Accelerations and speed are out of this world. Watcing the video is like looking at something played in fast forward speed. Insane indeed !

 

[CrunchSlaughtered]

If it had one gear more the time could be 5-6 sec less (it stays too long on the rev limiter at the straight)

 

[KiwiRob]

I hope toyota have a crack at this record, the TS050 was a faster car than the 919.

This should become an annual event, like Pikes Peak, an annual blast around the Ring to set the best time.

 

[DataHunter]

That's just looney tunes speed.

 

[StartYourEngines]

This car set a time on Spa 0,8 sec faster than Hamiltons F1 lap record from last year. This years F1 are a little faster I think, so a F1 car would probably lap the Ring in 7:20-7:30

It seems that, according to Porsche, the 919 Evo could have gone below 1:40 at Spa.
To me, in its maximum potential I can see the 919 Evo being faster even than the 2018 F1 cars (under F1 rulebook of course, if unrestricted it would be another matter).

Yes and as I understand the LeMans racer are better suited to the bumpy Ring than F1 cars, so a F1 car would in that case be slower around the Ring.

 

[DataHunter]

This is likely the fastest that anything can go around the Nurburgring. I'd say that even the amazing 2004 and 2007 F1 cars would have difficulties matching that time.

LMP1 is faster than F1...

Maybe it will be broken sooner rather than later.

Aston Martin's Adrian Newey-inspired hypercar, the Valkyrie, is so extreme that it could challenge for the outright Nürbugring record, which was broken last week by Porsche Motorsport's 919 Hybrid Evo racing car.

Speaking at the weekend's Austrian Grand Prix, Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner told Racefans that the Valkyrie, not his team's Formula 1 car, stood the best chance of beating the enhanced World Endurance Championship (WEC) racer.

"I’m not sure a Formula 1 car could actually do it, but I think that the Valkyrie — certainly the track version of the Valkyrie — could be a contender," he said.

[bmwz4coupe]

Well they have always claimed it will do laptimes as fast as a F1 car, so then it's logical that it will be close to the new Ring record. It will be interesting to see ehat the street version will manage, 6:11.....?

Of course, Andy has to jump on the media bandwagon, but I can't imagine the Valkyrie coming close to the 919 Evo's time.

Yeah, why oh why didn't they consult with you???

Absolutely impossible.

 

[A.P.]

I can only see AMR track-only version getting close, but not beating it.

The Valkyrie is just a ghost car. Until this thing is actually fully launched and driven on a track then I will believe what he says. I personally don't believe it will be as fast as the 919 around the N-Ring

 

[DataHunter]

If history and disaster movies teach us anything, it's this: never be that guy who says "impossible"

 

[StartYourEngines]

For what we know until now, the power chain should be:

Unrestricted 2018 F1s > Porsche 919 Evo >= Top 2018 F1s > Top 2017 F1s >= Average 2017-2018 F1s > Valkyrie AMR Pro (at least on paper and going by promised figures) > WEC Porsche 919 Hybrid

If truly the Valkyrie AMR Pro will be so fast to potentially be capable to enter the top 10 in the current F1 grid as promised, then it will be an utter monster given that it will still be derived from a road legal car (albeit a mad one, given the specs of the Valkyrie).
Still, as crazy as it sounds, it wouldn't be enough to match the speed of the 919 Evo.

More info on the Porsche 919 Evo:

Porsche Unleashes World's Quickest Race Car And Then Starts Smashing Lap Records

- Up to 5.8Gs for lateral acceleration
- 0-200 km/h in 4 s
- 0-300 km/h < 8 s
- Spa, Eau Rouge taken with 5.5Gs of lateral acceleration and 4Gs of vertical acceleration

5.5Gs at Eau Rouge is brutally 1G more than what 2016 F1 cars used to do, on average (see below, on the bottom right):

Also here, for a further comparison, you can see Vettel pulling 5.0Gs with a 2017 SF70H.
