But then... Timo Bernhard got... *THIS* run!

The absolutely mental part is that this is 45 seconds faster then anyone else has gone around the track. That is an eternity in racing.

The boost is because the 919 was a hybrid. The class of car was called LMP1 (Le Mans Prototype 1). They had a engine along with an hybrid component. The battery for the Hybrid was charged using a KERS system (Kinetic Energy Recovery System). Essentially, when braking the battery recharged, and the Porsche also recovered some from the engine on straightaways. The hybrid then got deployed using a computer in the car that deployed it at certain pre-determined parts of the track. Mostly at the beginning of straights. You can think of the hybrid as a bit of a boost button. These cars were so fast that they essentially were F1 cars at one point. The car in this video is the "EVO" version which is essentially the same thing but without all the rules and restrictions that the LMP1 had so this is effectively faster than what was actually raced before LMP1 was axed as a class in the WEC.

interesting note, even if tech got better we may soon reach a human limit on this. the driver noted after the run that he came close to blacking out from gforces, so any faster could be impossible

the AI generated thumbnail with the wrong car, when REALLY COOL images of the actual car on the track exist.... wild choice ngl :/

The prototype without regulations. 919 was a beast but the evo was a monster

Tbh i would like to see Wirtual try driving this circuit on a different racing game. Assetto Corsa, Gran Turismo 7 or I Racing would all be ok

Fun fact he held himself for his own ""security"" and this car can be pushed further

AI generated thumbnail art? why.... just have a picture of the actual nurburgring... it's literally in the video...

They actually programmed the boost before (on a much slower lap), I think they use gps data to specify where it gets activated

We need a Wirtual X Jimmy Broadbent crossover, lmao.

Imagine dealing with city traffic after a lap like this.

He really did Nürburg all over that ring

The BOOST is KERS... a electric motor that gives boost and regenerates when you brake hard.

Bro really used an AI thumbnail

AI generated thumbnail? I see

ain’t no way they built a track mania map irl

Ai thumbnail really? come on

Did... Did Wirtual just call the Nördschleife a "map"???

Surprisingly the engine is a 2.0 litre V4, not some massive V12

Imagine finishing that lap and then getting into your normal car and driving home...

Nice world record.

After being a passenger in a 911 gt3rs with one of the fastest race drivers on the nordschleife i really saw how absolutely insane this one is. like its literally unimaginable going this fast on the track

My hands are so sweaty and my heart dropped so many times watching this. Such absurd speed and he takes those corners so quickly. I feel like I would black out going around those corners.

This is so scary wtf. My instincts are constantly yelling at me "you're gonna die!!!" and I'm not even driving.

everyone be making thumbnails with AI nowadays 😂

he doesn't do speed slides since he never drives faster than 400kph

So we're doing AI 'art' for the thumbnails now? Disgusting

take a look at kevin estre’s start. should be called something along the lines of “kevin estre p11 to p1 nurburgring 24h”

It might be crazy, but he's not even driving 100% here, he's leaving himself some margin (understandably so). The lap is impressive as it's incredibly fast ; I'd say GT3 cars can be equally impressive when driven at max speed on this track, even if they are slower

You gotta watch isle of man world record on motorcycle absalute insanity

Its so crazy how you can even see the bumps making his foot very slightly lift the pedal in the main straight.

Nice to see Wirt getting more involved in different racing disciplines, could end up being a sim racer

... and then Hefest got this run!

I cant believe this guy also wasnt spamming his custom horn. Unbelievable... do it again, but right this time! (im kidding this video is amazing)

Insane part is, that the record before was 1 minute slower and it stayed for over 40 years. And even very fast cars are like 2-3 minutes slower, can't even imagine driving 300 in some of those corners.

Can you imagine what it feels like to be in top gear in an f1 car bottoming the pedal to the floor holy shit

this is insanely cool, but pls dont use ai in your thumbnails :(

Simracing? When?

If today's F1 cars survive the track, they would probably not be as fast. At the time, it also broke the F1 spa qualifying record. Consider that the preparation for such a run is very limited compared to F1 practice and quali. It's more like rally than F1 in that sense.

No wonder he is so fast, he literally pressed F for boost.

Mans just surpassed speed of sound like its nothing Edit: I'm stupid, speed of sound is 343 METERS PER SECOND, not 343 KILOMETERS PER HOUR

Now you have to hop onto assetto corsa with jimmy broadbent and try to track out yourself

What super impressive and most people don’t even know is that is a full lap time not BTG.

I was hoping for a nose bug to uber bug finish.

0:55 there's literally a map in the lower left corner 😂

the 919 evo is a mod for assetto corsa. driving it is insane even in assetto corsa

368km/h or 229 mph ........NUTS

the poshe 919 evo hybrit has 1.000 hp combustion engine plus 160 hp elektric engine and only weight 800 killogramm. just imagin the acceleration. also it has downforce like a formula 1 car, it drives corners like on rails. the porshe 919 hybrit evo was faster than the 2018 formula 1 qualifing lap in spa belgium

You can see the throttle pedal not fully open down the main straight because it's so fast and bumpy that he PHYSICALLY cannot put his foot down on the pedal all the way. NUTTY.

yeah impressive. but its nothing compared to Stefan Bellofs 6m11.130s in 1983 while also having traffic

In case you didn't know, the spedometer is in... miles per hour... so that 369 is actually 594km/h :|

Be careful with streaming other peoples content. Especially to publish it as a youtube video with ads. I respect you Wirtual (and editors!), but this isn't really transformative use of source material.

Fun fact, the car was limited by the driver. Timo Bernhard, I believe, experienced g forces of an average of 2.4, peaking at around 5g. Timo said he blacked out on another record attempt, because of the insane downforce, acceleration and braking this car has. It’s true potential isn’t humanly survivable. And if you want to have to full potential of the car without dying you have to drive it in a simulator Edit: I also want to add that I believe that a sub 4:40 is totally possible without human limits, and has allready been achieved in simulators quite often. The very very skilled Timo Bernhard is the limit, and it isn’t even his driving skills. This car is crazy

All the people saying "Could have gone faster with some speedslides" He didn't hit 400 speed so he can't speedslide... SMH My Head

I don't understand why you would need to use an AI thumbnail. You're using an editing software to put your face over the image regardless, the time save can't be that huge. L + cringe

It looks like Wirtual has never driven faster than 200 because the fact that he goes into corners with 270... shocked everyone who drives a normal car...

Nürburgring Lap Record is cool and all but have you seen the Isle of man TT lap record?

6:30 fun fact: the driver said in later interviews that he probably could have gone faster with more trys. If i remember correctly it was his 2nd or 3rd lap with the real car on the real track. Befor this he drove the car only in simulations. He also was on "old" tires (2 or 3 laps old but past their peak performance). This car was also pretty much only built because porsche had build the chassis for le mans but decided to pull out of the lmp classes so they had the base car and no limitations from rule sets for racing classes. With that opportunity the engeneers said let's build a car to demonstrate what this technology is actually capable of

Aight this man better watch kevin estre in what he did on spa 2019 and nurburgring 24 hours of 2021

Fun fact: this wasn't even fullsend, the driver said that he was pulling too many g's in the corners and feared he would pass out.

Now imagine how much faster the lap could be if the driver didnt have such heavy, giant balls.

It is really cool that you do a reaction vid on this lap, but it is so damn clear that you have no f'ing clue what is going on there... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Other people who’ve driven faster cars might feel different, but after I’m done driving a track day I feel so fast walking around.

That guys head whilst bouncing off the limiter at the end. What the actual fuck...

AI Thumbnail be bad tho :( (Good vid tho)

wow videos games really look more realistic than reality 💀(not talking about trackmania)

i grab every chance to rewatch this lap, romain dumas is a fucking madman

BOOST ENGINE MEANS, THAT WHEN HE BREAKS, HE GAINS ENERGY FOR THE ELECTRIC MOTOR, WHICH HE LATER CAN USE

I don't like the thumbnail. I watched for wirtual and TM.

The driver said, the car could go faster but his head does not and maybe his body too.

you should take a look at the isle of man race :D might be motorbikes but thats the most insane race.

The Driver did over 2 months of intense neck training as preparations for the g forces

OMFG i just realized that it's noslide not noseslide...

Waiting for RaceHans to drop THIS run... xD

It’s amazing how skilled the driver is because cars like that shouldn’t really race on that track because how bumpy it is, that’s why F1 can’t participate.. great video 🔥🫶🏻

Idk if i should feel the bad feeling i got when the chat said it was an V8 but its an V4 in real life

The chat speaking nonsense pains me. This car isn't a V8, it's a V4.

That boost is energy that is collected during braking

Faster. Faster. Until the thrill of speed overcomes the thrill of death

"They made trackmania map into real life" Cool.

What if wirtual reacted to Isle of Man TT lap record

i want wirtual to go to touristenfahrten irl

Bruh people need to stop using ai generated thumbnails

That guy is speaking like xQc after that lap

Imagine redlining your car in seventh gear...

why does thumbnail look ai generated

He can join FWO. even though he did no cut

So the difference between the trackmania map and this run is that the trackmania is the full track and the run is the 24h variant

This is the Nordschleife only, or "green Hell". You drove in Trackmania the Nürburgring-Nordschleife which consists of the old GrandPrix Track + Nordschleife, thats the reason why you couldn't remember the sections first :)

Bro is watching the chat more than the video XD

now react to misha charoudin on the nurburgring

234 kph of speed average is insane bro

Have you, Wirtual, ever considred to start with simulation racing and go a similar route as the youtube Channel _SuperGT_ (British Gran Turismo Streamer, who latetly went to the Nuernburgring irl in a real race car? Or would you like to collab with him once? He plays for example one round of TM with you and you GT with him?

this is not quite the track that got used in the Trackmania Game, as this run skips the "Grand Prix" Track and starts by going into the "Nordschleife" instantly. Therefore the Homestretch is a bit shorter and the first corners (which might take him about a minute or so) are left out compared to the game version.

Now do a reaction of the Isle of Man TT

It's been like 6 years since the record breaking time and yet people keep talking about it. 50 second ahead from the previous record is fucking impressive

This was only the Nordschleife and I think the TM map is the complete Nürburgring

919 evo. i have a poster of one in my room
