918 is in the league with P1 and LaFerrari. Nonetheless, it was thrilling to see! He should ve driven in corsa, would it have been faster?

[WLW@RSC]

My guess is he knew it would be faster shifting automatically than manually, I bet 9.9 of 10 people are faster in an auto than M mode in this car.

Agreed, but all hypercars are RWD and even with LC they do not launch so hard as an AWD. The 918 catched him up at around 150 mph, on corsa it would have veen faster for sure.

Agreed.
Very much so.

Ditto. The 918 launch was also influenced by the fact that the track was wet.
