Porsche was spotted today turning fast laps at the Nürburgring with their now-unrestricted 919 Hybrid Evo Le Mans prototype.

Apparently 919 Evo is rumored to achieve a sub 5 minute Nurburgring lap

I'm liking that 93 in GTE Pro a lot. Pilet, Tandy, and Bamber in one car? :megusta:

Here's hoping for some Jenson and Alonso wheel to wheel action. These two.

GM came out and blamed this on “the weather”.

It was 80 degrees and sunny as fuck.
Ha. Don’t drive your Vette in 80 degree perfect weather it’s dangerous af.
He probably had the tires waxed.

The 919 Evo is the most ridiculous thing to happen to motor sports in a long time.

They went out to obliterate the track record with that thing. Expect an announcement for #SportscarTogether day and 70th anniversary celebrations for this Saturday.

I’d be amazed to see a 4:XX lap, but after seeing the GT3RS do its thing... who knows.

So P1 class going away in 2020 for WEC. Replaced with what’s essentially hyper-car shaped P1’s. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/motors ... -mans-2020

Charlie was unsure what to think about beer. LeMans at night is the relevant content.

They're playing the lap over and over again on my screens in the showroom. It's mind bendingly fast.

The amount of balls and tunnel vision to have an AVERAGE speed of 145mph blows my mind.
That's fucking video game fast.
