Braking from 300kph looks so brutal!

[@Marc1d1Rose]

SpeedFreak0122 Because it doesn't have that much downforce in front.

[@Jvdx]

That 'twitching' on the breaking would make my palms sweaty. Exciting stuff, looks like an amazing time to drive!

[@hunter-fx7ry]

What a beast！And also brilliant driving！

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

How you haven't got a million subs I do not know? Amazing as always fella 👍

[@TheDatpussy]

Peak Performance Reviews everybody starts off slowly

[@PeakPerformanceReviews]

True,True, this guy has access to great content. one day i hope we'll be able to get cars like this for our reviews also. take a look at our channel if you have time McMuffinFluffin =D.

[@TheTripol]

Man would love to drive these things in real life, good stuff man!

[@halsebastian2287]

0:35 man went from 300-100 in 3 sec

[@canudeiro]

What an awesome channel ! I could have found it earlier ! Subbed !

[@AlexanderWest]

glad you like it. new season starting soon

[@DJSt3rling]

impressive braking! I admire how you use every inch of the track to carry speed.

[@semih_gedik]

Please more with P1 GTR!

[@conor1423]

These vids are amazing. Pls come to Infineon soon

[@MrNicks27]

Great video!

[@TAEbot]

Which do you like more P1 or FXX K? Keep these videos coming... Thanks!

[@AlexanderWest]

Love them both, they are both fantastic but rather different. will never publicly discuss which one is "better" as i think that is a moot point, except to say that a 488GT3 or 650sGT3 are both faster around a track than these two...

[@srinitaaigaura]

When you say they handle differently, can you describe the feel?

[@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797]

@@AlexanderWest what about high speed tracks? Can these cars make use of the massive power to be faster than the gt3 cars

[@KToMmi]

​@@albertweedsteinthethuggeni7797 Please don't laugh at me, if you know a little bit about it you'll know I'm not talking complete bullshit, but... I drive on Assetto Corsa and I've been driving Spa with an FXX-K for a while. I actually even reached the third fastest lap in the world - oh actually someone did better in the meanwhile and I'm now 4th - as you can check on the timetables at RSR Live Timing. The record for the 488 GT3 is 2:14, while the FXX-K is able to reach 2:12. So yeah, on fast enough tracks the huge power differential can make up the lack of downforce. In Monza the situation gets even worse, with more than 6 seconds of difference (1.39:7 against 1.46:3).

[@leungkody]

You are an awesome driver and I love your videos. Just wondering if the p1 gtr is hard to control with all that power whilst not being heavy.

[@srinitaaigaura]

Amazing how late you can brake into a corner. I seriously thought that the car couldn't shed the speed in time, but it did!

[@marc-antoinetiselli9971]

What a drive !

[@LewisRacing90]

Nice!

[@romano_9]

Is there a kind of DRS System?

[@AlexanderWest]

yes the button i press with my left thumb, reduces the wing, the right one is for the IPAS (extra power). I normally have full power on all the time, but with the extreme heat at Bahrain we were trying to save the batteries from overheating by only using them on the straights. this is why this would be the only video you would see me use the right thumb as well ;)

[@ilketama5982]

is normal p1 has full power everytime too or you have to press ipas?

[@FEGTTTSDH]

no you have the ipas button too

[@ivansaintslebon]

i'm so jealous. that's my favourite car. it is hard to control 1000cv?? (i mean from the point of a pro driver, not by a road driver ) however you are an awesome driver

[@AlexanderWest]

Slicks makes it easier on some level than the road car. any car with more than 5-600bhp needs to be treated with respect coming out of corners otherwise it is not that hard

[@ivansaintslebon]

Alexander West thanks ;)

[@denniskwok7613]

Alex, do you think that the P1GTR should have been engineered to produce more downforce, or do you think that this would take away from the adjustability of the car? The P1GTR has huge amounts of power, but to my eyes it looks to be slightly frustrating in not being able to carry more speed into the apex of the corners.

[@AlexanderWest]

like most road car based track toys (599XX, FXX K and the P1 GTR, 650 Sprint, 458 Challenge to name a few) they are low downforce cars (compared to a GT3). it makes them easier to drive and more forgiving as they loose traction in a more predictable way. It has taken me some time to get used to GT3 cars, it is a very different driving style and technique. Long way of saying that yes I wish it had more downforce, but i think the majority of drivers of any of these are coming from road cars, so this is still a big step up, and also a familiar one

[@denniskwok7613]

Alexander West Thanks for the detailed reply Alex!

[@M6togone1019]

To much curb on entry to the turns. Love your videos! More FXXK!

[@AlexanderWest]

Anthony Jackson I would disagree with that. turns at Bahrain ate very forgiving

[@M6togone1019]

Just seems like the car was losing traction under braking because of the curbs upon entry

[@XYZ-km9kg]

Too* much curb. I'm sure Alexander appreciates the arm-chair driving tips.

[@denniskwok7613]

The car looks to be perfectly stable under braking while using the kerbs, with no pulling evident and no line correction required. Coming off the kerbs and turning into the corner, the car still looks fine with minimal rear-end instability. F1 cars are able to use the Bahrain kerbs under braking just fine and they run a far higher roll stiffness and are way more pitch sensitive than the P1GTR.

[@M6togone1019]

X YZ thanks for the grammar correction buddy!!!

[@prostockgermany]

Best lap time? Would you tell us pls?

[@AlexanderWest]

1.59.4, track was extremely hot, so pretty sure it would be 2 secs faster in mid December or January

[@prostockgermany]

wow, that's fast anyway... With that lap time you could run midfield FIA-WEC LMGTE

[@AlexanderWest]

little bit depending on the BOP, the GTR is around 2 secs slower than a GT3 car. and the WEC GTE cars are prett similar to to GT3 these days

Can I have your life, please? I can only dream...
