On the porky pine the pricks are on the outside (?)

 

[jbombelli]

Damn. That is one hell of a fast car. And that driver is one hell of a driver.

 

[Rusty Shackleford]

Beat the old one by nearly a minute! Wow!

Here’s a 5:53:27 in iRacing. If you haven’t seen what the simulation can do lately it sure ain’t no video game:

Ive ran there on iracing, but honestly the road courses arent my best tracks there. Usually stick with nascar and dirt late models.

I can't manage to concentrate for 5 minutes on too much of anything, how anyone can actually memorize a track that long just amazes me.

Timo's probably run hundreds and hundreds of laps there.

This guy is fast and smooth and the car is for real, for sale and awesome. This must be what it is like to be Sebastian Vettel and start from the back of the pack

My sphincters tightened whenever he got near a motorcyclist, especially when he passed the one guy on a curve. Not that he did anything wrong, but man, one wrong twitch by either and biker is having a bad day.

If you read the comments, he said the 'vette was always in his mirrors but ran low on fuel before the lap was over and had to pull off. I can't wrap my head around that burn rate if he came to the track with a full tank

 

[BugI02]

Its my understanding that on a public track day overtaking is only allowed on the left. Many moons ago (pre-marriage) I did some driving on a team in the Escort Challenge series of SCCA endurance racing, in showroom stock C (CRX Si) and we were out for 12 hours with SSA, SSB, and SSGT cars all at the same time. You really had to be all over your mirrors because some of the closing rates were tremendous, all while fighting your own battle within class. Exhilerating and terrifying at the same time, one of the most addicting things I've ever done (especially since I wasn't paying for the car)

May not have started with a full tank. I don't know how fast a Z06 can suck fuel, but the Hellcat can suck down a full tank in 11 minutes of WoT.

Might not have been his first lap, either. I think its like Disneyland - you can keep lining up to ride the rides until the park closes

You can also pay to be driven around that circuit. There is a group of Mercedes that you can pay to ride in with a pro pilot. There was a woman that did this and she rules that place. Video out there of her coming from the back to win in a Porsche.

So, you watched the French Grand Prix this year?
