180hp per cylinder. Hard to find such a figure outside of drag racing...
Well roon, real big engines do easily beat it, & in motorsport, hard-tuned Reno air-race machines do too, of course..
"Well, we knocked the bastard off!"
Ed Hilary on being 1st to top Mt Everest,
(& 1st to do a surface traverse across Antarctica,
in good Kiwi style - riding a Massey Ferguson farm
tractor - with a few extemporised mod's to hack the task).
Porsche only published onboard footage of a 1:43,5! In order to make this video I rendered their video at a speed of 102%, which shortend the 1:43,5 to approximately 1:41,7 (which is the actual new track record)
Looks like they extended the side skirts for their Spa run. Bonus points for those who can explain why the compressor has 3 pipes entering it from the airbox. Multi stage? BOV returns?
The new photos by Roon allowed me to notice something: Are the rear suspension pushrods active in some way? They sure look like more than a simple pushrod. Active ride height maybe? I think I am seeing independent left and right dampers and a third heave unit, so ride height seems like all that's left...

I have seen an information that 919 evo has rear axle steering, but I cannot find it again to confirm the source.
It's a brake bias that changes with speed. F1 used to have brake migration if I remember correctly, although that was purely hydraulic brakes. In the hybrids, I think the system changes the amount of brake energy harvesting to maintain balance as speed drops.
If you are more fortunate than others, build a larger table not a taller fence.
It's very very easy headlines for porsche,and I dont like that.
If the ppl would make a car to drive as fast as possible around spa or nordschliefe,
Porsche 919 is damn dumptruck.
So I am happy that a F1 team heavyle bounded by rules, show the world that 919 is just a piece of ---, and nothing more than cheap way of getting attention.
Porsche did some maths and was like hej, this is easy attention.
Well good its short lived and cleaned up.
919 will only break records that are not seriously contented, so Porsche need stop bullshiting with easy headlines
Let them do something useful and let set real records, not ones that are up for grasp. Because no else cares
If ppl want they can make car that looks like a batmobile, and is twice as fast as any know car on those circuits.
But there is none interested, so there no competition.
If there is no competition there nothing to win,
So Porsche must not do like they did something special because they didn't
What you think would happens if a company like merc would build a car with no rules, then every record wil be broken......50%faster
Then you would have a real record, not something Porsche came up with
