  • This is the Porsche 919 EVO. It’s what you get when you take a Le Mans-winning prototype and rip up the rulebook. In 2018, Porsche set it’s engineers a single goal - make a car go faster than anything else.
    But how did Porsche make the 919 faster than even the latest F1 cars? What rules did Porsche need to ignore to turn an LMP1 car into a machine capable of being the fastest car ever to lap the Nurburgring?

    The Porsche 919 was a dominant machine in the World Endurance Championship’s LMP1 category, winning 17 of the 33 races it took part in and winning three championships in a row from 2015 to 2017.
    It was a truly ground-breaking car, with an astonishingly efficient V4 engine and one of the most advanced hybrid systems ever.
    After winning Le Mans three times over, the time came for Porsche to retire the 919 and with that, their LMP1 campaign. So Porsche looked for a way to give it the send-off it deserved.

      This is actually a huge thing in wrestling. Neck workouts are done every practice because the neck and head are used both offensively and defensively. It's not uncommon for neck strength to be a deciding factor in a match... I'm kind of surprised this isn't something that high-level drivers do their whole career as well. Until now I've always assumed that they did.

    Actually, that lap record from Spa has already been beaten since Q2 in 2018 (!!) by cars which were built very much under regulated rules. Sebastian Vettel (Ferrari SF71H, 1:41.501), Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes W09, 1:41.533) and Kimi Räikkönen (Ferrari SF71H, 1:41.553) beat the time set by Porsche in Q2, before rain hindered them from setting even faster times in Q3.
    Also, just now (29 August 2020), Lewis obliterated that record once more with his monstrous Mercedes-AMG F1 W11 EQ Performance! He achieved a new lap record with an 1:41.252 (!!), more than half a second quicker than Neel Jani. Furthermore, Valtteri Bottas in the second Mercedes was also slightly quicker.
    I think this shows you just how incredible these F1 machines are when even a completely unregulated Porsche can't come close to the times set by cars which operate well within a set of regulations. That's F1.

This is something that could actually have a huge impact on a lap time as it was mentioned in this video that the g forces in the Porsche reached upwards of 4g on the driver's head and neck. It may not be a traditional way to drive a race car and if it does start to happen it will be frowned upon by motor sport purists, but finding any way to maximize speed by eliminating the negative effects of atmospheric pressures is what the engineering behind this sport is all about.

    My first (and last) lesson in pronunciation regarding Porsche dates back to the early 80's when my close friend's father (Dr. Ruff) corrected me when I commented about his cool new car. He stressed the second phonetic syllable (yes... there are 2) and made me feel an inch tall. I've never forgotten it.

    Edit: Yes, stupid comment. I didn't think it over beforehand. But I researched and learned some more knowledge.
    Racing drivers are having it worse even though they statisticly need to endure lower G-Forces.
    Reason you may ask? In a Car, the G-Forces mainly constrain the Y-axis (Horizontal/to left and right) and X-axis (Horizontal/to front and rear) while Fighter Pilots mainly edure Z-axis (Vertical/on Up and Down).
    On Z-axis force your Spine and Neck are stabalycing you, on X and Y your muscles have to take over that part.

      They didn't really try to hard to beat that record. They didn't have the one-off tyres on the car, just off-the-shelf tyres. The driver, Tandy, never even drove the car before trying the record at Brand Hatch. And they still got to 0.1 seconds of Scotts record. I'm quite sure the Evo can do low 36 or high 35 second runs on that track in that layout, WITH the right driver and tyres.

    I love unlimited performance. I used to drag race in the "gasser" class at a local track. there were rules; pump gas, carbuerated , street tires, no wheelie bars, no additives to fuel, on and on etc. Every season I would have some "tech inspection" issues fix. The things they missed were what let me win. Avgas at the local airport was one. The receipt only said Exxon premium.

    Great video. And as I scrolled through a goodly number of comments, there was no mention of the only true no rules, run what you brung series ever created. It was very short lived, in part thanks to Porsche once again. That was the Can-Am series of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. True mechanical beasts of staggering performance and horsepower. Check out the Porsche 917/30 et al. A mere 1300 horsepower and breathtaking top end. Still hold the closed course “oval” speed record at Daytona at over 250 mph. I saw a 917/30 do a wheel stand going up hill at Road America back in the 70’s. The Driver - Jody Scheckter. There are a few videos on the tube of this magical era. You should check them out.
