MnM Report post Posted September 17, 2014 There are some rumors going around, but the reality is there are people backing out of their P1 orders as they go down the list, and others are taking their spots. People who really want one and are fully ready to pony up are going to get one...at sticker. Lol c'mon. This is nonsense. I'll buy all the P1's you can find me at sticker. Please. I'm ready to pony up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treynor Report post Posted September 17, 2014 It's ok, Treynor in the P1 should do enough. Kris has been talking a bit too much smack for it to be a real "friendly" competition. Oh, I don't know - Kris's posts appear to be tongue in cheek, he clearly loves cars and is enthusiastic about his (gorgeous!) rides. That's not a bad thing in my book. I consider ours a friendly race, and I am looking forward to it regardless of outcome. For those not familiar with Sonoma Raceway, it has many different configurations which makes it challenging to compare laptimes from day to day. However, here's the layout we'll probably be using: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PCJR Report post Posted September 17, 2014 add one to that list I wish I bought a P1 when I had the chance, I hear they are 500k over list now and climbing. Someone in my area was offered 3 mill for their p1. My buddy was at the dealership when it went down. Owner declined offer!

However, here's the layout we'll probably be using: Yea! I live 20 minutes from Infineon, I will certainly be attending if I can. IMO Sonoma offers a huge advantage to the P1, its short gearing/DCT will help it rocket out of turn 7 and 11 and the high downforce will be needed throughout the rest of the course. The elevation changes and corner banking/lack thereof will favor a high downforce car. I've been around several times before, the course is like a goddamn rollercoaster.

TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted September 17, 2014 It'd be cool to get the /Drive guys to film this and have Chris Harris drive all the cars. One driver setting laps. Whoever loses has to donate to charity. OR they bet based on baseline laps of their own and Harris has to beat them. Every tenth under = $10,000 donated.

VBUGKING Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Lol c'mon. This is nonsense. I'll buy all the P1's you can find me at sticker. Please. I'm ready to pony up. Im not in the business of selling cars. I have been offered slots on a couple occasions at sticker. These were not cars on the ground. I didn't pursue them because I have no interest in owning the P1. Its a fantastic vehicle, but I prefer the 918 and the 50th Aventador roadster. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Ill give Kris a call and see if he is open to the idea. If it happens I hope to see you at the race I look forward to meeting up! If this race materializes it will be tons of fun regardless of the outcome or what it proves or doesn't prove. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBUGKING Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Probably because Kris doesn't consider the Agera street legal, the Veyron SS is an "old" car, and the 918's AWD could give drivers with presumed regular skills an advantage. By that I mean its easier to drive a AWD car fast versus a RWD one. Mostly correct, besides the Veyron part. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supercar Ace Report post Posted September 17, 2014 Do you really believe a non US Spec car would change the outcome of this race? If so I have ocean front property in North Dakota to sell you. Depends on the car...I don't know if there a difference in US Spec vs Euro Spec for the P1 or La-Ferrari (especially on the emissions systems). Overall I personally don't think it's a big deal and it's not my race, but I still see the validity in making the event US Spec only. And you lost my interest at "Dakota"...

Blacksun Report post Posted September 17, 2014 So is this about Kris driving Huayra or Veneno? He would be driving the Huayra. He has stated many times that he will never track the Veneno. Kris is the most passionate person I know regarding cars. I don't speak to him as much as as Vbugking, but in some sort of fashion, I speak to him daily. He is more excited than a two year old opening his first birthday present, however it is absolutely not about throwing money up or gaining for financial reasons. I hope it happens as well, as this would be an exciting and fun event to see go down. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_ Report post Posted September 17, 2014 US spec cars have red side markers, and red makes the car go faster, since red is a faster color Well shit, can't argue with that logic. But in all honesty, it would be awesome if they got Webster in the 'egg out there, even if Kris doesn't consider it street-legal. I completely understand his reasoning, but personally I agree with whatever the NHTSA says. Many cars (such as the Murcielago, F430, Lotus Elise/Evora) aren't street legal under his definition. But back to the topic, why not see if they can get a 650S/Aventador out there? That would be a cool comparison to the Huayra.
