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)
@@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.
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.
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.
DongleLife As in correcting the spelling?! For gods sake, grammar police really ruin a conversation! If Anthony Wayne wants to be anal regarding grammar, then he should use one space after a full stop and not two.
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 😐
besides the fact that this performance is absolute history can we jut acknowledge the fact that he did 21km with 154 turns in just more than 5 minutes? putting this in numbers makes it even more crazier
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.
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
He only had to concentrate for about 5 minutes, LOL. No in all seriousness, this is the most impressive lap I've ever seen. The acceleration to 250kph is amazing.

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
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.
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.

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.
I managed a 5:13 in the Evo on Assetto Corsa and I was scared sh*tless!! My brain was overheating trying to keep up with the sheer speed that everything comes at you. I can't even begin to fathom what it must be like to do this in real life. Mega mega respect! 🫡
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
Set it as your homepage and be remeinded daily of the high bar you'll prolly never reach. Everyone needs a little reality check from time to time.. ; ) just don't drive yourself crazy alright..
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.

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.
Just found this video. It is insanely incredible! I cannot match this speed on this track even on the game GT7! Totally admire the professional driving skills!
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.
And for a fun fact from the books of history: Willi Kauhsen a factory test driver reached 380km/h on Döttinger running into the limiter in a 917/10 in 1972. His record lap time back then 7:07. And in case you wonder. Top speed had to be limited to 380. At 400km/h the tires flew away at the test bed at Weissach.

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
Amazing project by Porsche, congrats with the new record!
Automotive Mike That grip at the corner exit 0:41^^
Now just imagine what a F1 car of 2018 would do. I would really love to see that. It would even top this great lap-
bowlchamps37 this is faster then F1 car
bowlchamps37 man even you seen a f1 Its a concept high tested car.
This is a full concept car made for nothing only for speed
Dark Lightning Müller's translation please 🤣
I watch this video fairly regularly. Every time I'm awe struck at the skill that driving requires.
Over 2.5 years on and I still struggle wrapping my brain around how this was possible.......just incredible.
This is still the lap record too.
@@rossvoorheis2391 And will be for many years to come...
4:50 the acceleration with boost at those speeds is absolutely ridiculous
That he manages to hit 308km/h - before going up towards Flugplatz is just ridiculous (in the best possible way)
Just tried this in simulator, it is quite insane.
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.
yes, its insane how it hits the rev limiter but wanted to pass 400 with a different gearing.
Fun Fact:
Every time this is in my recommendations i will watch it.
being totally realistic you probably watched it 7 times in the span of 4 days
Same!
me too. and every time when i watch this im just amazed me
I was just about to give you a thumb up.... but it semms i already did it months ago
The driver said that the car could go much quicker, he was the limiting factor, his body couldn’t withstand the G forces. That’s insane.
Im prerty sure this thing can go over 500 kph... Or am i just weird.
"Man, the next KFC is 20km away"
"Give me 5 minutes"
LMFAO
well, at 365 Kph, he could be there in 3.28 Mins.

He’s driving it like a video game where you can respawn, crazy car.
true. amazing
haha yep
Tyler Durden he’s probably driven it thousands of hours. If I could drive a f1 car everyday I’d probably be pretty damn good as well
Takes some courage for sure keeping the foot down in those S'es
honestly i'm curious what is the minimum speed he'd have to crash to be able to survive cause that shit is so fast ..
I showed this video to my Prius.
haha!
How did he react? xD
Her name is Irene... and she became mildly aroused!
nice
What does your prius say after watching this? I' m curious
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.

@@anonymouswombat9709 maybe in about 10 years in the cayman
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.
Less than 2 Gs
I think that Timo and the 919 are an unbeatable couple. Never seen such a straightforward heading team. Its absolutely magic - thanks thats great!!!
2:45 when the Boost kicks in JESUS CHRIST!!!
thats what every ricer civic driver thought they do when the vtec kick in in their minds

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
Do u use ACC or any other sim?
@@sanjuthomassabu ACC doesn't have the Nordschleife as a track. I use Assetto Corsa or Automobilista 2

@@CalebDiT A video game played at 3 times normal speed!!!
And you don’t have to contend with factors that don’t exist in a video game, bit that does in the real world

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
I believe it was only one. In Spa they only ran one lap and I think they did for all the other ones. Correct me if I am wrong though
@@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
Every time I think I'm a good driver, I'll just escort myself back here.

Thank you Porsche.
haviii the lego gunner it's more about very fine powers of judgement.
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.

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.
Actually I’ve seen more people
Say exactly what uve just said than I’ve seen comment on the car.
Just found this video. It is insanely incredible! I cannot match this speed on this track even on the game GT7! Totally admire the professional driving skills!
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

And for a fun fact from the books of history: Willi Kauhsen a factory test driver reached 380km/h on Döttinger running into the limiter in a 917/10 in 1972. His record lap time back then 7:07. And in case you wonder. Top speed had to be limited to 380. At 400km/h the tires flew away at the test bed at Weissach.
The funny thing is that the whole lap Sabine Schmitz was just behind him in a Ford Transit telling him to get out of the way.
