LAP RECORD! | Laguna Seca in  

They should do this oftenly

It is a thing of beauty, isn't it?

Nice

I agree.

Seconded

Did you not see the Ferrari pole lap at Spa? WEC have a video of it on RU-vid.

⁠@@eamonahern7495Ferrari RU-vid channel was also live-streaming the whole 6 hour race yesterday. It was beautiful.

WRC should take note too, 2024 onboards sound like they're from 2004.

Nah the camera angle is horrendous

I'm agree that WEC sound system (or their sound man) is pretty bad for 2024.

I noticed that as well, he was carrying so much speed, very impressive

Almost looked like he caught air.

Blink and you can miss it. Seriouly impressive.

His poor stomach must've been yanked every which way but loose.

He was on the throttle midway through the exit :)

So smart. Doesn’t make sense to upshift there sense hes right at the braking zone where he has to downshift. He’d have to downshift twice and unsettle the car more going into the high speed sweeper.

Just a little kiss.

that's how you know the right gears are in the box

​@benn454 now kith

@@incubrianwe only get two sets-Daytona, and everywhere else 😢

I hate NIMBYs that move next to tracks or airports and proceed to whine about something they knew about going in until they get their way. So crappy and selfish.

@@benn454 pretty sure he's not a nimby but a property developer/ real estate entrepreneur who wants to make a fortune on the track's land. but do your own research I watched a video a few months ago and don't remember it that well.

"Those neighbors" is one guy with an LLC. People aren't really that stupid, a lot of people around Laguna Seca are motorsports enthusiasts, or just don't care about a little occasional noise in the distance.

@@benn454 People who move into flight paths tend to be poor and not have choices. The area next to Laguna is very wealthy. No one moved there without knowing about and not being bothered by it.

Its crazy. They can absolutely cane it in the hi speed corners, and that last hairpin is like nothing. Its unbelievable.

What is your PB lap time and in what car under what conditions?

I, too, would love to know what a real local regular does lap time wise and in what car

@@N3rdburgring guess we'll never know :(

​@DeathMetalAsian obviously depends on the car and driver skill, but most regular people like us are in the 1:30-2:00's. My current best lap is a 1:44 in a 180hp Honda Civic, but I should be in the :30's this weekend 😊

Haha yeah right..

The Audi lap was an official lap record (set during a race) - this one with the Cadillac isn't.

Prime 2015-2020 LMP1 Hybrid like Audi R18 2016 / R18 e-tron quattro 2015, Porsche 919 Hybrid 2015-2017 or Toyota TS040 Hybrid 2015/ TS050 Hybrid 2016-2020 would blast the R10 by atleast 5 seconds of margin.

Audi R10 doesn't come close to the hybrid LMP1 such as the 919 or R18

Funny thing is it's actually the 08 LMP2s that have the lap record in the 1:10s because that was the era where LMP1 and 2 were pretty equal, just with the P2s having less power and less weight

@@arkeusalexander9054 even if those had wider tires back then...

In the WEC app it is actually 50fps…

@@aendoh Because European TVs.

I was very sad when Corvette switched to the flat plane cranks in the C8.R.

I do wish they would be able to spin them to 11-13k RPM or had an incentive to do so. They sound great now, but they can sound so much better just a tad higher up.

​@@barath4545Sadly I doubt there's incentive. I think the only reason they would do that is if they had to make the engine lighter by decreasing piston size, which would increase maximum RPM and (probably) decrease power. This engine revving to 11k would sound incredible though.

Limiter slap timestamp, bravo! 🤩

Not sure, but I think you might be right that WEC just has worst camera and mic quality than IMSA

Different microphone placement produces significantly different results. I’m not sure if BOP has a role to play in how it sounds, but on a purely audiotechnical level, the position of the microphone, along with the mounting mechanism for the microphone will influence the audio a lot. You can see this in Formula 1 where drivers come over the radio and the sound of the car from the cockpit is vastly different to the sound from the microphone atop the chassis. This is particularly noticeable in both the Ferraris and Red Bulls. I will say though that if it’s just a different engine/BOP thing that that would make sense (still new to IMSA and WEC so bare with me), but assuming things are relatively similar, the microphone position, quality, type, mounting and audio processing software would dictate the most differences in sound

@@dayaan3s632 It's definitely not BOP or a different engine. The IMSA mic quality/placement does this engine more justice. A lot of the WEC onboards sound very similar even comparing the V6 engines to this.

@@SwingAxleLover unsurprising. I’d have to see what the mics they’re using in both series are, but it’s definitely true that you get a throatier and more full sound from the IMSA mic. I will definitely still maintain that placement and supporting equipment is king because it's what determines sound profile more than mic quality when the positioning is as varied between the two series as it is, but it can't hurt to have a better mic producing much better sound. Whatever the case is, that Caddy can sing

Imsa like American Le Mans before it has always been about fans first. Then there's people like Marshall Pruett, who push for the best audio experience.

Thanks. I was wondering what the all Ike fastest lap was.

That was not an official lap record because it wasn't driven in a race. Only race laps count as official lap records.

@@Fastvoicethanks 👍🏻 a lot of people don‘t understand what is a lap record. On the NS the same. Naturally the lap from Timo Bernhard was crazy but Stefan Bellof drives his round in a race weekend.

@@marceljusten705 His 6:25.91 lap was indeed during a race. His 6:11.13 lap OTOH was "only" during free practice and didn't count officially.

@@Fastvoice Official or not, it was still set, and you can even watch a video of it on RU-vid.

Bro f1 v8 sound like this but have a Rev limit on 8000 to 9500 rpm

@@Unknown-3455gamer F1 hasn't run a V8 for years. They run twin-turbo V6s.

@@TheBuelliganRidesI’m mean it Rev to 19000rpm to 20000 rpm look at costworth v8 on the engine dyno

I really hope the Andretti - Cadillac F1 entry will battle through the bull of F1 establishment teams and old boys club, I’d love to see what they might be able to accomplish on track. I’m certain the first few years would be a bit difficult, but they at least deserve a chance to compete.

Like other drivers don't do the same

​@@frederickcolaire5367did any other drivers set wr's?

honestly, it was probably more down to his braking than his curb usage. he was also extremely good at rotating the car under acceleration, as well, to point him at the exit sooner. curb usage was more a side effect rather than the point, though.

Who?

Du Du Du Du, Max Verstappen 3x F1 Champion, won 19 of 22 season races last year. ​@@randygravel2057

@@randygravel2057 You know exactly who that is lmao😂😂

⁠@@UnknownSpots6I think he might be a sim racer

no, I don't think he's driving a Newey Rocket here...

Amen brother.

Earl Bamber really misjudged that move, almost careless in his driving style.

Back in the good ol’ days
