@@ab7uckGER How is beating the ID.R by 46 seconds on what is widely considered to be the most difficult and dangerous track in the world nothing special when beating someone by 2 seconds is impressive on average tracks
@@izoyt Mate, I've raced a lot of cars in my time, but at the end of the day, my 4WD has a 5,000 kg winch on it. I'd get that sucker moving one way or another. :-)
I did the route once in about 18 minutes. And today (20 years later) my knees still tremble when I think about it. My greatest respect to the engineers and even greater respect to the driver's performance.
The best thing is when you look at the hood cam it seems so stable, like the car is riding on rails and the driver is just effortlessly trashing it around at over 300kph, but when you see the onboard with the drivers head shaking and bouncing violently due to the cornering forces and bumps on the track, it just becomes clear what a visceral and extreme lap this is. An absolute feat of engineering and driving skill, truly incredible.
It's crazy how a human can withstand anything that corners even faster than the 919 EVO (F1 cars specifically from before the ground effect regulation changes with a high downforce config)
Look at the wheel wells. You can see the chassis vibrating like butt cheeks after Taco Bell, but it doesn't translate to the road. The cameras are putting in work. It's a ROUGH ride.
@@Khetomi1 919 hybrid Evo makes far more downforce than F1. It's slower cause it's heavier. Snd it ain't slower actually. It's lap was done in worser conditions and tires and a non rubbered track.
When you think about it, the physics makes sense. The car was designed around a low center of gravity, in which the heaviest part was located midline of the car and between the drivers legs. lol
I want was on a flight once time seated next to a pro Indy car racer that also drove LeMans. He showed me videos from his perspective that he had on his phone and explain to me all of the differences in the types of race cars as well as walked me through the million buttons on the steering wheel. Those cars are mind-bogglingly advanced. He also explained that he started racing go-kart racing as a child and that that is the way that the vast majority of racers start gradually getting faster and faster cars. I asked him about what he was thinking as he was cornering at speeds that seemed like they were in fast forward to us mortals, his reply "I don't think, I just get in a zone and Flow". He said it's almost like he's playing a video game and not really there. The exception being that it's remarkably physical. He has to do strength training and cardio to ensure he has enough endurance for races that can take hours and the force required to steer a car without power steering (Indy NOT F1) at those speeds as well as strengthen his neck enough to deal with all of that wind and the g-forces constantly. After that flight I came away with so much more respect for the art and science of racing.
Its honestly hard to fathom just how incredible this achievement is. A perfect lap.....perfect conditions....Timo Bernhard piloting the vehicle that nearly transcends human limits.....an absurd car being pushed to its limits through the one of the most dangerous circuits in the world. I get chills every time I watch it.
We are watching what a driver at peak performance can do with a proto car built to provide as much performance as humanly conceivable. Absolutely mental how fast this car is and how good of a pilot the driver is.
He actually said about his time in SPA that 919 was capable of going faster but he personally wouldnt be able to withstand it. We can probably assume that the same would be true for Nordschleife.
This was fucking insane. What a supercar and what a superhuman. One thing that surprised me though was the top speed actually being lower than some of the 917's from 50 years ago 😐
It also shows where there's room for potential improvement as he was banging off 369 for a bit. Not downplaying this absolutely insane achievement at all. If anything, I'm glad to know that Porsche and others will keep delivering new records and that we haven't reached a near-term ceiling.
@@brrrrr9999 He couldn't do the high speed sweepers before the carousel as fast if that car had any less downforce and removing downforce is probably the only reasonable way to increase the cars top speed in this case.
It can't be sped up, the actual stopwatch is shown below, which is correct in timing. And the whole race is shown from start to finish, so unless the whole thing is a fix by Porsche!....But i doubt it, this car made a faster lap time than Lewis Hamiltons F1 car around Spa, Google it.

Quite an impressive driver-strong 8/10.. I would have taken the first corner slightly differently including skidding off into the crash barrier and being airlifted to hospital
Ok what the hell!!! At 2:45 he’s petering on 316km/h. The boost kicks in and he jumps up to 343km/h in maybe a second. What in the hell! This might be the most insane lap of anything, ever.

I wish to have 1/1000000000 of the skill of this absolutely mental pilot. You could never pay me enough to be inside this thing during this lap. That's terrifying fast. There is speed, there is very fast, dangerously fasy, and then there is this thing.
It has a small battery. Under initial acceleration that battery converts into torque. Braking & exhaust gases are used to charge it. With corect tuning you can hit the right balance for the track; balancing electrical boost to get you up to max speed and letting the petrol engine fly when its ok The trie genius os the areodymamics.
@@carlchallinor4933 Oh, so the "boost" is the electric motor... got it! I was wondering how comes turbo boost went to zero when his throttle & rpm is at nearly max.
@@gabbyprod Likely impossible with how the Nür is when it comes to track condition. The F1 suspension is very fragile and would outright explode going flat out over some of those bumps. But yeah, if it was possible I'd also like to see a flat out F1 lap.

Samuele Marcolongo It is a unit-thing between machine and driver. Both are thinking the same which is: "If we trust each other, we'll fly!" You're absolutely right!
she and her husband own a Porsche 962 which they think could actually be faster than the 919 if you put modern tires on it, but she doesn't want to take the risk dying for a record
Yes, thank you! This was my post ---> @ 2:47 He engages Boost again going 320 km/h at '2 :37.24' ... at '2: 29.64', so TWO seconds later (when boost dies off), he is going 348 km/h! That's + 28 km/h in to freaking seconds at his damn top end in 7th gear!!!!! Complete insanity.
the funny thing is, i watched this right after some Panamera or Mercedes going round the Ring very quickly....then came the 919 and fcking blew my mind. maybe I watched this for the 10th time and it still gets me... engineering in this car is insane, the pilot himself is a maniac...incredible
Mad respect to the Driver !!!!. Just look at the inside cam, how the force move him to left and right through corners, without being bothered by those shakes and to be this precise, his brain must be working so fast that it feels to him as the time has slowed down, I can't think of any other ways for this miracle to be true...
Jerry Gilbert Probably not in corners, however the g-forces he experienced from pure acceleration in a mostly straight line while hybrid is deployed could very well be more than what F1 drivers experience while doing the same
The brain is super powerful, imagine how much math it has to do to tell your arms to move the steering wheel a certain amount, while telling your legs how to brake and accelerate all at the same time.
Absolut unglaublich. Als beifahrer wäre ich bestimmt mehrmals unmächtig geworden. Was für eine unfassbare beschleunigung und was für ein fahrerisches können
@@asdfghjklzxcvbnm6874 Maybe Honda makes a car with V-TEC engine, turbo, nitro and ultracapacitor fed electric motors? (Not sure if car makes can add nitro though, I heard somewhere that's illegal but I still want to see that regardless)
Years ago, I watched Stefan Bellof's lap of the ring, and it was the first time I learned about this track, seeing this now, while knowing Bellof did 6:11.13 in 1983, and seeing what Timo Bernhard just did, it blows my mind how good these drivers are. There's parts of this video were Timo is flat out and you can see (or you know) that the track is not the smoothest or best surface and he just nails it, total faith in friction and total concentration.
Sorry dude, but there's no video recording of Bellof's record setting run. You may have watched a video of him at the'Ring? It was officially recorded into the history books but that's it. If you can find that video then maybe you'll know who killed President Kennedy as well.
There is a technical issue with this video. For some reason its stuck on 2x play speed. Would someone please contact RUclips and inform them of this issue. Thank you.
I found this impressive when it was first released. Half a year ago I got into sim racing and I'm on the process of getting really familiar with the Nordschleife in VR. The more familiar I get, the more stunned I am to do a lap like this IRL. Absolutely INSANE MIND BOGGLING AMAZING
My familiarity with the Nordschleife before this was also only though videos and sim racing. The first time I saw this, I thought I was watching a video game.
These pro drivers are extremely precise with instant body reaction to the events in front of them in less than a split of a second. They're literally pilots on the wheels.
I don't think an airplane pilot can hold up against these guys even for a minute. Most of them are not even particularly physically fit. Race car drivers are a different breed. My personal Nordschleife record is 6:58 with a GT1 car. On AMS2. I can't even comprehend how he's keeping control of the car at such speeds

But u can see in many corners that it was not a top-of-the-edge lap but more a controled very fast lap. This car should be able to go about 3-5 sec faster when it would have come up to a challange with an other driver in a quali situation. But still amazing to see.
That heals my world cup missery. Men and women worked hard for this. But it remains the very skilled and brave driver to fight physics on the edge of the possibilities. Thank you Porsche.
Imo it's 98% the people who created the car and the rest from the driver. Could Porshe have used an other driver to acheive this time? Certainly. Could an other driver have achieved this record without the people who created the car? Certainly not. Don't get me wrong, i really like and respect Timo. But when it comes to credit, to me drivers are just one of many nowdays.
wonder how many laps into the day it was before this ripper of a lap. definition of in the zone. absolute concentration and synergy between man and machine
@@warpnuclearObviously they did practive and prep laps, but this is the one timed lap, yes. Driver said that the car was capable of going even faster, but the human body physically cannot keep up with it
@@warpnuclear if i'm not mistaken, they did preparation laps and all, like a race weekend, and then attempted 2 flying laps; also if i remember correctly, Timo said that the first lap was already good enough, and attempted a second lap to further refine it around a couple of corners please correct me if i'm wrong
Incredible achievement. Congrats to the driver, almost unhuman skills. It was hard to follow until I watched it all at 2x speed (as ridiculous as it might seem) and then rewatched it again a 1x. Then I could process all the actions the pilot was doing in real time and 1st half seemed slow as expected. Once the brain readjusted the 2nd half will again seem impossibly fast. That's just a testament to what the driver has managed to achieve here. Hats off to Timo!
After sim racing for about 1 year (and building a decent rig with VR), I still can´t pull a fast lap around this track without losing control in any car, in any game (i´ve tried the track in many sims). The sheer thought of someone doing this at this speed blows my mind really. Insane risks, even knowing that it´s a special car driven by a special driver - taking those curves at those speeds with the car about to fly off the track, and the corrections the driver has to make during those micro jumps hitting those bumps, terrifying... They should add a new element to the periodic table, the stuff that the driver´s balls are made of - whatever it is. A M A Z I N G.
I just pulled a 6:32 with the Radial SR8 in iRacing. Took me a week to get down there. My optimal is a 6:27. Don't have balls big enough for that in a race. What this legend has done with the porsche 919 is an achievement previously unfathomable even in video game land.
Real life is completely different because you can feel the amount of traction that you have, also feel the G force. SIM just helps your reaction time and positioning to an extent, but that’s not much.
I don’t think most people understand how astronomically insanely fucking impressive this is.
No it is not. It's only training, nothing special.

It is like a overtake button in F1?
Also note that the boost comes in different ways -> this was a slow boost, in other places on the track there are other delivery times of the boost.

That is outrageously good driving in an astonishingly well-tuned machine. Congrats to Porsche and that incredible driver.
I have a technical question. I can't figure out how he fills up his boost. I didn't see him pass opponents very closely or take out any cops. 🤷♂️
Speedbonus
Underated comment
It has a small battery. Under initial acceleration that battery converts into torque.
Braking & exhaust gases are used to charge it.
With corect tuning you can hit the right balance for the track; balancing electrical boost to get you up to max speed and letting the petrol engine fly when its ok

Mad respect to the Driver !!!!. Just look at the inside cam, how the force move him to left and right through corners, without being bothered by those shakes and to be this precise, his brain must be working so fast that it feels to him as the time has slowed down, I can't think of any other ways for this miracle to be true...
It's just like Drake says... God's Plan
Could he be taking more G-force than an F1 driver?
Jerry Gilbert Probably not in corners, however the g-forces he experienced from pure acceleration in a mostly straight line while hybrid is deployed could very well be more than what F1 drivers experience while doing the same
The brain is super powerful, imagine how much math it has to do to tell your arms to move the steering wheel a certain amount, while telling your legs how to brake and accelerate all at the same time.

Years ago, I watched Stefan Bellof's lap of the ring, and it was the first time I learned about this track, seeing this now, while knowing Bellof did 6:11.13 in 1983, and seeing what Timo Bernhard just did, it blows my mind how good these drivers are. There's parts of this video were Timo is flat out and you can see (or you know) that the track is not the smoothest or best surface and he just nails it, total faith in friction and total concentration.
Sorry dude, but there's no video recording of Bellof's record setting run. You may have watched a video of him at the'Ring? It was officially recorded into the history books but that's it. If you can find that video then maybe you'll know who killed President Kennedy as well.

After sim racing for about 1 year (and building a decent rig with VR), I still can´t pull a fast lap around this track without losing control in any car, in any game (i´ve tried the track in many sims).
The sheer thought of someone doing this at this speed blows my mind really. Insane risks, even knowing that it´s a special car driven by a special driver - taking those curves at those speeds with the car about to fly off the track, and the corrections the driver has to make during those micro jumps hitting those bumps, terrifying... They should add a new element to the periodic table, the stuff that the driver´s balls are made of - whatever it is.
