But how did Porsche make the 919 faster than even the latest F1 cars? What rules did Porsche need to ignore to turn an LMP1 car into a machine capable of being the fastest car ever to lap the Nurburgring?

The Porsche 919 was a dominant machine in the World Endurance Championship’s LMP1 category, winning 17 of the 33 races it took part in and winning three championships in a row from 2015 to 2017.
It was a truly ground-breaking car, with an astonishingly efficient V4 engine and one of the most advanced hybrid systems ever.
After winning Le Mans three times over, the time came for Porsche to retire the 919 and with that, their LMP1 campaign. So Porsche looked for a way to give it the send-off it deserved.

My man made an entire video dedicated to the Porsche 919 Evo just to say it still couldnt beat his lap record. Mad respect
-
"the only record this car didn't beat was my record" what a flex
-
"It has beaten every lap record except for mine" (paraphrased) is one of the most badass things racers can say
-
I love how one of the limiting factors of going any faster than this is not necessarily engineering but not having your neck not snap from the G forces. Bonkers.
-
Car companies: can't beat porsche's nurburgring record Porsche: fine, I'll do it myself
-
This man Literally just casually said: "It broke every record (except mine *cough*)"
-
6:04 "the only lap record that the Evo didn't beat is at brands hatch where I hold the outright record" Damn bro you just straight up flexed on us 😂 that's awesome
-
I subbed as soon as I realised who this guy was narrating the video. For those that are not familiar, his name is Scott Mansell, no relation to Nigel Mansell, and holds the record at Brands Hatch (short circuit) from 2004 when he was 18/19 years old and held records at Siverstone, Donington Park, Zolder and Lausitzring. This is pretty incredible to hear! :D
-
This man trained for 2 months doing neck workouts. Never miss a neck day
-
Can we just appreciate that it has a 700hp V4? What is my V6 even doing?!
-
Honestly this makes F1 cars look even more impressive, given that they took the Spa lap record back not long after, and the gap wasn't that large to begin with considering this was a no-reg car against F1 which is heavily regulated.
-
Watch the lap, it’s unreal. The boost on the car gets it up to 300kmh almost immediately.
-
I love how you say "Porsch". To a German it sounds as saying "Toyot", "Mitsubish" or "Chevrol" :D
-
“Where I have the lap record” Damn bro. You’re the man I guess.
-
daily german reminder, its porschE, the e at the end is not silent
-
Fantastic summary of all the engineering upgrades, thanks!
-
The fact that Andreas Seidl is responsible for the 919 gives me so much hope for McLarens future.
-
How many YouTubers say "I have the lap record"?..... Others speculate what it would be driving fast and this guy has done that for real, hats off
-
6:04 I feel like you don’t need to be quite that humble here. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻Impressive on many levels… love that trac
-
that video was suuuuper informative!! great job well done!
