I think maybe with Senna's throttle technique you could have gone even faster, as that prevents the rpm to not lower much and prevents some of that turbo lag
Nah, most likely not. The real life conditions and microscopic changing reactions of the car cannot be fully replicated in game. Even if it could, this style is super specific to senna and he could only really make it work with his particular setup preferences and also because he had been using that style since his early karting days, so he knew how to make it work for him. It’s better to drive the way you know rather than completely and radically overhaul it to use an extreme technique.
The technique helps with turbo lag but is mainly used to keep the rear of the car loaded through the middle of corners. Ben Collins (ex-stig) talks about it in one of his videos about how it was used all the way back in his f3 days while racing brundle
Incredible lap as always. I think a couple of wall taps are quite fine. One thing to note though is that the auto-blip assist definitely has a time penalty. I reckon there is a lot of time to be found esp under braking with manual clutch.
So We here Monaco 1988 Pole Lap LONG AWAITED❤️ If we talk about More Retro Poles -Italy 2008 - 1:37.555 (S.Vettel🇩🇪 , STR3) -Britain 1950 - 1:50.8 (G.Farina🇮🇹 , 158) -Germany 1976 (Last Pole in Nordschleife) - 7:06.5 (J.Hunt🇬🇧 , M23) -Belgium 1995 (Last V12 Pole) - 1:54.392 (G.Berger🇦🇹 , 412 T2)
It's fine Tom, on this track and with that car even if you brushed the wall a couple of times it's not a big deal... that last lap was amazing, well done!. I suggest Malaysia 2017, in order to beat Lewis you have to do a sub 90 seconds lap; I would like to see if you can do it.
Tbh for this to be close to irl as possible ( I know it’s dumb to by a H-pattern for 1 vid is dumb) but you’d have to have that, because it makes it quite harder to drive, along with heel and toeing would make this 100x more harder especially if you’d have to learn it
You hate those F2 cars, so I am not going to suggest any Jim Clark or Jackie Stewart pole laps. How about the 1997 European GP? Can you make it 4 cars with the exact same lap time?

true but its still not real life so its harder to implicate it to the game

a shifter is indeed expensive for 1 video but a shifter with manual clutch would be fun and interesting to watch.
Like what I feel like it’s a lap time thing idk why you wouldn’t have a shifter with the type of set up
here are some
- 2000 spa
- 2008 brazil
- 2008 monza
- 1986 adelaide
- 2004 monza (juan pablo montoyas time)
- 2005 turkey
- 2008 singapore
First Lewis Hamilton Pole Lap for Mercedes: China 2013
IIRC using paddle shifters with a manual gearbox car incurs a penalty since the game adds some delay

Tom, you should've tried rFactor 2 just for the Senna lap. rFactor 2 has Monaco laser scanned and a paid MP4/4 Mod.
The Monaco laser scan is for the current layout which is a fair bit faster than how it was in ‘88. Good for any pole laps from 2016 onwards though
Schumacher first pole in Ferrari red

É muito gratificante ver que a galera admira o nosso Senna, orgulho de ser brasileiro, parabéns pelo conteúdo, obrigado! 🇧🇷
I don’t know if it would be possible with the weather but I would love to see the Monza 2008 pole lap.
rosberg's pole lap at silverstone 1985 would be sick
i mean even max touched the wall a few times in his Monaco pole. i personally wouldn't hold it over you tom. great video.
Love the camera movement
Cool video and really cool to hear the iconic engine sound from the Mclaren MP4-4
I've been hoping and waiting for this one!!! Thanks for even attempting it... I know it was a big ask, but thank you 👍👍💯
Cheers
Have you ever done the first F1 pole position lap? Could be fun to go back to where it all began
hell yeah another classic pole lap video
Massa Interlagos '08? 🙏
Senna's proud of you tom you can do it

try to beat the very first pole lap in f1 ever of nino Farina in silverstone in 1950
That thumbnail is 🔥
0:30, are you getting these lap times from the F1 official website or somewhere else?
Seems like the official f1 website
@ Woah I had no idea F1 had an archive of race results since 1950 😳
I wonder if you'll start diving a bit into the endurance world, maybe start off with Kobayashi's Lemans quali record
Please do nordschlife with the 70s F1 cars. Just see how fast those guys were back then
This was the most entertaining retro episode lol
The senna series is awesome
The track is quite inaccurate, compared to real-life back in the day….
U can call this a iconic tom97 video
One of the nicest cars
Suggestion for Can you beat the pole lap: Niki Laudas 1975 German GP Pole Lap
Ah that’s the lap i was waiting for 🎉
YEEEEES, I really love this one. Finaly the one I want.
You hate those F2 cars, so I am not going to suggest any Jim Clark or Jackie Stewart pole laps. How about the 1997 European GP? Can you make it 4 cars with the exact same lap time?
You could try to replicate schumacher's last pole lap in a Ferrari❤
Senna movie make me cry 😢 I very recommmend it
Max Verstappen touched walls when he put it on pole in 2023, who's to say that you can't?
