Mort.

@dzanek_ @Motor1com After a bit of look thru the internet it's crazy how many news outlets and peoples comparing this run to other production car run especially AMG One and ZR1X, literally apples to oranges

@This_weirduser @Motor1com I get it, and it’s really good that ford achieved that. But author is comparing to amg one and talking bout only gas engine no hybrid. Car looks absolutely stellar tbh, and with their gt3, it’s good that ford is pushing into racing more

Ford just broke a bunch of Nürburgring lap records with the GT Mk IV. With a time of 6 minutes and 15.977 seconds, the GT is: • The fastest American car • The fastest gas-powered car (non-hybrid) • Faster than the Mercedes-AMG One Watch the lap: motor1.com/news/791926/fo…

@Dingleberry888 @Shinkiro1025 @MV33Racing Did i just see someone mentioned Carlos Sainz Sr. as F1 champ and Le mans champ?? Le mans itself is not a championship but a race round, what are you talking about dude? As for rallying we never see Max in a rally car going full stages in rally event so you can't call him crap

@Shinkiro1025 @MV33Racing He pretty crap at rally, nascar would spook him. Max is a racer, for sure. Motorsport is a varied field. Carlos Sainz Snr. F1 champ, Rally champ, Dakar champ, Le Mans champ.

Max Verstappen says he would love to compete in Super GT. The only obstacle is that he cannot commit to a full championship. Two weeks ago, Max drove a Nissan Z NISMO GT500 at Fuji, an experience he thoroughly enjoyed. 🗣️"It's a great category. I wish they had a bit more of a standout one race, instead of just a championship. If that would be the case, it's easier to commit to one; I cannot do a whole championship and to do one race in a championship sometimes is also not the right thing. So, we'll see." 🗣️"I would love to race these cars. It really reminds me of how the old DTM [Class 1] cars used to be, and that's what you also really liked watching."

@dzanek_ @neuminator1 @Motor1com The GT MKIV in essence is modified Ford GT GTE race car both built by Multimatic, this is probably as fast as they could go with the chassis limitations, 919 Hybrid being based on LMP1 regs have so many untapped potential that's why make the uncapped Evo version are that crazy

@neuminator1 @Motor1com Bro making record like fastest gas car but not hybrid is clueless XDD Let’s make fastest car up to 100k$ with back-engine etc. Who cares if it’s hybrid or nah, didn’t beat 919, beat amg one which is street legal. Ford ain’t gonna legalize it in eu prob

@dzanek_ @Motor1com Ford themselves never really compare this run with any production car, this news outlet does. you couldn't compare unrestricted Hybrid LMP1 car (1st fastest), purpose built EV time attack (2nd fastest), purpose built prototype from 1983 (3rd fastest) to this unrestricted GTE car

@Motor1com Yeah but it’s not street legal, ford should compare then to 919 which is a 1 minute faster

@the_ognoodle @SulllySullly @spece2goin @Motor1com Based on Wikipedia the track layouts seems to be the same, not sure which one is true, but I've seen so many news outlets forget about Steffan run in the 956 which is weird

@SulllySullly @spece2goin @Motor1com Technically it's in another category cause the layout of the track has changed I believe.

@Nowwaynaminit @Motor1com Won't fit unfortunately, the Ford GT carbon monocoque chassis are built around the V6 motor

@Motor1com I wonder what could be if they used a voodoo or predetor

@CasuallyTHFC @midsh1pboy @Motor1com No, it is indeed purpose built based on the Ford GT GTE race car that Multimatic built themselves, although you can say that Multimatic built the Ford GT race car and road car in tandem but the only similar item you'll find between the two is the carbon fiber monocoque

@midsh1pboy @Motor1com not really a "purpose" built. It's based off the 2017 Ford GT, which is a street legal car.

@Farzouille @nuerburgring C'mon now.. the Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo is an unrestricted LMP1 car while the GT MKIV is an unrestricted GTE car. They're basically competing in different league of performance. And mind you the GT MKIV only have ICE only powerplant unlike the ICE+EV motor of 919 Hybrid Evo

@nuerburgring Cool, record for Prototypes is still 56 seconds faster.

Nordschleife in 06:15.977 minutes! 🚗Vehicle: Ford GT Mk IV 👨Driver: Frédéric Vervisch ⏲️Time: 06:15.977 minutes 🛣️Track: Nordschleife 🏅Category: Prototypes / pre-production vehicles 📺 Watch the whole lap on our YouTube Channel: youtube.com/watch?v=i9JM8q… #HeartRace

@thefgcthief @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring As for the GTD, even as a big Ford fan myself, it'll be hard to see a modified Mustang (albeit not a minor one) which is the GTD to beat a purpose built MR sports car turned into super car that is ZR1X

@jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring It’s not a production road car so it doesn’t matter. It still does not erase or change the fact that the GTD is still slower than the ZR1X around the ring.

6:15:977! That’s the new lap time set by the @Ford GT Mk IV at the iconic @nuerburgring. This makes the Ford GT Mk IV the fastest American car ever to lap the Nürburgring, the fastest car exclusively powered by an internal combustion engine around the Ring, and the 3rd fastest overall car of any type to ever lap the "Green Hell" Congratulations to Frédéric Vervisch for the incredible driving and the entire @FordRacing and @Multimatic teams for this accomplishment! But this isn't just about lap times… @ford and @fordracing are committed to pushing boundaries, always learning, and continually innovating and evolving to make the best products for our customers and fans.

@thefgcthief @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring It may be not a production car but it still matter, just like how Porsche do with 919 Hybrid Evo and VW do with I.D R EV time attack car, they mostly do this run to claim the fastest only ICE car although the missed it by about 4 seconds to Steffan Bellof Porsche 956 from 1983

@TechJeff @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring They're not from the same class, the GT MKIV is a limited production non street legal unrestricted GTE car built by Multimatic for Ford Racing, where ZR1X is a production car built by GM with help by Pratt Miller Motorsports

@jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring So over 30 seconds quicker than the ZR1X in the same class 👀

@ManGotNoMaidens @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring Most people do ignorant about detail stuff which sad to see, the GT MKIV in by all means not a street legal production car, it's a limited production non street legal race car built by Multimatic for Ford Racing.

@This_weirduser @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring Sure. I just don't like inaccurate reporting around these things. It's an impressive lap, but it should be kept in its own category instead of comparing it with cars that are meant to be driven on the road, which is something I see a lot of people doing.

@ManGotNoMaidens @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring A bit mistake there 3rd spot is taken by the legendary pair of Porsche 956 driven by Steffan Bellof, so 4th place for the unrestricted GTE car still cool in my opinion

@ManGotNoMaidens @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring I mean it's still pretty cool no? We got an ICE+Hybrid powerplant unrestricted LMP1 car at the top fastest time in nbr, while 2nd spot taken by an EV powered purpose built hillclimb time attack car while 3rd spot taken by ICE only powered unrestricted GTE car

@LegalizeitD @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring I mean it makes sense, The 919 Hybrid Evo is a unrestricted LMP1 car while this Ford GT MKIV is a unrestricted GTE car bordering close to LMP2 or P3 performance by this point

@RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring Porsche 919 was almost a minute faster.

@Spencer06121 @RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring Yo do realize that Ford Racing themselves didn't label that run as production car record right? It in any level the same as when Porsche running their 919 Hybrid Evo non restricted LMP1 car and VW with their I.D R purpose built time attack car

@RebekkahLinn @jimfarley98 @Ford @nuerburgring It's not a production car. In any case the record is held by the AMG one. Not Porsche

@RealValkrine @sagarmo_6002 @sportscar365 @MagmaRacing @FIAWEC What? You gotta be trolling, anyone who following their journey from their YouTube account would know that this was one of their test livery, the other two have same scheme but colored black and magma orange. And if you're indeed trolling.. nice one mate

@This_weirduser @sagarmo_6002 @sportscar365 @MagmaRacing @FIAWEC And where does it say that it was test livery

🎨 LIVERY LAUNCH: @MagmaRacing has revealed its color scheme for the manufacturer's @FIAWEC debut this year. ➡️ sportscar365.com/lemans/wec/gen… #WEC

@RealValkrine @sagarmo_6002 @sportscar365 @MagmaRacing @FIAWEC Their GMR-001 test car almost literally like that

@sagarmo_6002 @sportscar365 @MagmaRacing @FIAWEC Show me one test hypercar livery that looks alike pls

@SocialTerritory @VerstappenCOM It's the team fault for not monitoring tire allocation for the entire weekend, then again nls in a nutshell is a big practice session for the main nbr24h event, valuable information still gained the team and more importantly by Max who just switched car from Ferrari 296 GT3

@VerstappenCOM Let's frame this instead. Looks simply lovely.

Frame it and hang it in the Louvre! Max crossing the finish line, wining NLS2 🙌

@Stekam44 @AlexBrundle Amazing bait 10/10

@AlexBrundle His F1 Uncle Derek or MAssi were not a stewards this time , else he would have kept the Win, - too bad , what goes around comes around.

Team say Verstappen tyre error was made in routine driver and tyre changes during qualifying. Teams rotate tyres and drivers simply to practice changing them all at once. Somewhere in there an extra set has been introduced. Shame after a great performance from all involved. Tyre limit in NLS is a full event limit across race and qualifying.
