Default Porsche Content- Hybrids are cool


Got a chance to drive the 919 a few months ago...

Best day of my life other than birth of kids etc.

Epic! What a car. Can you describe a little how fast it really was compared to other fast cars you have driven? Looks like you drove in wet weather - how was that!!?

When you deploy the front wheel drive torque on corner exit it pulls 2G's of acceleration. Which is fast

they were thinking about calling off the drive in the wet but felt a little guilty. we had neel jani there to run warm up/shake down and data comparisons.

car was in High DF config- Front TCS to 7, Rear to 7, overall to 6. Recuperation was set at 3-4.

After racing a few times in an LMP3 car- this was actually really fun to drive once you get passed the whole "it's worth 15m" thing...but the car really has a lot of grip- the Michelin rains are incredible. Tire warmers etc.

The downforce is so insane that we pulled 4G's in a few corners (flat on throttle in 6th)

I'm about 60% through a really long writeup and will post along with more behind scenes and vids including how hard it was for me to exit the car without taking off the wheel. I'm 6'1 190 and it looks like the fat guy exiting the McLaren youtube vid...
