Three manufacturers were represented in LMP1, including a trio of cars entered by Audi Sport Team Joest and Porsche, while Toyota elected to bring only two vehicles. Toyota played “games” with privateers in testing - SarrazinPorsche 919 Hybrid Evo, Porsche Team: Andre Lotterer, Neel Jani, Timo Bernhard Today's lap was 12 seconds faster compared to our WEC pole position from last year! "It is definitely the fastest car I ever drove. It followed up its Spa effort this year by smashing the late Stefan Bellof's outright lap record for the Nurburgring-Nordschleife two months later. "We have had three very intense days at Spa. "The 919 'Evo' will next been seen in action in the run-up to the Nurburgring 24 Hours in May, with further runs planned at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July, at Brands Hatch in September and at Laguna Seca in October. Today I knew on the very first lap in the morning that the car's performance was super. "One can only congratulate Neel and the entire crew for achieving it. The grip level is at a fully new dimension for me, I couldn't imagine this amount beforehand.
Porsche 919 "special edition" - the 919 EVO, has set a new absolute track record at the Spa Francorchamps F1 circuit in Belgium..
One could argue that Spa was a wise circuit choice from the team planning to set a lap record, but we shouldn’t take this away from them. Jani’s lap beat Lewis Hamilton’s pole time for the 2017 Belgian GP by almost a second.That made it unofficially the fastest-ever lap of the Spa circuit, with the quickest racing lap, which is used to determine the official lap record, a 1m46.557s set by Vettel during last year’s F1 race.However, in the second part of qualifying for this weekend’s Belgian GP, three drivers lapped even faster than Jani’s effort.Vettel ended up with the new benchmark, a 1m41.501s, with teammate Kimi Raikkonen and Mercedes’ Lewis Hamilton lapping in the same tenth.Rain started to fall before Q2 ended and continued into Q3 as well, which prevented further improvements and meant the eventual pole position time was a 1m58.179s set by Hamilton using intermediate tyres on a wet track.Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo, Porsche Team: Andre Lotterer, Neel Jani, Timo BernhardPorsche’s project with its LMP1 Evo car followed its withdrawal from the top division of the World Endurance Championship last year.Two-time Le Mans 24 Hours winner Timo Bernhard set a 5m24.375s, almost a minute quicker than Bellof’s pole position time for the 1983 Nurburgring 1000Km.Belgian GP: Hamilton beats Vettel to pole as Force India stars Unrestricted Porsche LMP1 sets unofficial Spa lap record. Porsche is taking its 919 Hybrid LMP1 car on tour – and the times have already started tumbling The Porsche 919 Hybrid’s competitive career came to a close when the chequered flag dropped in Bahrain in November 2017 – but its dominance of the motorsport world hasn’t ended just yet, setting a new lap record at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium. Porsche’s 919 Hybrid Evo achieved its first record, with Neel Jani breaking the outright lap record at Spa-Francorchamps that was held by a Formula 1 car. The 2014 race winners, Toyota, returned to defend their title. It was our target to show the Porsche 919 Hybrid's abilities when we ease the restrictions that came from the WEC regulations. Sebastian Vettel’s effort during Belgian Grand Prix qualifying means a Formula 1 car has reclaimed the fastest unofficial lap of Spa-Francorchamps from Porsche’s 919 Hybrid LMP1 ‘Evo’ machine. The race engineers did a great job setting up the car and the Michelin tyres are sensational.
