My wife uses the same amount of time to reverse into the garage. Fascinating.

[dylan.heaton]

The fact that a human being can be alert, skilled and confident enough to achieve this just bends the brain.

[hydenshribby]

From time to time I come back and rewatch this video because I still can't quite believe what I'm seeing.

[ccze]

Taking turns in 330km/h is really fascinating

[mattiik]

This is probably in the top 5 most impressive things I've seen in my life

[vxer]

He took that first turn so hard my monitor fell off the desk

[IamTheShadows]

I don't think people fully understand how absolutely insane it is to shave of ALMOST A MINUTE off the previous record.

[vladadesigns]

My God... 330km/h through the curves, and pushing it harder. This is beyond video games, beyond unreal. Mindblowing!

[verdict]

The car is so fast it makes the Nurburgring look like a go-kart track.

[TheRacingMonkey]

I don‘t even have the balls to drive that fast...in a video game

Kudos to the driver and the engineers!

[pocok]

Poor driver. Everything will feel slow for him after this.

[existentialerasure]

It looks so smooth until you notice what a beating the driver is taking. That last straight before the finish line looked brutal.

I've been watching F1 since I was six years old. I've seen every documentary there is on the history of racing. I've always loved endurance racing and have watched complete 24 hour editions of Le Mans, finishing with bloodshot eyes and a headache. I've been to the Nürburgring 24 hours and walked a lap of the entire track that day, watching from every single position. I must have done a thousand virtual laps of the Nordschleife in a dozen different games.
Three and a half years after first watching this, I still think this is the most insane thing ever done in the history of car racing.

[kaloyanivanov]

To all the people who say this is sped up, I was following him close behind in my Ford Focus, and I can guarantee you that he is really that fast.

[michaellidster]

In 1000 years, people will still admit this was amazing for the time

[randomchannel-pxho]

The craziest thing is that this lap could've been even faster, the driver himself admitted as such. Not because the driver made errors or didn't push the limits, it's simply that the human body's limits are below what the car was capable of... what a level of engineering we're at

[Jimmy_Broadbent]

I was in awe for the entire lap. This is a truly staggering achievement....just wow.

[Csmeau]

This guy's driving like he's never heard of crashing.

[blek]

Dad: What are you watching son?
Me: Some dude driving his 4 cylinder hybrid.

[olivermikolajuk]

For everyone wondering, No the video is not sped up. This car was built with absolutely no racing regulations with tires that only last for a single lap. The car is just that fast!
