What 900HP looks like
Skip to 1:00, and watch the drag race. 918 and a 900HP GTR TT Beast.
The next lap, 918 overcooked it a couple times, and new company flies by on back straight. Pirelli World Challenge is in a couple weeks, so a few teams were there practicing. How often do you get to drive behind a TRAIN of WC cars?
(yes I know, I don't have data hooked up....Racelogic still has nothing for the GT4)

I was in the GTR. That 918 was fast on the back straight. I was doing about 160 mph and he was at least 15 mph faster. It was nice to see a 918 being driven hard, as intended. Great video. Thanks for posting!

Optical allusion - that's an F1 track, it bunches cars up - I only wish!

Wonder what tyres the 918 and GTR were on?

Jacy:
This is in your new GT4?
So 4 -5 sec slower than the RS?
Comparable or much different tires?

918 was presumably on Cup2s, it looked pretty stock when I drooled over it at the TRG tent.
GTR, correct me if I'm wrong jmIIIgtr, looked like Pirelli DH?
Same tires, first weekend at COTA I really focused driving the GT4 (Blue) and I was about a second off a good lap in the RS (Red). Here is the trace...corner speed was superior, but despite lower drag, it can't match the speed or acceleration at high speeds (the Mezger was something special).

LOL - and they get the point from SierraLima in the 115 rwhp 1.6 Spec Miata as they come around T20, a car that could only hit 107 on the back straight but still did 2:54.30.

I don't know. Those videos were not to say anything about my driving - just what seeing two 900HP monsters look like disappearing into the horizon.
I would guess that whatever class the GT4 CS is in will probably run in the very low 20s, high teens.

Nice driving. Those two drivers were at least two run groups below your skill level.
