Bellof cheated by getting into the slipstream of the Rothma’s Porsche just before the long straight...

I haven’t really been following but have watched clips on YouTube. 
Who’s the driver anyway?

Youtube analysis video by Misha Charoudin seemed pretty thorough, sub 4 seemed to depend on how fast it'd cover the straight. Super slippery DRS might see it top 400kph and get under 5 minutes. Utterly fitting to have Porsche not just take the record but throw it completely out of reach of even the hyperist of road cars.

Bumping this thread - what happened to this record smashing attempt? Week goes by and no news. Would be ridiculous if they do a McLaren P1-gate on us.
I expect it may be that they've actually done something totally mind altering like a 5:01 but they want another crack at it to see if they can go sub-5.

So a 5:19.5 is wot it dun.
Pretty staggering but not quite the sub 5 mins some people thought possible after getting a bit too excited.
Given the Bellof lap was really closer to a 6min lap on today’s format, that means the 919 really only shows a progression of a bit more than a second a year (for a non race legal car versus the 956 on a qually lap for a race).

Obviously a staggering time, but pretty dissapointing given the hype and rumours that have been circulating. Sub 5 would have been mind bending.GG. wrote: Fri Jun 29, 2018 8:58 am

It's only a short clip, but it looks like scaletrix writ large. The aero is immense.

Yep. Insanely fast but completely undramatic was my comment.

It looks like it's within spitting distance of just spearing off the track. But it just doesn't.

I wonder if it can harvest enough electrical power throughout the lap to keep it sustained on such a long track.
Also can the car even be driven at full speed round the track? Surely a full lap at qualifying pace will overheat the tyres.
