This has to be the cleanest lap I have ever seen on the mountain. Inch-perfect. Using the track to that extend on any track is an achievement, but in the night on THAT track... just WOW
It's like a slow motion optimal racing line demonstration sped up to full speed.
actually it looked to me like he did make a couple of extremely tiny errors. Seemed like the back end stepped out a tiny bit under acceleration once, and that jump off a kerb looked sub-optimal to me. That's not to diss his lap, i'm an F1 fan so i know how great Max is. I'm highlighting those things more to point out just how good this lap was. Those two tiny things that might not even be things at all, and i'm only saying "looked like", as an acknowledgement of my own inexpert judging. The fact that he can be so close to the limit and not bin it into a wall on that track is mind-boggling. It's even more so when you realise that he could do it lap after lap 100 laps within a few thousandths of a second of each other. I've been racing at my level for thirty years and i can do 5 pushing laps in the same 0.05-0.1 of a second, about it.
@@johnbeer4963 The rear never stepped out from what I could see. There was a perfect example of slip angle though. The main principle of that being that there is an acceptable amount of tire slip if that falls within a certain angle(usually a couple of degrees) and the tire flex coincides with a small enough amount of centrifugal force and/or inertia that it is actually faster than if there had been no slip angle at all. It is a cool phenomenon I only recently learned about by watching some of the driving technique tutorials on Driver61's UA-cam channel.
Other than that, I think the lines he took over the kerbs was accurate to the way real GT cars take them. Though he was straight up supernatural through the mountain section and downhill onto the back straight. Up to that point, I was pretty confident I could match his lap time. Not so sure after lol. I have gotten to the mid 2:02's there.
Edit: Just watched it again. I think he may have been as close to perfect as humanly possible. At least from my own knowledge and experience with Mount Panorama.
@@buzzfightbeer8023 yeah it was before the last corner
Literally looks like an AI
Raw pace isn’t the only quality a driver needs; adaptability is equally as important, and I think Max has proved that with the Red Bull being stupidly difficult to drive, and with being able to genuinely compete with the pro sim drivers. The man can drive anything well, not many drivers can adapt like this
He really might be the best driver of this generation... Dude is a legend.
@@jcskehan I'm tempted to agree, but I think Russel hasn't gotten many chances to prove himself and LeClerc will also probably be wicked fast soon. I think George and Max would be pretty close in similar machinery with Charles not too far off.
Ye, gasly and albon couldnt drive that red bull
@@Kranberry777 They may be in the top 3, but I believe Max just MAXES out any chance he has, he is ridiculously proficient. And like people said here, he just adapts to any car and condition like nothing, still think about Brazil 2016
I agree but it’s obvious that the current Red Bull is specifically catered to Max’s needs and driving style
This lap was so clean that my whole laundry was done just by watching it 😅
If I'd been along for the ride, I would have needed to do my laundry after that.
Hahahaha 👍🏻👍🏻
@@tomindenver1331 It would have been done in 2 minutes flat.
This lap makes it clear how fair it is this guy is driving F1 in a top team.
He's not for nothing the best F1 driver on the grid.
@@Marc98338 Probably 2nd or 3rd.
Driving in a top team is not what makes Max a fast sim racer. He is both a gamer and a racer which means his skills or knowledge of how to get the most from the car are relatable between real and sim. Some real world drivers that don't play sims much or not at all can become real fast in a game if they are able to adapt, but there are also plenty of racing drivers that can not make the transition because of the lack of G Forces and so do poorly because they are trained to feel the car and reacting to it, as apposed to seeing a slide and reacting to it as in the case of driving on a monitor.
A lot of the younger folk these days are fast in game and in real life as todays kids are brought up with computer games so the transition is much easier for them. For the older generation it is more of a problem so finding one of these guys that are fast in real life and the game are more spread out than kids of today.
@@nvstewart talent makes him fast, practicing the game makes him fast in that
@@AlexGLM845 2nd or 3rd? LOL
He was nearly flat from the cutting to skyline. What a freak.
This is on iracing I’m pretty sure
@@hornfan722 yea but still
@@hornfan722 lol how did you know?
@@Ronline26 are you being sarcastic? it says in the description
@@MatthewSomethingOrOther tbh it looks really good, I thought it was irl until I read this then read the description and rewatched.
This guy should be a real life racing driver with that skill
kek funny
Well he is a real life driver with that great skill. ASK Gasly and Albon and next Perez how it is to race against HIM!!!! 😁😁😁
@@thebaldyman1000 Hate to break it to you, but I was joking. Why would you click this video without knowing who Max Verstappen is?
Can you imagine what this guy could do in an F1 car?
@@Panzer_Runner Many many many people don't know him.
That's a keeper for the all-time-great-laps archive.
2 minutes flat, unreal pace, Bathurst, at night, in a GT3 car not Formula1. Top tier, godly driver
10-15 out of the top 20 Drivers in the world are in Formula 1.
@@anshumankakralia7542 rally drivers would like to speak with you
@@maninbots2601 I'm not wrong, everyone knows it.
@@anshumankakralia7542 yes and no. 10-15 top circuit racers in especially formula cars. But you can’t say that globally. Especially if you also consider types of motorsports like the mentioned rallying. Or hillclimb racers. Or Rally raid, or NASCAR,____, the list is long
If he took an F1 car around here he'd probably be hitting like 1:34's or something. My best F1 lap at Bathurst is 1:38.256 and there's so much more time to gain.
Laughing out loud at how perfect this lap was. Unreal.
Someone's gotta get this dude a real life ride. He's bonkers.
🤣🤣🤣
enjoy this moment before someone gets all mad about how he already does lmao.
yeah some simracers can be very fast in a real car, they just need an opportunity
@@alejandrogambardella4168 some do not have the physicality for real racing
Emmm dude
He really is the Max Verstappen of iRacing!
Once this man gets his championships, I really hope he pulls and Alonso and jet sets around the world racing whatever looks cool!
Indy 500, LeMans 24h, Nurburgring track record and Pike's Peak would be my first choices but I can barely parallel park :)
Well that first F1 championship is in the bag
I want to see Max do the Dakar one day
Misty eyed bullshit, i love reading stuff from people who clearly havent got a fucking clue what they are talking about.
@@Chris-xl6pd What?
He's basically in freefall for 200m of the downhill.
Love this comment, especially as a glider pilot. You're totally right... He's falling down the mountain and managing his energy and vector the whole way. It's goddamn art. 😎👍
Well, free fall isn’t exactly the best word to use. In free fall, the only force acting upon a body is gravity. There’s something else here though: Max’s massive balls to nail this lap so well
@@smk6469 G'day mate. Glider pilot here as well (been a while though). Great comparison! Max's feel for conservation of energy and weight shift is simply amazing.
@@gabehowe2778 It's in a sim, so no "massive balls" required. Just god given talent!
@@gabehowe2778 no it's not.. You still have air resistance.
This dude seems to be good at this simracing thing. Wonder if he could compete IRL with such skill in simulator.
hahah so funny dude omg I wonder how he would do IRL hahaha so funny!!!! Pathetic.
@@waty0usay1 look up "Jann Mardenborough"
Went from digital racing to real racing thanks to his skills in Gran turismo...
I'm guessing you're 60 years old or something.
@@mohammedsalimahmed5230 you do know who Max Verstappen is right?
@@waty0usay1 this is why you still live with your mom
He can probably put some pressure on Jahmilton and end the Mercedes dominance
His corner exits are always incredible and aggressive!! He breathes racing!!
Driving a GT3 car must feel like a Sunday drive along the coast to high-level drivers like Max...he is an absolute monster!
1:16 look at that aggression when he goes to the left
He uses every inch of the track and with such confidence and throttle and brake control . Great driver in anything
Extremely tight lap. Driven in the dark. Watching this i imagined sitting next to him in the passenger seat. Exactly the cameraview. So tight. one lap. Kabooooom. This man is a perfect race algorythm machine. Amazing a human being can melt together with the machine like this, this way. Sitting next to him i would be blow away by adrenaline, but i would trust him completely.
Would you also give him top bruh? Chill
@@urbly2638 im saying LMFAO
young blud is obsessed
This is a mind blowing lap
Just wow! His lines are perfect, and the braking.,.I was pressing the brake pedal sat on the sofa! 😱😂💯💪👍
This is the iRacing version of the Greg Murphy's Lap of the Gods
"AND HE HAS DONE IT!"
"THAT IS BLISTERINGLY FAST, WOW"
Not even the track record on iRacing for GT3. It’s 1:59 last time I checked.
@@dunnock343 That's during the day, this was at night..
iRacing id a horrible game
@@loveisblindness1352 Night is always better it’s optimal at night because the air is cooler so track temp is lower
This guy's skill is incredible. He should be in F1.
Is he not?
@@markcamobell4860 Pretty sure he's joking dude... at least I hope so. 😆
@@markcamobell4860 hes not yet, hes still competing in f3 but hes leading the championship right now
@@didyouknow5648 Not anymore
@@vectro4284 yep he's now competitng in f2 and he's leading the championship right now
Wow I'm stunned. The speed and precision he lapped this at night. What skills and track memory. I'll share this.
I won my split here last week and it was awesome and we put in time around this place and through all the hours never came as close to the walls as him. What a lap.
This track is insane to start with. Max is even better than we knew...
Wow! It's great that you can compare your lap to a f1 driver's and realize how fast and precise his driving is.
Mighty Max going for the crown this year! I keep studying this video it's a work of art.
2.5 seconds faster than my best ever time and he had 2 laps to do it. Man how omg
His Raw Speed omg
Is your best in night settings?
id be very happy to get within 5 secs of this lol
Well he is a F1 driver, so thats not so surprising
A lifetime of practice
Max's skills with a car, virtual or otherwise, truly are exceptional. He will be lethal in 2022 now that he's won a WDC.
This aged well!
bro predicted the whole season 😂
He'll lose it in '23. Don't worry.
@@JT-ko2ib he won the season opener already with a massive gap
@@JT-ko2ib So about that
Verstappen is also on sim bloody quick. 🥵
I'm quicker!!! Because I have the skills Niki Lauda once had!!!! I've watched videos about him, I learned, I analysed and I was doing training to drive like him... so Max should not encounter me in a online lobby in GT Sport because I would literally destroy him
@@AppleLauda_destroyer99942 and than you wake up. BUMMER!!! 😂
@@michaelsteel8059 once I go maximum attack, literally no one can stop me
@@AppleLauda_destroyer99942 and I destroy you on gt sport 😅 so am I the best in the world then?

If anything this video proves that Max Verstappen is a robot from another planet...probably.
Me watching this with a 2.04 in daylight....this dude is amazing
Me with a 2:02, in the daylight, in ACC of all sims. Granted my average lap time is a 2:04, 2:05 with race fuel. Max is mad fast
The tracks always faster in the dark
@@iracingrookie3301 As one certain russian drifter said - "Walls approach closer in the night"
@@iracingrookie3301 Ofcourse but then again ; its harder to miss your markers at night. Speciall in Circuits like this where is all turns no straights :) At least for me.
@@sandalogaming6766 2:01.78 on my friends rig after 20 min getting used to it. in an R8 GT3 same as this (daytime tho)
The guy is a driving God! Soooo excited about this season
Underrated comment!
This season turned out pretty well, didn't it? Hahaha
I always new Max was a crazy good driver but I never watched F1. I tuned in for this season from start to finish for the first time. To say that I was thrilled when he won is an understatement.
I've didn't realized it is SimRacing till i read the complete video title... looks awesome!
His critics think he's not a good driver. Even in the sim in a racing code he doesn't participate in in real life, he's unbelievably fast.
Well, wow... through my simracing years i've been beaten alot by Mount Panaroma, and seeing this lap in the freakin dark!?! Just wow. Well done Max, keep sharp!
I was so amazed by the driving that almost forgot it was FREAKING NIGHT TIME TOO.
Mad Max at Mad Panorama. Ohhhh boy, what a lap!
Very special driving, that is difficult to repeat for others.
Max is way more of a "slow in, fast out" guy rather than a "highest minimum speed through the turn" guy.
Yeah he is. Checo seems to be more of a fast in the corners guy. Max’s exits are usually faster.
Would love watching Verstappen in one of the GT-classes irl. Like 24h-Spa or something, he's like the circuit version of Colin McRae.
If only we could’ve seen him in GT1 or Group C type cars, his adaptability as a driver would’ve shined even brighter than it does now
That was Awesome! My best night lap is a 2.08 & even if I had his data & setup I couldn't even come close to 2.00. I can't wait to see him race there for real after F1, pretty sure he's very interested in the future. Could you imagine, Max, LeClerc, Russell & Danny Ric, all in different cars? What a race!
he could even beat mercedes 🤣
The best i got in lambo at night was 2:02.4. Just the millimetre precision he had to almost touching the wall
I didn't even know it was possible to take the turn at 1:14 like that. I got a lot to learn
I actually think I could watch him drive all day. Sim, F1 car does not matter straight poetry. Verstappen and Leclerc setup to be a Prost vs Senna rivalry
The car placement on every piece of the track and his braking/throttle input are unreal.
Its crazy how iracing has mapped car and track. I ran this last week in ferrari and the gears, off throttle, dips, cambers..areas of wheelspin all same.
Max is simply the best driver out there right now, he is unbelievable talented. Insane lap, thumbs up for the kid
@yusuf kocaman lmao just noticed that, im native spanish speaker and somehow "the" write it as "de" cause thats how it literally sounds 😂
jesus. how do these guys get so close to the wall without 0x :D
"this guy" the rest ist 0,5sec or more behind😮
@@kart2000 i know. insane
there is a safe limit between the wall and the car probably 2cm even 1cm once you start to practice you will make it without crashing the hardest part is the position of the car, even you can drive at night without lights and im not joking
I feel like if I don't sit down and study this to fully to appreciate the genius here then I have done a disservice to you posting it. Absolutely insane.
Now imagine his lap time in optimum conditions with the track about 28c
Driving at night is faster than during the day. The ambient temp is cooler which means the air is thicker, more power.
@@stagger87 Yeah typo, was talking ambient temp, meant air. Corrected.
It's just a known fact that a car travels faster in colder ambient. Yes it's dark but the best drivers aren't bothered by this, and yes colder track but tyres are warmed up more to compensate.
Once both those things are taken into account, the extra horsepower gained by driving in colder air far outweighs the very small loses from night and cold track, car in the hands of a professional like the bloke in the video.
@@stagger87 Colder air means higher air density. Higher air density means one can inject more fuel (while trying to stick to an ideal fuel/air mix ratio of around 1:15 depending). That in turn causes bigger boom and generates more power. No clue where you got that "thicker oil" argument from but it's irrelevant. Don't know about iRacing but it might not even include air temp/air density in their engine power simulation.
Boa noite !!!!
Simplesmente o Melhor da atualidade.
Volta fantástica.
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal.
Abraço do Brasil.......
Just talking overall pure raw speed and ability: max verstappen has to be considered top 10 in f1 history. Yes i said it even at his age.
I MIGHT agree...
Top 10? First of all, impossible to compare across eras.
Max is, however, the absolute fastest driver over one lap in F1 right now and in recent history at least (post 2000s).
He's getting there
He makes iRacing looks like GT Sport
That is just a ridiculous lap 😮 & at night too what a weapon
He is most definitely in the zone
Great feeling, aint it... :)
I have the same when I go kart racing. Not as good as Max tho, but I usually end up in the top 3.
Man how he hits Murray's and Forrests Elbow so well is crazy. Murrays is the most deceptively difficult corner around i think
How perfect to the inch was that lap, wow!!
Sweet Lord
oh hi the greatest technician that's ever lived
My guy wants to dominate both the real and virtual world... No one is safe
The fact that this was at night just makes it even more insane, this max Verstappen guy would definitely have like 3 world championships if he was an F1 driver
Definition of smooth
This is the definition of a "masterclass" 😯
For everyone saying it would be faster during the day, cars are faster when it's cooler, this would probably be a 1-2 secs slower in the daytime.
Still an insanely quick lap, on one of the most difficult tracks in the world, by a driver of a generation.
That was badass! Awesome circuit!
I swear, I can’t even tell which of these racing videos are real or sims anymore
Just nailed it at the top of the hill, nobody ever does that really
“You” don’t *
I love this track, and good lap 🤤
This is unbelievable. Best lap ever my god
This shows Max Verstappen is the best driver on the planet, not only at F1! To compete and outqualify pro simracers 0,4 s on his pole lap is an amazing achievement.
Max is a dominated Driver, no matter F1, get him in LMP or GT3 and he will be winning all time! great drive by the the way, on night a 2.0 lap very insane!
Wow I pray for Sergio this year. No one can touch his pace.
If he stays within a few tenths of a second he does well. He can win races and score lots of podiums
Perez got this.
Red Bull has worked a lot on the car's handling over the winter. Checo said the car was pretty easy to drive during the Silverstone shakedown.
This course is challenging enough, let alone being at night with no track lights! This guy has some big onions!
Jesus...that really is a perfect lap.
I get Jeddah feelings seeing this 😍
do u remember Alonso's reaction?
How the hell could anyone thumbs down this video?
Danni Kvyat because Max stole his girl
LeClerc probably
Lulu was here!
I struggled to understand it wasn't real for the firsts 30 seconds
I thought it was real till people started talking about sim racing. It’s honestly scary how far graphics have come
The interior looked real the road looked fake lol
Unbeliavable ... no need to say more
This guy is from another planet, mega lap
I bet this guy could be a double F1 champion if he had the chance
Perfect lap.👍
I now have a better understanding of why Gasly and Albon got steamrolled. Will happen to Sergio too.
This is an interesting comment. More so for the future of whatever driver RB put in the #2 spot.
Do they just accept that Max is so much faster. Or keep pushing other drivers beyond their limits in the hope they can be consistently within 2 tenths a lap.
True. He's considered by almost everybody in the paddock the best on the grid.
It's not about Sergio fighting for number 1, its for Sergio being reliable and consistent in case (and seems inevitably) when Max crashes/has car issues. Sergio needs to be there up right behind Max to represent RB in a fighting chance for podiums.
Sergio is very good at politics though. Gasly, Albon, not so much.
Night is crazy tho what the hell
The guy is just made to race.
There are aliens, and then there is Verstappen. He must be the god of all aliens 🧐
I actually thought this is a real life footage, goodness gracious
I don't think you can get a better lap than that. Wow
I think he just broke the world record
Max GOATstappen
Drives like a true world champion.
Could you imagine what this guy could do in a merc in f1
Probably about the same as Lewis, maybe half a tenth quicker in qualifying and not as quick in the race.
@@stefanroseEP3 Like George Russell did?
@@MartinGonzalez-ki8kn yeah I don't see him bein much if any better than George, they're both top tier

While i can do 1.59s in gt sport, in iracing i havent broken 2.02, insane night lap!
its too smooth... wow

It took me longer than I’m willing to admit to realise this was a video game 😅
He even does it bindfolded!
"So how fast can you go?"

Holy crap that really is an insane lap 😵
The perfect lap😍
