A Stefan Belloff tribute perhaps in the Nordscheliefe?
At the very least, the car could come to a racing game and we could try and beat 6:11 ourselves.I doubt they would do that, why destroy his and their own legacy.
Honestly asking, do you think this lap time target for Spa is achievable?
Sounds like they've smashed their first record already.

This must be some sort of late April Fools... I refuse to believe something this awesome has actually taken place.
And soundly beat a Formula 1 qualifying time.Oh it’s true, it’s damn true.
While the original target of 1:36 was a tad too ambitious, the reality is this.
It’s officially the fastest car to ever lap the Spa circuit, by nearly 8 tenths to boot or for a more comparable stat, pretty much 12 seconds quicker than the pole lap for LMP 1 last year which was set by a 919 at 1:53.756.![]()

Can the relevant developers add this car into GTS/PC2/AC please?![]()
I reckon 8 tenths isn't quite enough to stop the record being broken by an F1 car this year, given the lap time gain we've seen in the first two races this season and the fact that Spa is a long lap. Unless it rains...
Ugh I would LOOOOVE to see a 919 enter a Grand Prix and soundly beat all the delicate F1 cars.

Check out the awesome traction and acceleration. A total monster!
Having just watched that, I have to know who's inside driving this monster.

Meh, I'm disappointed. After all the hype of disregarding the regulations, pakcking the 919 with steroids, the car looking mean as hell, all they can do is beat the insanely regulated F1 cars by 0.7s? F1 will easily take the record back this year if it doesn't rain in quali.
I love the idea, not hugely impressed by the result, unless those were just the inital runs, but seeing how they flaunt this time, it feels like that's it for the Spa stop on the 919 tribute tour.
