McLaren P1 LM (road-legal P1 GTR) Nürburgring laptime

So, Lazante Motorsport just uploaded a McLaren P1 LM Nürburgring laptime video:



Time to discuss & repeat in AC.

 

What are the red and green lights?

 

Might be indicating the delta. Appears to be the same built-in timing device that's in the P1 GTR track car.

 

that steering wheel is ghastly

 

Looking at that lap I can't help but think that with less mistakes/issues during the lap and a better setup this thing could be even faster.

 

Only two seconds faster than the Pagani Zonda R seven (!) years ago.

The Zonda had 247hp less but had a slightly better power to weight ratio (the P1 GTR LM by Lanzante is lighter than the P1 GTR and has more downforce) - and Pagani made the Zonda R Evolución and later the Zonda Revolución with more power and even better aero so those would easily be quicker than this and it just sounds wayyyyyyyy better

Not impressed at all. :^)

 

The Pagani Zonda R was on slicks.

 

Cool video & thanks for sharing. It would be interesting to see one of you Nords specialists doing an AC comparison. I havnt driven the P1 GTR for very long however the little I did just could not get on with it.. I am ok with big HP however it was really embarrassing

 

Haha, I read your post and skipped over it, thinking "yeah whatever, they all have idiotic steering wheels these days, how bad can it be?".
Then I looked at the video … LOL *headagainstwallsmiley*

 

What he did with his left hand on main straight? Amazing lap.

 

The P1 gtr hasnt even been out for very long, its been out for only 9 days I think.

 

@martcerv - true Marty, ill give it another 9 days and see if i grow some balls & skills..

 

Solving a Sudoku because he got bored.

 

Massaging a little cramp out of his left thumb and palm of hand it seemed ... that car seems to generate brutal feedback towards the arms .

 

... IPAS / KERS-style hybrid go-faster button located in that location?

 

Dunno, maybe the left glove got stuck in the paddle? He had issues with shifting earlier that lap too (and could've been 1-2 seconds faster easily), might be something with the paddles.

That would be a button on the front of the steering wheel I think. Should be visible on the "normal" P1 GTR in AC.

 

In AC, it's the DRS button.

 

If this is a WR hotlap vid, why did he come to a near stop at Adenauer Forst? He dropped it down into 2nd, and went on the far right side of the track when the racing line on corner exit is on the left side near the kerb. Pretty odd. Lots and lots of short-shifting too. Almost all his upshifts were in a low enough rpm range that the rev lights hadnt even illuminated the earliest colors Cant imagine the car breaks traction that easily in 5th, or 6th gear

 

Yeah, this is a slow lap, there's at least 10 seconds in that lap.Impressive car nonetheless, but we are reaching the line on the "road legal" stuff.

 

Cool story. GT1 cars from the past would be also quicker than P1 and your Pagani. Even nowadays GT3's which are heavier and have less power will get better laptimes than those two. It's just not comparable. Not to mention different between P1 road legal tires and Zonda slicks which is not the same. And no, Trofeo's are not cutted slick tires.
