The first decade or 2 was about regulations cutting down speed. Later, it’s a respect for Bellof’s record. Bellof’s family approved this record attempt.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I drove a low 5min lap in Gran Turismo 15 years ago. No big deal.

Oh werrrrd ok, that makes sense and is a nice gesture to respect that record.
I don't usually venture out to the Ring in the GT games....I think I might this weekend haha...
...@therealarifjina...
The Ring is the best part of the GT games!
This record is insane. I do want to see what an F1 car could do.

I don't think F1 cars could keep up with this 919 Evo. It has all the restrictions from WEC removed and has some crazy power to weight ratio(1176HP, with a driver @ 888kg) which are better than F1 cars. Also I don't see Hamilton, Alonso, Vettel, etc risking their lives for a lap record here. This takes some huge balls.

Yep 919 is lapping courses faster than F1 cars (See: Spa Francorchamps lap record), and the Nordschleife would smash an F1 car to bits.
Good point, I forgot these cars are really the NEW F1 cars (ie go as fast as you can, no real restrictions).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Based on the various articles for both cars, the VW is giving up 200-250hp, and weighs 500lb more than the 919 so it would be hard to believe it could go faster.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
