Ferrari LaFerrari vs Mclaren P1 vs Porsche 918

yes, that would work too. just so i can follow this thread without hearing about tires anymore. its been repeated ad infinitum already and we are more than aware. we actually dream about those cheating trofeos while we are awake. lol

 

Hyper 5, Part 2 is out…

Alejandro is teasing us to deat, by not giving laps times for another week…

But unscientifically, things don’t look good for the P1. After the next corner the gaps seems even bigger, but this “7” looks like the clearest marker for all the cars…

at the last corner,

918 1:09.XX
P1 1:11.XX

 

I know which one of the cars looked more like a handful. Probably beacuse of the cheap and unprecise brakes simulated limited slip diff? Like you get on your hatchback?

 

I timed as best as I can p1 , 918 and laf laps
It turned out 918 - 1:18,05
Laf 1:18,42
P1 1:18,64
Did my best but i am pretty sure the porsche won p1 and laf are pretty damn close either way

 

I wonder how was the p1 in supercardriver's test faster than the 918 around Silverstone and here seems like a completley different story

 

My friend, where do you see a completely different story? The difference between the fastest and the slowest at that Silverstone test was less than a second. In other words, that test was almost a tie. Now you have a different track, different driver... The result is completely normal.

 

They are all evenly matched. What was most surprising to me was the Porsche only managing 150 down the straight while the Huayra managed 158. Something seemed off with the telemetry though. I guess next week we'll see.

 

The video doesn't match up. Look at the speedometers. The P1 is further away from the "7" in the video, yet the speed is 153 mph while the 918 speed is 129 mph.

 

Don't cry, P1 fanboy. The 918 whooped the ugly P1 on every fair comparison test.

 

Why was the LaFerrari not in race mode?

As you can see on the onboard it was in the sport mode.


Don't want to say anything but that driver didn't look to be on it.

Unless they did lot of lap in between to average best lap time.

 

I would imagine the driver had plenty of warm up laps as well as several timed laps with each car - whether the video shown is only of the fastest laps, I'm not sure.

 

LOL. What's it like being in your mid-20s, or even 30s, and talking like a 14 year old? Go join the Forza forum where you can talk about cars you'll actually ever get any experience with.

 

It's just video footage. It's probably composed of footage from tons of laps and angles.

No times associated with the video but it's pretty cool.

 

It really looks to be in race mode to me.

 

Even the Race Mode slows down the car. A capable driver should drive it in CT Off mode when doing hot laps.

 

?
If the Race Mode slows down the car, what is the point of having it?

 

who is this guy that hosts the show? never heard of him yet he managed to put this together and has pretty good/expensive production values

 

alejandro is a hollywood producer from what i understand. check out is youtube channel salomondrin. im a big fan of it as its not your typical "wow this is an awesome car heres all the specs the company told me to tell you" types of reviews. hes driving his actual cars and talks from his personal experiences and feelings.

it seems some of the older crowd isnt as fond as I am about him because he isnt formal at all, but for a late 20s guy like me, he is relatable and refreshing.

 

So the less experienced drivers can feel they are driving like their favorite F1 pilots

 

He's a Hollywood producer? LOL. I work closely with people in the business and none of us have heard of him. I love how the internet can just distort things out of proportion.

 

You can google him, there's some info about the movies he's produced, it's obscure stuff though. Nothing he has done, however, would lead me to believe he can afford the toys he has (918, Carrera GT, 675 LT, Singer 911, Pagani Huayra, etc.). I never like to assume a persons financial position, but either he is flat broke from his obscene spending habits or is making income in ways we don't know. He has $5+mm of cars (his cost) in his driveway though without a doubt.
