369 km/h on the Nordschleife | Lap Record Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo

Through the Green Hell at 369 km/h: Experience the fastest lap ever driven on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

5:19.546 on the stopwatch Timo Bernhard (37, Germany) crossed the finish line of the Nürburgring-Nordschleife this morning at the wheel of the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo. With this achievement, the two-times Le Mans winner has beaten the lap record on the revered 20.832 kilometre long German race circuit that stood for 35 years. On May 28 in 1983, Stefan Bellof lapped the world-renowned track with a Porsche 956 C in a legendary time of 6:11.13 minutes.

I don’t think most people understand how astronomically insanely fucking impressive this is.

[edmmitch]

This leads me to believe that I can achieve literally anything in life with enough downforce

[ZachACameraGuy]

The fact that this thing is almost 1 minute faster than the second fastest car in the track record is mind blowing. In the race world that's ETERNITY.

[dadcooks]

The driver said that the car could go much quicker, he was the limiting factor, his body couldn’t withstand the G forces. That’s insane.

I would've driven this lap quite differently - starting with turn 2, where I would've put it straight into the opposing wall.

[Hless]

I don't even have the balls to drive this fast in a video game...

[Apptrailers]

I wore my helmet while watching this video just to be safe

[nodafy]

The acceleration coming out of corners when it gets on the boost is absolutely insane.. It's hard to comprehend

[JirinaBrada]

Average speed 234.59 km/h, wow. I watched this on the toilet, just to prevent shitting my pants.

The best thing is when you look at the hood cam it seems so stable, like the car is riding on rails and the driver is just effortlessly trashing it around at over 300kph, but when you see the onboard with the drivers head shaking and bouncing violently due to the cornering forces and bumps on the track, it just becomes clear what a visceral and extreme lap this is. An absolute feat of engineering and driving skill, truly incredible.

[albertweedsteinthethuggeni]

I was right behind it in my ford fiesta and can confirm this record is legit

[budel]

I did the route once in about 18 minutes. And today (20 years later) my knees still tremble when I think about it. My greatest respect to the engineers and even greater respect to the driver's performance.

[duncan]

This guy doesn't fear death, death fears him.

[Nuphs]

This guy finished the lap younger in age by a couple seconds.

[markeetea]

When you think about it, the physics makes sense. The car was designed around a low center of gravity, in which the heaviest part was located midline of the car and between the drivers legs. lol

[dasistunmoglich]

Coming back every once in a while. I dont get it. How is his brain processing that fast. Timo killed it.

[Sabsabi]

he told his friend he'll be there in five minutes, and he kept his word.

[blackflagqwerty]

I've never seen that final straight annihilated like that before. 250-369 in 5 seconds. 😱

[DobixIdealSound]

This is so fast it looks like its speed up. Damn. Amazing car. But most important, amazing driver.

[mattress]

Can you imagine the immense concentration this man must have had
