Luckydaff Report post Posted June 29, 2018 To me, this record is not as impressive as Bellof's in 1983. But two things about this lap are stuck in my head. 1: The 919 Evo did 340 km/h in Qiddelbacher Höhe! That's 40 km/h faster than the production car record-holder managed. 2: If Bellof and Bernhard were to start their respective record runs at the same time, Bellof would cross the line when Bernhard in the 919 Evo was in Qiddelbacher Höhe again ... Hats off to ze germans! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fortis Report post Posted June 29, 2018 That’s absolutely insane, how does one have the balls to drive that fast ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackhorner Report post Posted June 29, 2018 Average speed of 234kph is utter ridiculous. I've been over to drive the track on two occasions and I was more than happy to drive low nine minutes. Go drive the track to get a sense of how fast low five minutes is. It's almost not comprehensible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griza Report post Posted June 29, 2018 As insane as the 919 is, the skill of that driver is from another planet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smash Boy Report post Posted June 30, 2018 368 kph/229 mph top speed drag/gear limited near the end..... What really stuck out with me is some of these longer sweeping corners take a while to traverse in normal Ring videos, this thing just flies right through them. And of course the sheer acceleration to hit unreal speeds all over the track....numerous times it hit 300 kph before having to slow down. Unreal, love it.

Smash Boy Report post Posted June 30, 2018 That’s absolutely insane, how does one have the balls to drive that fast ? These guys have been acclimatized to high speeds for most of their life, plus the top LM and F1 cars have so much more grip and braking power, it's all relative. Seen through the lens of a normal car, those are indeed suicidal speeds!! Having said that, there's a screw loose in almost every elite racer. I think Niki Lauda is the only guy who sees this stuff the way we do (or at least that's how he was portrayed in Rush) As insane as the 919 is, the skill of that driver is from another planet. That’s crazy. Absolutely insane. It looks sped up. The Eau Rouge corner at Spa is considered the corner of all corners in the F1 season to test balls.....and here's a look at the speed difference between F1 and normal cars: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDADDY Report post Posted June 30, 2018 That’s absolutely insane, how does one have the balls to drive that fast ? Downforce . When mechanical grip is at the limit , downforce takes over . The faster you go, the more you sucked down , that is why slow speed corners always an issue with how downforce cars . Spectacular lap Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

derphurf Report post Posted June 30, 2018 I hope this makes it to Pikes Peak next year to smash the record. Imagine the acceleration with lower gearing :0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanMan Report post Posted July 1, 2018 If any of you guys play Forza, try driving the 919 on the Nurburgring. I hit a 6:05 no problem with that car and it just hugs the fcuking ground. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
