on the straights? It seemed to pull more than fine, I even wonder whether new aero bits helped the engine breathe better at speed. 7th gear looks useless almost. Does it make more sense in Autobahn cruising at normal speeds? 6 seconds faster with the MR kit sure is significant!

[@rofhiwamuthivha3159]

I think there's a bit more time to be gained. At some parts he was a not fully on it so I'm hoping by the time developments are done there will be improvement on the time.

[@Cloxxki]

@@rofhiwamuthivha3159 Indeed, some slower corners just didn't seem totally committed. The high speed stuff, where less time is gained or lost, seemed pretty good. MIght also be a chassis that relies a lot of the improved downforce, doesn't quite have the best mechanical grip? Will such further developments then also be part of the customer kits? None installed yet?

[@Schmitzelhaus]

Maybe you´re thinking of a standard BTG time as most people run. The BTG runs are about 1.5 km shorter than the Porsche did here. But conditions didn´t seem to be ideal as well with some wet parts, but not sure. Just a thought. 😉

[@Cloxxki]

@@Schmitzelhaus I am not confused with BTG. I have seen full laps in record attempts and the minimum speeds as they appear on the speedo we more typcially see with cars way sub 7 full lap. I may be delusional :-D

[@MalcomMcLeod]

For a spot of context is that a good time?

[@mr1983]

Lol just what I was thinking 😂

[@DamienC89]

This is about the 22nd fastest lap by a production car. Lap Record is 6:30.705

[@mr1983]

Also for context…. In the standard GT4 RS Jörg Bergmeister, Porsche brand ambassador and development driver, lapped the 20.832-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7 minutes 9.3 seconds. That’s just 9.4 seconds off the time of the 991 GT3 (992 generation). As for comparisons to the lap time of the GT4, the RS lapped the slightly shorter 20.6km version of the track 23.6 seconds faster.

[@rajasashtikar7705]

It’s to test and guarantee that a small car is still fully safe enough for grandma to go to the shops in, with a small child as passenger, in case of hazards such as bumpy roads or oddly cambered corners. Porsche delegate some Due Diligence on casual and domestic road use to MR.
