NASCAR Fan Reacts to Nurburgring Lap RECORD - Porsche 919 EVO 

Porsche literally said "how fast could we make a car if there was a racing series that had no rules?" Then they took that train of thought and built the 919 EVO. The driver being able to tame such a beast on a track like the nordschliefe is absolutely mind melting.

Sabine Schmitz was the queen of the ring. She set a time a whisker over 8 minutes in a ford sierra when she was 19. This beast I would have loved Sabine to drive but she passed not too long ago.

The greatest thing (besides this insane lap-time) is the fact, that Porsche contacted Stefan Bellof's family (the man who set the record at 6:11 min in May 1983 - during a race!) and asked if it would be okay if they attempt to break Stefan's record. That is some good sport right there!

You may see that this was quick, but unless you haven't driven on the "Nordschleife" one will never understand what this laptime means, what an insane level of skill is needed to be able to achieve this.

"It's almost like a Formula 1 car..." For a minute in 2018, this car was faster than an F1 car. Porsche beat Lewis Hamilton's 2018 F1 pole time with this car at Spa. There's videos of both laps side by side.

For me personally one of the most amazing things is that these beasts can run reliably at pace in a 24h race, which is essentially a whole season worth of F1 racing rolled into a single race.

The cornering speed of this car is so unreal it feels like you're watching a timelapse. But even more impressive is the skill of the driver. Absolutely mental.

Honestly, you would be more ‘speechless’ when you see this track and drive it for real. It’s crazy, then you would have a real understanding how mental fast this is

Everyone seems to concentrate on the capabilities of the 919 EVO…but the driving skills are work here are unbelievable. Anyone who went around the Nürburgring knows that there are a lot of g-forces, wildly varying curves, bumps - you name it…and this driver is hammering it relentlessly…fantastic and scary!

His average speed was 233,8 km/h 145,28 mph, the top speed reached 368 km/h 228,66 mph.

All the best from Germany and thanks for your comments in the video. German Engineering. 🙂💪 + It`s just unbelievable what Timo has done. Nürburgring? please take a look at - Sabine Schmitz (R.I.P. 2021) - She was the "Queen of the Ring" with more than 30 000 (!) laps and died in the age of 51. Sorry for my Spam, but she was an Ikon. I will honor her here a little bit.

5:47 This car broke the Formula 1 track record at Spa-Francorchamps around the same time this Nürburgring track record. In April of 2018 it ran 1:41.7 at Spa with Neel Jani at the wheel breaking Lewis Hamilton's pole time of 1:42.553 from 2017. In August of 2018, the fastest three F1 cars broke the 919's lap record, but by less than a second.

never mind the speed he is going, the *confidence you got to have* to tackle most of the corners with speed is just mind blowing

It actually is faster because it has no restrictions like F1 does. They went all out to see whats possible. Question is... how fast would F1 car be without restrictions ? And who would have the balls to drive it.

Not only was this car faster than F1 cars at the time. Timo is also an amazing driver and an absolute specialist for Nürburgring, having clocked thousands and thousands of laps there, and having won the 24 hour race at Nürburgring 5 times (and LeMans 2 times). Its why Porsche picked him to do this.

Americans: “you need a big V8 to go fast” Porsche: “hold my 2L V4”

The 919 has beaten Hamilton's Pole Lap of 2017 in Spa by 0,8seconds.The old Green Hell Record of 6:11minutes was set by the German Stefan Bellof in 1983 in a Porsche 956.1985 he had a deadly ecciden in Spa after colliding with Jacky Ickx in the Eau Rouge Corner

very cool car, very cool video. but what brings me more joy than the video itself is seeing your enthusiasm, your respect, your joy. just kind, decent, respectful, down to earth and content. The world would really be a nicer place if all people were like you. stray as you are bro.

Thanks for this video! Having seen this multiple times since 2018, it was very fun and exiting to watch it again on here with your first time reaction :)

...and from a tiny 2 litre, 4 cylinder engine...to think it ran practically flatout for 24 hours (LeMans) and won. Insane engineering by Porsche.

To put that time into some context: When GT3 racecars lap the Nordschleife and they arrive at the carousel (the banking) at around the 5 min. mark, it's considered to be a great lap. You enter the carousel after 2/3 of a lap. This guy completed the entire lap in that time!

Hello, I'm Chris from Germany. A few days ago I found a video in which someone interviewed the driver (Timo Bernhard) of the Nordschleife record. Here is the video: "JP Performance - Technology Talk with Timo Bernhard" The impressive thing about the video is the fact that the two talk about so many details about what Porsche did to get the car to this level of performance. It's really impressive and if you're as race crazy as I think you are then you'll check it out. Small disadvantage it is in German, but maybe there is a technical way to translate it... Have fun with it Chris

Dude, first time I saw one of your videos and I loved your energy! Great comments! You gained a sub!

This was the car that won Le Mans in 2017, but they modified it for this lap with hings that would be illegal at Le Mans such as increased fuel flow for more power(making it 1160 BHP) and revised aero like a larger rear wing for more downforce

At the Time the 919 EVO was driven, it set a record at Spa faster than the Formula One cars at the time. Also nice to know, the old record was 6:11,13 driven in 1983 by Stefan Bellof in a Group C Porsche 956 while practice before the 1000km race at the Nordschleife. This record was standing for 35 Years. Imagine the guy doing 6:11 in a 80s Racecar.

That driver is incredibly quick and absolutely precise! The car is impossibly fast. Together, they did something truly incredible!!!

Great to see a NASCAR fan trying something new and getting outside of your comfort zone! Thank you for checking out what we do over here in Europe, I’ll make sure to look into what you guys do exactly in the States as well. Greetings from Germany! 😁👍

To give you an idea of what a leap forward that lap was, the previous lap record which stood for 39 years, was 6m11s set in 1983 by a Porsche 956 driven by Stefan Bellof.

Timo Bernhard won: 2002: 1st Le Mans 24 Hours (GT) 2002: 1st Daytona 24 Hours (GT) 2002: 2nd place in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2002: 3rd place Porsche Michelin Supercup 2003: Overall victory in the Daytona 24 Hours 2003: 2nd place American Le Mans Series (GT) 2004: 1st American Le Mans Series (GT) 2004: 1st place Petit Le Mans 2004: 1st 12 Hours of Sebring (GT) 2006: 1st Petit Le Mans (LMP2) 2006: Overall American Le Mans Series race at Mid-Ohio 2006: overall victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2007: 1st American Le Mans Series (LMP2) 2007: overall victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2008: overall victory in the Sebring 12 Hours 2008: 1st American Le Mans Series (LMP2) 2008: overall victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2009: overall victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2010: overall victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours 2011: overall victory in the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 2017: overall victory in the Le Mans 24 Hours

For me the most impressive thing is the braking of that monster. It could stop on a dime and give you nine cents change. AMAZING!

8:43 to 8:56 - my favourite section of the track. The drop to the right hander and then the climb to the crest is an incredible little section!! 11:00 you're exactly correct. The carousel is insane. The difference in height between the inside curb and the top outside curb is 4ft ish, I think. Wild.

Fun fact Porshe used special Michelin tires, they were so sticky and would overheat so they had to do a lap record early in the morning when the track was still cold.

it's over 229 miles an hour. Also this car is developing massive downforce and this guy has the track memorized. He nailed every apex perfectly. just scrubbed the tire in the turns. Amazing.

What an entertaining video - again! Thanks very much! I am a blind petrol head and did enjoy listening to the raw on-board footage - the throttle response of this 2-liter V4 turbo engine in conjunction with the e-motor, which is nearly on par with a Japanese motorbike… Insanity! But I enjoyed even more when Jean-Pierre Kraemer of JP Performance (who has driven The Ring in endurance racing) talked about THAT LAP with Lars Kern, another one of Porsche's unbelievable drivers who lapped a road-legal Porsche 911 GT2 RS around The Ring in a 6-forty-something… And THIS is already insane! Haha, JP saying: "I've watched the footage more than 15 times, and I DON'T understand what's happening!"… And the reaction video by professional racing driver Daniel Abt, when he pauses the video at some point and says: "308. 308! He's doing 308!!! in THAT spot!!!"… Hence, even professional racing drivers who DO know The Ring can't get their head around how THIS LAP was possible from a human and engineering perspective. I would like to be able to feel just for 30 seconds how Timo Bernard felt when he realised that he had just accomplished a milestone in history.

I've been there yearly for almost 20yrs now, in the early days I was in cars and more recently on bikes. What you say about the excitement of surviving (even though it takes me 9min to get round which is an eternity compared to this thing) is so true. We're always filled with relief when we get to the end of the trip without incident

When I saw this onboard for the first time, I had seen so many Nürburgring onboards before that I genuinely thought the video was sped up - I couldn't believe the speed. And "insanity" is the right descriptor to use in this instance: to push as hard as this guy pushed - to the absolute limit, with almost no compromise - on a track as volatile and dangerous as the Nürburgring is the height of insanity in a motorsport context. I've heard this lap described as the lap of the gods many times, and I think it probably ranks as one of the ultimate laps in all of motorsport history. Just a barely believable effort on the least predictable circuit in the world. And now we also know just how fast the Nordschleife is from a race circuit design perspective, and on top of it all it's practically a street circuit with ZERO margin for error. Still can't believe this performance to this day.

Biggest thing to keep in mind for US viewers: 160 kph ~ 100 mph and 320 kph is ~ 200 mph Less than one minute into the lap this car was doing over 200 mph. Absolute insanity

I have a SIM rig with haptic feedback on all four corners and on the throttle and brake and a Moza wheel system. Nürburgring just physically beats me up when I drive one of these super cars on it. My best time is in the Audi E18 ERTON Quattro 2014 at 6:14.478 minutes in Assetto Corsa. When I was done, it took several laps (30 minutes or so) in the stent to achieve, I felt like I had been beat-up. Too much fun!!!! Getting these cars setup drives me crazy, where is a race engineer when you need one. I am sure if I was better at setting up the car, I could reduce my lap times by as much as 15-30 seconds. The higher bank curbs on Nürburgring are deadly on this type of cars and can really ruin your day!!!

Great reaction, i like it. Take a look at the 24 hours race on the full Racetrack. The Nordschleife is only the bigger part of a 25km Raceway where they do 24 hours races with different quick cars at the same time. So you can see a GT3 next to a 911 and a Lada with only 160 hp.... So up to 130 cars in a singel race :) Looking forwartd to see you react to this

The tribute is “just” the Le Mans LMP1 Hybrid without the mandatory restrictions in place, the air inlet restrictors removed and the hybrid system turned up to 11 and used when ever needed not like the WEC rules that restricted the 919 to a 8 Mega joules limit per lap. The electrical power could only be deployed after 60mph (I think) in WEC spec, this may have been removed too. The ICE engine produced 500hp at the wheels and the extra 660hp came from the hybrid system. So 1160hp from a car weighting 849kg or 1785lbs, this give a hp/ton of 1366hp per ton at the wheel.

Nascar watchers will be amazed by not only by their left turns, but their right turning maneuvering too!

For all the americans not understanding the speeds achieved here, 100 MPH is 160 KPH, 150 MPH is 240 KPH, and 200 MPH is 320 KPH, so he is going over 200 mph plenty of times with a topspeed of 369 KPH wich would be 229.2 MPH

Timo Bernhard is probably the best driver on this track. I have seen his runs on the GP track during the normal WEC races. He was driving like clockwork not touching any curbs, very clean and gentle with the car while at the same time driving better or similar times than his teammates. I can't tell how much I respect this man.

Most impressing for me is how fast it can take curves. Unbelieveable! Feels like you watch it in douple speed. 😂

Gutted about Sabine, she was such light in race car community and outside to all fans, and the best part of UK Top Gear whenever she was on. Her fastest lap of Nurburing in a VAN was awesome! 😢❤️🙏

I think about 11mins was my best time, in a 1965 F1 Lotus....on the computer, obviously. I don't think I ever managed a second lap, without crashing. This was an awesome video.

It's interesting how in some instances how similar it is to simulators that how little brake the driver uses around high speed corners and just lets the aero to do the work and naturally cut speed, which is how I felt and found to be the fastest and most efficient way of driving LMP1 cars around the Nordschleife as well

Love the boost used on acceleration, / recharged with breaking. The acceleration out of corners is INSANE. (Also the goddamn traction and just everything. PHENOMENAL reaction / control)

If you wan't more Nürburgring madness I'd recommend the Video "Is THIS the Best Race to Spectate EVER? Surviving the 24 Hours of Nurburgring on No Sleep" by the channel Hoonigan. It perfectly captures the atmosphere during the Legendary N24 endurance race there. It's basically gt3 endurance racing with a Rally atmosphere. One of my all-time favorite pieces of racing content on YT.

That driver is a BEAST. I wonder at some points during the lap whether the hybrid power train might have some automatic deceleration because there are some corners that would normally require heavy braking where he just lifts the throttle a bit. absolutely brilliant driving and a mind-bending car.

About the top-speed on that long straight... I think one of the adjustments they made to the regular 919 is that it has adjustable wings both front and rear wing, like the DRS they have in F1, but also on the front wing. So the driver can actually reduce the downforce and drag on that straight.

the fact the car was already five years old and on the way to the Porsche museum makes the performance even more impressive.

i love how humble, open and honest you are. just super wholesome

Ticked up to 369 for a brief moment. Wow... 369kmh = 229.28mph - Insanity

His racing line is top-notch he's hitting everything just right The downforce that that car is producing is next level I love the technology has given us the opportunity to be in the cockpit like that and see everything from the driver's perspective amazing to see how the Evie side of this car helps him pull out a turns with torque vectoring and everything absolutely awesome.

It seems that the driver is more familiar with that track than his own home! 🤓has every square millimetre of asphalt etched in his mind. That’s why he can go all-out! What a masterful drive!!!! 👌🏼

The 919 was an LMP1 car a couple of years ago. After Porsche stopped their LMP1 project they took the 919 and upgraded it past the regulations to make it as fast as possible, as such being called the 919 tribute, the car you see in this video. And yes, this car is probably faster than a formula 1 car.

My dear, come to Germany and sit next to an instructor in a GT3, only THEN will you know what Timo Bernhard has achieved. I'll pay for the flight! And provide the instructor for the round.

We coming up on Le Mans weekend and I highly recommend you watch it. There are tons of hyper cars there this year and watching them thump rough Sarthe for 24 hours is incredible. Granted, they're not quite as fast as this as they have rules and regulations to adhere to. But it is still ridiculously impressive.

Hi bro. It seems a videogame, unreal, whatever you want. Simply, the result of lots of people working in each detail. The pilot doesn't feel fear, of course, but also technique and knowing of each meter. Braking and nosedowning un the entries....brutal. I hope all of us enjoy this machine, this sound, this effort

Ok let me teach you something about the 919 Evo. I'm from east Netherlands and I've been on the nurburgring alot of times, I'm familiar with it. The Porsche 919 has won alot of races. But in races, there are obviously limitations when it comes to power, weight, downforce, body construction etc. The 919 Evo is based on the 919, but with Porsche actually saying "F U" to all the homologation rules and go absolutely nuts with every bit of racing knowledge and technology they have on the 919 Evo. Paying tribute to the 919. They did everything. The engine is a V4. They derestricted and upped the power from 500hp to 710hp. They buffed the electric motors too from 400hp to 435hp. Which is a combined total of +-1160hp. They reduced it's weight, which you can see because the homologation 919 has headlights, the 919 Evo doesnt. They modified it's bodywork. Bigger diffusers were added, a much bigger wing which also has been pushed further back, bigger front splitter, lowered, and wider. Lastly, the electric technology is pretty interesting. It's called a K.E.R.S. system. (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). It recharges, like modern electric cars, through braking. It's because the racing technology that modern EV's have this feature. When it recharges, it's stores the power in the car, just for boosts of acceleration. The car is programmed to the Nurburgring, followed by GPS, so the car can actually give the right amounts of boosts depending on where you are on the track, for example getting out of corners, or really long lasting electric boosts when on the big straight. The car knows everything. Hope that's enough info. I think it is lol. Great video, it's fun to see ur fascinated by it!

When this came out, I watched on my DJI goggles, and I was blown away. I've been on green hell, and the speeds he was doing are beyond belief. Amazing job all around. That 369 kph was limited by the top gearing. She could have gone faster. Just insane.

Context:. This car participates in the GT World Challenge Europe series - a series of races that includes the Le Mans 24 hours which I'm sure you've heard of. It is in the top of the 4 categories (LMP1) and shares space on the track with Toyota's LMP1 cars, Audi etc. They are defined as HyperCars. They are insanely fast - if you like this sort of thing I highly recommend you go to Le Mans 24 hours - about 300000 people attend and it's Thursday to Monday - race is sat to Sunday. When I went there were loads of guys who'd headed over from across the pond just for the race and made a euro holiday with the rest of their time. Your best bet is to find some form of syndicate and join them (prob a US one) - you basically give them money and they will sort out transport / campsite fees / tickets / put lane / food / drink etc. If you struggle stateside loads of UK groups do it - much better than trying to handle the whole thing on your own

I bought my father a lap riding shotgun in a Porsche GT3 on the Nürburgring, as a birthday present, this will be fun. Also: the nickname "the green hell" was coined by Jackie Stewart, and watching this: I understand :D

This reminds me how lucky I was to have had 3, 4 year tours in Germany during my Army carreer. Driving Heaven! Each tour I brought a great used car. Germans take great care of their cars and are probably the best drivers in the world. Their annual inspections are brutal= great used cars, and great roads for driving them on. Many with no speed limit. Autobahns, hi-speed straightaways forever!

I have driven it on simulators and yea, it is freaking amazing. Unfortunately Sabine Schmitz is no longer with us, but she was one of if not the greatest driver on this track. It would be a great daily driver.

you know when your watching a machine lover, when he opens another beer without taking his eyes off the video. this machine is an absolute beast, the amount of G force you can see exerted on the drivers head is insane.

Man i love this track, i think i have a couple thousand laps on it... at least as far as gaming goes. I haven't had a rig in some time now since i moved countries, but the best time i ever set on it was 6:57:~30 ish. And even in sim that run felt crazy as hell. I think my average speed was around the 190km/h mark. But this, this here is sooo far beyond that level, insane doesn't start to describe it! He could have shaved off a second here or there, but for the most part this run was flawless. I wish a sim had as powerful of a vehicle as this, would love to try it.

Imo the most impressing fact about Porsche is: they beat their own previous record 6:11:13 from 1983(!!). Stefan Bellof in a 956.

The petrol/electric combination gives this Beast an insane amount of bhp and torque. All of this power is delivered within a fraction of a second giving it mind bending acceleration. This missile maxed out at 369Kmph, that's 229 MPH!!!

so just for reference i have driven on the nurburgring, put down a +- 9:14 with a hyundai i20N what felt like on the limit, where i can go 110 he can go 180 it is more then 30 percent faster at every section

The 1. time i watched the original video i checked the replay speed because i couldnt believe how fast this is. Unreal corner speed--out of this world.

The fact that this car dont lift on hills tells you alot of it! One amazing feat from porsche! It literally rolls over faster than a jet lifts off from a runway! I mean, just imagine the forces he has to cope with. Insane!

I can totally relate to your videos. I grew up in the early 1970s and was a massive NASCAR fan back then. But then I saw my first F1 race on Wide World of Sports back in 1973, the Grand Prix of Monaco. What a huge new world opened up for me! So good on you for broadening your horizons!

"WOW IT TURNS IN 2 DIRECTIONS!!! UN HEARD OF" - Random nascar fan cool vid great reactions!

Yeah that's insane the brakes are so good the pick up crazy and what a bloody driver 😮

Now imagine racing for 24 hours on this track like they do every year in the GT class

I love watching reaction videos like this. Having run SO many laps on that track in video games, I know it fairly well. And knowing what this car can do in real life is nothing short of amazing. And watching his reaction to the speeds, especially around some of the twists and turns, just makes me smile. And while I'm not really a fan of NASCAR, I do respect those guys for what they can do at 200+mph just going around an oval (or the occasional road course). But like he said, this car is like a spaceship. I'd like to see what the Toyota GR010 Hybrid could do on this track.

On that first long stretch he was able to just tick the clock over 216mph which is incredible through that stretch. The long closing straight he ticked over 229mph. He absolutely laid-it-down on this lap. Awesome. 👍🏻😎👍🏻

fun fact: the 919 evo weighs over 800 kilos with over 1000 horsepower combining both its electric and combustion engines

Awesome reaction from you buddy. I live in the uk and have been to the ring just 3 or 4 times now but what a place. You’ve got to go and experience it yourself to truly understand what that lap means in terms of the speed he carries around them corners and the elevation changes. It will blow your mind but you should go just because the track itself will impress you just as much Awesome 👏

Neel Jani, the other driver that set a world record in Spa with 919 Evo believes that the car could go much faster but his body simply couldn't handle sheer amount of G-Force that the car produce. So we can say that the car was driven close to limit but not there yet.

One of the reasons why the 919 EVO is so fast is because of its hybrid system which, unlike a let’s say a Toyota Prius, the electric and the engine works together in a way where when you brake, the battery is being recharged; and then once you come out of a corner the electric motor assists the engine to bring in maximum acceleration.

It’s unfortunate that Stefan Bellof’s 6:11 lap of the Ring in the Rothmans Porsche 956 was not captured on video. That man was a legend (the 956 too). I would also suggest Senna’s opening lap of the 1993 Donnington GP. A wet weather masterclass that will probably never be topped.

Lap sent chills up my spine! Haven’t had that sensation since 1962 when I got my first real race Kart. Thanks!

The conversion: 1Mile = 1.6KM (Or backwards 1KM = 0.625Mile) 60 MPH = 96 KPH 120MPH = 192KPH 180MPH = 288KPH 210MPH = 336KPH (342KM@ 6:35) 225MPH = 360KPH (@ 12:40)

I watched the original several times and its fascinating everytime. the speed, the precision of driving, just great. The Nordschleife is also called "Green Hell" because parts of the track are so far out in the woods. Btw top speed in F1 officially measured is 373 km/h.

If you want to see a CRAZY lap of the Nordshleife look at the Ruf CTR "Yellow Bird" lap made in 1987 by Stephan Rozer. Pure driving skill

Its awesome you watched this and I love it and am very happy. For one thing I'll say it's a somewhat modern hybrid type system which uses an engine but where braking charges a battery that creates boost he uses constantly throughout the lap but it all goes to the front wheels so he can slam into corners, understeer, and hit the boost to drag the car out at speed, absolutely crazy fast. It is a long track though, and if you do decide to watch the RUF yellowbird nurburgring lap just know that the video is multiple laps so it looks like a long video but if you watch it, as soon as it looks like the track repeats (after they make that hard right turn and pass the bleachers after that very long straight), that's basically the end of the video. Its some absolutely horrifying driving though, so watch it whenever you want to see some stuff like that

It really looks surreal! That acceleration speed is out of this world.

to answer one question, at the time it set the record it was faster than the F1 cars of that time and the 919 was made as a tribute but they also wanted to know what it could do without having to follow the rules so it was cool to see the car all out

The 919 was in 6, 12 and 24 hour endurance racing, the LMP1 regulations. In this video the, they removed all race limitations and went full out. It's an incredible race car.

That is absolutely Mental.. That car is soooo Fast, going around corners at 280kph...just crazy. How fast it slows down is probably more insane than how fast it accelerates.

I’ve got a 5:14 in an F1 car on gran turismo, and this guy just made me feel it’s easier in real life. I’m not a fucken idiot, I know it isn’t, but that’s how perfect he was.

Road & Track has an article about how this car is demonstrated at events like the Rennsport Reunion with only 4 or 5 mechanics, and they had 25 mechanics supporting the car during its LMP1 heyday in the WEC.

I’ve seen this lap so many times and I never get sick of it.

The way you reacted to the onboard is my exact reaction when seeing it for the very first time. As a long time rally,hillclimb and time attack fan i'm not easy to fascinate since i see crazy good perfromances with awesome and ridicilously fast cars in those motorsports,but this left me completely mindblown and speechless.Speaking of Nurburgring,you should also check Laurens Vanthoor's lap around 24hr layout during qualifying session,where not only he took pole position but also set a new layout record,driving Porsche 991 GT3R.

Gotta love the WEC prototypes. Of course, in this lap they didn't need to worry about wearing out the tyres, gearbox or engine, like they do when they do 12 or 24hr races. They can basically turn off all the limiters.

The EVO was such a special car. They lightened it by removing the headlights, air conditioning and a few other driver comfort items that are typically required during endurance races. They also bumped up power and aero beyond what is allowed by normal race regulations to maximize the car’s single lap time ability. No rules, in other words. In many sections of the track he’s doing double the speed that very fast road cars can do. The average speed for this lap is around 145mph which is faster than the top speed that many fast (non race spec) cars ever see in a lap.

Not only set a record..... smashed the record! Amazing unbelievable skill. Congrats to all involved!!!!!
