Dear Gawd! It looks like the film is sped up.

How do you remember all the braking points and downshifting at so many different kinds of corners?

I imagine it becomes kind if mindless, like when you see videos of food truck guys smashing out like 100 hot dogs in 2 minutes or something

...this is just a lot cooler. I do appreciate a fast hot dog though.

It looked like if it had 8th gear it'd pull to 400 km/h no problem

i'm wondering why he took the outside of the first carousel but the bank on the second.

that aside... fucking insane. i have a feeling this record will stand for another few decades unless someone feels like throwing many millions of dollars at it.

Whoa. Read about it this morning, but that in car video is insane. I agree, 8th gear would have put it over the top!

He took the "smooth" line. The more the wheel is turned, the more speed you scrub - the car has 50% more down force than "spec" trim. Plus don't you mean, he took the inside line on the first and stayed off the banking in the second?

FUCK....................................


I just spent 21 mins of my life watching that, and am still in awe...

Timo made that look easy!!!!!!!! Like nothing more than a Sunday drive though the park......

[lambo]

I love seeing him use KERS to pull out of corners like a god damn freight train

Was that fast? I thought that was fast.
