He did take the high line. Although he may have put a bit of wheel in it? Maybe just close.

The video is on YouTube.

They really are wusses

There was minimal kerb for most of the lap, but the kerbs are relatively dramatic there and that car works best on the flat.

I’ve watched it again. It’s even better

The wide FOV (field of view) in the onboard must be an intentional choice, it kind of improves the sense of speed, but it also makes it harder to separate acceleration from deacceleration. So now it looks more like it is going the same speed all the time.

I watched it at work this morning too! I had to watch the clock a couple times because I could have sworn it was being played in fast forward.

The original idea was this was the proper line as the other portion is a drainage ditch...

Off topic, more road courses need high banks in some corners!!

Cool, thanks. I have watched the last 2 editions of the Nurburgring 24 hours, but I find this a very hard track to memorize. More than Le Mans, more than any other track I have ever watched a race at.
I think I'll manage to remember the name of that long straight now

ROFL, that is awesome! I did expect to see a hatchback in the armco ahead of the Porsche at some point on the record lap, but I guess they have the $ for private testing!

Goodwood will have an interesting battle between the 919 EVO and the VW ID R Pikes Peak soon.

GasperG has a lot of promise if they can keep it on the circuit!
This will be interesting, average speed is a little lower (~160 kmh), so it may be I.D. R benefit, but Porsche is more tuned up race car, you can't ignore 5 years of development and fine tuning.

My bet is on 919.

Porsche said that they're done with records after the Nurburgring run, the press release after that lap record said that pretty explicitly. I guess they'll only do a slow-speed demo run at Goodwood. The ID.R on the other hand is explicitly noted to be going for a proper timed run.

Win what? Doesn't look like the 919 is going for a 'record run' so it's up to the Pikes Peak ID.R which they admitted might not break the record by Heidfeld. So there's no guaranteed win at all.

The entire Goodwood FoS is a "media stunt". But it also allows us to look at nice cars.

I hope they still have a crack at Laguna Seca.

Goodwood doesnt phase me if they just do a demo run. I'm pretty convinced the 919 Evo is capable of taking the outright record in the right hands anyway.

Speaking of Porsche LMP1 I'more interested in the first public appearance of 9R3 Projekt
