@@KaushikBala333 Not possible, 6:15 is already too low for road legal tires

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

​@@myusername3689 It's not suspension so much as it is ground effect. The car has too much exposed floor that will be easily unsealed as it goes over all the bumps and uneven surfaces. The car will end up losing downforce in too many areas of the track. It could probably do a lap if it was conservative, like maybe 6:40 but to push as hard as on a conventional circuit risks expensive damage.

[@keithyounce8807]

@@axlhangoover4686 Yes, I was surprised at how 'slowly' they took Copse, Maggots, and Becketts. It's an unbelievable 'road car', but any suggestion that is is anywhere near as fast as an F1 car, even a 35 year old one, is nonsense. They had to have lost 10 seconds, by comparison, from the entrance of Copse to the exit of Becketts. Still, I feel sure it is the fastest 'road car' ever produced because of the extreme aero.

Obviously they would drive it to the limit what are you on about. It's the company's record car ofc they are not gonna hold back,they are going to extract every inch of time here. By your logic then even f1 drivers shouldnt push their cars to the limit becoz they are much more expensive than the Valkyrie. Stupid logic man​.

[@alpacaman6256]

Great lap - not sure why manufacturers don't disclose the driver name. The upshifts seem a bit slow, although I remember from an interview that it's just the torque fill from the electric motor and it's actually still going up in speed.

[@kinetik9197]

upshifts are slow because its single clutch i think

[@Nichaansama]

They have mentioned clearly on their website : DARREN TURNER

[@SaWuDOHC]

the amg 1 does these slow ass shifts too

[@PaganiKoenigsegg1]

Its because almost all dual clutch has a torque/power rating that is surpassed by this coswroth engine, the amg is similar they use a sequential dog gear gearbox, similar to the whiny gearboxes from a gt3/mp2/lmp1 race cars. Its not necessarily single clutch but its similar so thats why its slower

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

It's not because of DCT at all. It's actually using a racing single SAT/AMT, much like the AMG One but electrified rather than the hydraulic system in the AMG One. The reason it's slow, is deliberately, to keep the drivetrain from propelling you into a wall or back of another car when in slow moving traffic or parking. As racing powertrains tend to be a bit more sensitive and flighty than a traditional road car, to compromise, the transmission is actually set up, to gimp shifts a bit.

[@alexure21]

the 330 km/h in the straight is so fkng crazy.

[@DanielSilva-fy6bo]

I don’t want to sound like a meat rider but this car was on Cup 2s (not cup 2 r) the track was slightly wet, and it didn’t have the AMR track pack, it definitely has a couple more seconds in it

[@MikeJoseph1190]

More than a couple. The car is capable of producing 4,000 lbs of downforce with the track pack, but a dedicated slick is needed. Cup 2/Cup 2R’s can’t handle the aerodynamic load so the active aero bleeds downforce at speed. This car is simply too advanced for any road tire. Tire manufacturers can’t keep up with the progress of hypercars, it’s interesting. Making a tire for the road demands and the track is no small feat.

This shows just how fast an F1 car is. This did a 1.56, Russell’s pole time this year was 1.25. Even if you got Max, Lewis or Charles or George to drive this Valkyrie, they would probably go faster than 1.56, but it would still be slower than the F1 car by at least 20 seconds

There’s no way your extracting seconds more out today this lap on road tyres, even if max or Charles was in the car you’d maybe get 6 or 7 tenths push 1 second and even so, they might not be able to extract that, but that was a stellar lap, be nice to see it in race spec

This is the sort of silverstone time one could get with that car in the sim. Seeing it in real life is insane. And it's not on slicks is it? Want to see what this thing can do on soft slicks that are properly up to temp.
