This is the Porsche that was faster than F1, and smashed a 35-year-old Nurburgring lap recordā¦ Iāve spoken about it before, but this time I got an interview with the Technical Project Lead - to understand exactly HOW Porsche did it.
And itās crazy stuff, itās almost the real-life version of my āF1 with no rulesā video from a few weeks ago. They took their already, extremely fast LMP1 car, and made it over 12 seconds faster at Spa -- thatās 11%, a huge amount in motorsport.

"Porsche beat everyone, but me", man, I'd never stop saying that. My wife would leave me and my family would disown me, but I'd never stop saying it.
-
I actually never knew you held the Brands hatch lap record. Props to you mate.
-
Casually flexes creating a record on brands hatch circuit š¤Æšµāš«
-
I would love to see a no-limits category with tiny budget cap. Like $100,000 per car. Imagine the innovation.
-
Dude, don't stop mentioning your record. That's something to be proud of.
-
Very cool of Porsche to allow this project, and give it enough budget and freedom to succeed.
-
Taking a space ship of a race car to laguna seca and only taking 2 seconds off a track record set by an indycar with no power steering from the time of grainy tv footage is mental and a testament to how good some race cars were.
-
Driver61, the only driver to beat the 919 Evo. Still not as good as me of course but still good
-
Me: knows nothing about cars Also me: worth watching.

23:09 "brake by wire or BBW" JAJAJAJJAJAJA
-
I knew about this, but was surprisingly interested throughout the video in learning exactly how. Great details and interviews!
-
This is one of the best videos youāve done on a specific vehicle. Thank you. This is awesome.
-
That Mazda š¶ though. Porsche: šµ āļø

Seeing this car in action at Rennsport Reunion in 2018 was unbelievable. It clocked 188 mph at the Laguna Seca speedtrap. Anyone who has been there knows the speed trap isn't that far up the main straight. Rocketship does not describe the 919 Evo, and seeing it up close in the paddock was something I will never forget.
-
The high tire pressure in the corners is a must. I noticed this on motorcycle tires as well.
-
If they used wheel covers, would it go faster?
-
I was in the crowd at Brands Hatch when you broke that record over 20 years ago. It was great to watch.
-
Love these videos dude. Would like to see your driving more too!
-
I frigging love the 919 Evo, such a wild project even with the time and budget constraints. Managing to push the carbon tub and tires to their limit just from aero gains is just wild haha.
-
Bravo Scott! What an absolutely amazing video! Editing, filming, research, presentation. Totally engrossed from beginning to end. Thanks!
