Max Verstappen Onboard 14th to 1st Petit Lemans

1st stint of Max Verstappen on the Iracing Petit Lemans race on top split

[jenscee]

The competition at top level is mind blowing. All the cars in the top 10 at one point were lapping within a tenth. Max is relentless and these are all really high IR drivers.

[bartvanooijen]

He has talent, he should try it in real life

[derbigpr]

He made a lobby full of 7k and 8k rating drivers look like a bunch of amateurs.

[coliimusic]

Max is proof that some drivers truly are just Alien-tier

[Marc]

Were priviliged to see Max in his current form in Formula 1 tbh. Absolute legend in the making.

[grkyiasou]

Lifting and coasting through turn 10 and still passing people, turns 1, 2, and 3 were multiple tenths faster than pretty much everyone, and at one point he was lapping at 16.5, almost 0.7s ahead of those around him. Nuts.

[Drenwickification]

this track looks so awesome, tracks with lots of elevation change are always the best ones

[Raskeable]

I think its awesome that these "young" F1 drivers are having fun and showcasing their talent online too!

Absolutely amazing stint but the pass at 9:21 was a little rough 😂

[cro]

That little jolt he does in the first braking zone of the race start at 2:36 is low-key incredible. He is managing everyone else around him, including behind him, while simultaneously finding the maximum potential break zone that won't put him in the back of someone else, while in their draft. That's truly something incredible you can't have without the true experience of racing at a high level.

Max is a trained professional racing driver in real life. Hardly anyone else is here. In addition to his driving skill, he knows how to manage tire temperatures, adjust roll-bar settings when necessary, etc. That makes a difference.

[noahh]

9:20 the Verstappen special!

Now also available on the Sim!

Some say the only toy in his baby cot was a steering wheel

[gastonhitw]

this is why verstappen is a different driver than the other, and better of course, he's trying to develop this understanding for racing not only in real life but using other data and setups with different cars than f1, he's trying to use that on real life, therefore he has more options and a better understanding with his own f1 car and on the track as well, we've seen it in brazil 2016 taking other racing lines, late braking like no one has ever seen, driving faster than anyone else on water conditions where the track is always different as you go on etc....he's not an squared driver, he's always learning to make something perfect or different

[CPez]

43:10 Into a Race…… he has the Fortune of having ALL of the Top 3 Together…. But takes HISTORIC Advantage of it. 3 PASSES from 4th to 1st in 3 CORNERS!?!? Including, a Double Pass through the Middle for the Lead!? Truly a Legend as I’ve said from 2015 on.

[bobbychilds]

That dive into the chicane on lap 1....ooof. If the other driver didn't give that would have ended both drivers' race. I don't blame him for flashing lol

[MRSG]

The consistency was insane. Also to see and anticipate shape corners while right behind someone. Wow.

[brianjones]

So smooth and so consistent and makes it looks easy. Great athletes almost make the amazing look easy, i.e., Larry LEGEND Bird. There are so many good driving in Sim Racing these days.

[JohnvanderGeest]

What's with the background music? Poor decision.

[zeahroela]

That is unreal! Wish could see pedal input also!
