Slow lap for such high HP.

 

[M.N.D]

I have no idea about this one. It doesn't seem to follow a specific racing class spec, and for a high hp figure, the lap does seem to be slower than it should, but there is traffic that interrupted the car during some segments. However, taking into account is the efficiency (or lack thereof) of the aero package, the gearing, and of course the grip level of the slick tyres.

A GT3 car in racing spec with Michelin slicks and around 500~520 HP laps the Nordschleife in the range of 6:30~6:35 seconds (NLS series reference).

 

[A.P.]

Looks more or less like a Time Attack car now. I think it would be good for a 6:3x run without the traffic and cooler conditions.

That was the weirdest thing. I heard the car going through gears, but the speed barely increased at all. If the speedo isn't broken, it has to have one of the worst lift-to-drag aero packages ever... They say it was running only 900hp on the day because of conditions, but the acceleration was slow even for 900hp. If I didn't know the specs I would guess like 400-500hp. And, mind you, that was acceleration with very short gears that limited the car to 270km/h on the straight, and it weighs only 1200kg. Nevertheless, a cool on-board.

Well, it does 100-200 on the straight after the chicane behind Foxhole in about 5s, faster than Vittel´s GT2 RS MR, so it is definitely not slow. But I would also expect higher speeds in some parts.

"The ZYRUS LP1200 Lamborghini started its life as a "stock" Huracan Super Trofeo, however after many modifications done by Zyrus Engineering, not much left is stock. The V10 engine now has TWIN Turbo's and on it's highest setting, it produces around 1200HP. Combine that with the 1200 kg weight of the car and approx 1200 kg of downforce at full-speed, the Zyrus LP1200 has a 1-1-1 ratio!"

I can't help but think that's probably a lot more drag inducing down force than it needs. It's got the big power required for maintaining high average speeds, but that massive wing probably negates the benefit.

I think the driver held back, on some high speed corners I think it had more DF than he realised.
