My Brain Can Barely Keep Up With This Car

[@u-wot-n8]

Fun Fact: the 919 Evo had auto-upshift. The revs climbed so fast that the drivers couldn't keep up with the upshifts, so they had a mode that they had programmed to command perfect upshifts every time while the MGUs are deploying.

[@mushter17]

2000s F1 cars had that too for the same reason

[@aspecreviews]

It also had brake-actuated torque vectoring, based on a track map of the circuit it was running on.

Porsche basically took an endurance racer and turned it into the ultimate time attack weapon, and I love them for it.

[@АлексейКастевич]

Yeah, have never even dreamed of that seriously happening before it actually happened...

[@hiramesensei3112]

not to take anything away from them but a completely unrestricted F1 car engineered specifically for time attack at the Ring would demolish the Evo's time which doesn't say anything about the respective series, it's just a matter of "having near unlimited money and no rules"

[@CaliHime]

Imagine going into a corner with mach 2 and thinking to yourself; "I could have braked LESS there..."

[@leoaraujo8590]

if somehow I was put behind the steering wheel of this car, I would not be able to trust that it can just attack corners at these speeds.

I know i am late but: thats basically what was the case during the record run with this car. The driver said that there was quite some potential in the car to be quicker but he just wasn't physically capable. Absolutely bonkers

[@galarianmike283]

I remember reading an account from the driver about either the 'Ring lap or Spa lap (think it was Timo Bernhard), and he said that the lap was more limited by what his own body was capable of rather than what the car could do. Thing's fast.

[@virtualpaddock]

That was Neel Jani actually, talking about the Spa lap.

[@DropkickNation]

I always called BS on that one. Both guys were killing it in their hot laps. I highly doubt that there was much more in it. Maybe a second or two, but not more.

[@oblied]

@@ragemode7336 i dont believe it because the 919 doesnt pull more G's then an F1 car and F1 drivers are still going faster. but it might be the difference in training

[@BlackEnglishmen]

Never forget. The driver admitted that there was so much more time in the car, but the Gs were too severe for a human to endure. That’s the fastest a trained and experienced race car driver could go while seeing black at the corner of his vision. The bleeding edge of cars

[@wiegraf9009]

Yeah I don't think we'll see the time beat unless there's another car that can go even faster on the straights

[@abadenoughdude300]

Yeah when you look at the in-cockpit cam in the video and how he's tumbling all over the place while being strapped firmly in his seat, it's terrifying. The G's in corners are one thing, but with how bumpy the track is to go all out at those speeds takes balls as heavy as a neutron star.

[@ragemode7336]

thats not true the driver did a podcast where he talked about how there was only little more time left in the car(1-2 seconds). Its basically and internet myth that he could have been much faster.

It was a tenth off the outright record, which is held by Driver61, Scott Mansell, in a '97 Benetton, even with all those issues. Not quite a record but they were also doing an exhibition run, not a full send quali lap. Engineers said it had 1-2 seconds in it easy if they optimized for one glory run.

[@jsteer]

What a legend Timo. Not as famous as he should be

[@highlightshadow]

As much as it's insane to see you do this in a sim -- it just blows my mind to smithereens that a human can put a car like that round a track like the ring with almost no margin for error and with life and limb on the line.... i just do not know how people like that can exist. Talent beyond extremes

Even using a controller and on a 15 inch screen, the feeling of speed was unbelievable. I need to try again on my new Desktop with this fantastic new car. :D

[@VestedUTuber]

Honestly, I wish there was a "no rules" class. Not like _actual_ no rules but just no performance limits. You're allowed to do whatever you want as long as you're not running a death trap or something that's literally wider than the track itself, or running weapons. I know we technically had that with Group B Rally and we do with hill climbing, but those are different environments to a prepared course. Plus, those rulesets still require vehicles to have wheels and conventional wheel-driven drivetrains. I'm talking about creating a class with jet engines, ground effect vehicles (downforce, hovercraft or ekranoplans), any number of wheels, any vehicle layout, open, closed or no wheels, just... go crazy. Doesn't have to be competitive, and honestly I think it would be best off as an exhibition class.
