[@slckb0y65]

Clarkson once explained it, that's the difference between race driver and the normal humans. we never push to the limit cause we fear the consequences, but race driver manage to shut those limiters off, the idea of crashing never, ever cross their mind. also many are known to get into "the zone", meaning a state of concentration that is close to meditation giving them hyper awarness. their driving become as instinctive as breathing, their muscle memory do almost everything, they don't waste any time thinking about what to do in any situation. we can all think we're a good driver, but a rally/F1 pilot would just utterly crush 99.9% of us in a race, if only by sheer precision and consistency. those guys are a special breed, and deserve all the respect and admiration in the world.

[@Firemarioflower]

+Hauke G. So why is he not in F1? Forget young talent, get him to Scuderia Ferrari, NOW!!!

[@randomchannel-px6ho]

The craziest thing is that this lap could've been even faster, the driver himself admitted as such. Not because the driver made errors or didn't push the limits, it's simply that the human body's limits are below what the car was capable of... what a level of engineering we're at

[@DJDANNYPLEYADES01]

Absolutely agree, With a longer gear ratio could Reach 400 km/h at the straight

So a specific type of stronger human/body could set a better time? I wonder how the top F1 drivers would do in this car.

[@the4GIVEN]

​@@DJDANNYPLEYADES01with a longer Gear Ratio theyd lose accelaration. 30kmh more for Just the straight doesnt save enough time to decrease the accelaration.

[@girafaamazonica70]

​@@the4GIVENsome solutions are possible, one is just put the new jesko gear, or just use more modern eletric engine and battery to compensate the longer gear... With emotor the car can have 3000whp with the wheight of a 3 cil engine nowadays, and if the new superconductor is real the car will be capable of more than 10000whp with almost no significant wheight.

[@TheSummoner]

Andrea - Don’t get me wrong, Bellof’s result was and still is outstanding, but if they kept racing on the Nürburgring with Le Mans prototypes his record would have been beaten way sooner. Plus one has to take into account that there are two degrees of separation between the cars you mentioned and the 919 Evo, since the formers are a track version of a road car, while the latter is a race car further modified ignoring regulations.

It's like someone with a wrench helping the wheels spin faster than they can on their own. That's why hybrid technology is so powerful right now. The regular engines have less power at low revs, rise up, and then they drop down at high revs. Electric engines have the most power at low revs then it drops off the faster they spin, but they have immense torque at all times (man with wrench analogy).

better to redline it through that one straight than to risk losing valuable downforce for all the high speed turns of which there are many... I think Porsche know their stuff being that they physically cannot allow anyone to hold any kind of record in any class a Porsche car exists ever on this circuit. Just ask Lamborghini and Mercedes how many times they took the record only to see a further modified version of the GT3 RS or something along the lines take it back a few months later :D

[@munnypoltric]

[@Forgot10]

I believe this is actually a modified version of the 919, not the actual car that raced in WEC and 24h of Le Mans. Which would mean it's probably faster than what you've got in GT. However I still agree with you 100%.
