I bet if we saw another go at it on track with those tires we could get awfully close to that 7min mark.....
Interesting. Are the n-specs what the 918 had on when it ran the 6:57?

The 918 had some very special tyres on it when it did 6.57"....they couldn't go past 280km/h on the main straight or they could have exploded! But the grip on the slower parts was phenomenal!! Not your average production tyre if you ask me...

So what speed should the 918 have reached on the main straight if they didn't have to worry about exploding tires?

I'd say 330km/h on the instrument...which will be more or less 305-310 GPS?

AWESOME!! Love the drift at 9:24

THAT is what this car was built for! You're an inspiration.
