I know it isn'tsome schmuck from the factory, perhaps Patrick Long or ever Waltrr Rorhle. Who I would be more than happy to turn a hot lap that would be published. That man still is a stud and and still kick ALL OF OUR ASSESSING ON THIS WEBBOARD, six speed, Teamspeed, ferrari chat and any other website you can throw at him.
I think its http://www.porsche.com/germany/sport...vers/marclieb/

Changes everything regarding this car. Hope they post the full video at some point though.

And would be nice if they provided this for all of their GT line.
+1 full flying lap not BtoG ... full in car video is posted on youtube in the Porsche channel

He only had to catch the car a couple of times. More often it seemed to push a little.

In the full lap, just as he was coming to the long back straight, he was seen fiddling with the red button **** thingy, twice. Was there a special setting for the long straight? Just curious....

There is a special Qualifying setting that unleashes extra power for a short period (similar to overboost on the turbocharged cars).

Actually, I saw a dealer post a lease program for the 918:

36 months
5000 miles per year
$200000 drive off
$9000 per month.

double flux capacitor sequential feed. Awesome lap. Somehow it didn't seem like he was pushing it 100%. If I was driving it, I'll take twice as long and still enjoy every sec of it.

Mark Leib was driving. He's a factory works driver for Porsche. He was one of the drivers on the winning Manthey Porsche 911 at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He also has an engineering background

One can see the key dangling on the left. Looks like "porsche entry and drive" is optionable on this $900k car.

Seems like he was sandbagging on the last straight...

It’s like that red **** adjustment slowed him down. He hit over 300k earlier in the lap but on the final long straight he appeared to be maxing out in the 280’s.
