Bloody nora, the way it gets to 300kmh anywhere there's a straight (and where the straight is long enough just blows through it like it was nothing) is hilarious.

And remember it's generating eleventy tons of downforce while it's piling on the speed - 1200 bhp speaks volumes! 😂

The way it bobs around at top speed on the final straight. How on earth do you keep your foot in when it's doing that to you!

The wing and splitter look totally unsuited to the Nurburgring and it actually has much less power than the 919 - so optimised for a tight hillclimb, not for a track like the Nurburgring where VMAX was 229mph.

I still reckon a 2004 era F1 car would be faster.

I wonder why Porsche didn’t/don’t fit a faster final gear?

I guess they probably know more about race engine than I...

Yeah - go home Porsche with your new so-called "record holder".
