Just realised that the track has changed a lot. turns 5 and 6 both have runoff beyond the rumble strips, and cars can take those turns MUCH faster than before. Turn 6 was always a scary fast turn, and in the best cars, Randy Pobst could take it at 80mph. This guy does it at 89mph, on Pzero Corsa tires. practically it's a different track now and lap times won't correlate much to previous ones

The new track surface (2023) made Indycar nearly 5 seconds faster for pole position year on year. A circa 67 second lap now. Hugely grippy.

Might some brands now get their road cars on the track to set a good time while the asphalt is pristine? It may also be an interesting testing venue to deal with better grip on the same track.

@Fastestlaps ❤️RED ALERT!

Can we please add below Tesla Plaid laptime?

https://www.hagerty.com/media/news/watch-teslas-1100-hp-model-s-plaid-trounce-the-corvette-c7-zr1s-laguna-seca-lap-time/

Quote>"Tesla posted an onboard video of the Model S Plaid’s Laguna Seca lap, and we’ll spoil it right now—this EV is wickedly fast. Tesla didn’t strip the interior or run a trick suspension setup, either; the car was wearing a set of Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires that will soon be available on the production model, and the ONLY MODIFICATION to the car was the installation of a racing bucket seat."

The car is stock production and the video plus GPS are below.

Could we please add also the Lucid Air laptime set by the factory. The Unplugged Tesla laptime has been added? Mark it pre production prototype or whatever!~ It's only fair and more importantly consistent. These cars have a stigma attached to them regards racetracks and laptimes! But they are bloody quick!

If you need anything else please state so we shouldn't be neglecting EV's or hybrids or anything else!

I only found out because of someone on Mclaren Life! It is what it is!🙂

Quote>"Watch a Tesla Model S Plaid prototype lap Laguna Seca in 1:30.3 seconds!

It's one thing to read that a car, in this case the 1,100-horsepower tri-motor Tesla Model S Plaid, is fast. It's quite another to see visual evidence in the form of an in-camera video of the tartan-Tesla lapping Laguna Seca in 1:30.3 seconds. Now, thanks to the magic that is the Internet, you can witness the next best thing to being the person belted into the driver's seat by watching the video up above.

Speaking of the driver, this is apparently well-known YouTuber Sebastian Vittel (not to be confused with F1 driver Sebastian Vettel) behind the wheel. Vittel, which we will assume is an alias, says the S Plaid was on a custom set of Michelin Sport Cup 2 tires that will be released along with the vehicle when it goes on sale in late 2021. The only modification to the vehicle, according to the video description, was a replacement bucket seat that was installed for safety reasons.

To put a 1:30.3 lap in perspective, it's just a few seconds shy of the McLaren Senna, which set a production car record of 1:27.62 when Motor Trend had it at the track. It's also faster than any published time recorded by a prototype Lucid Air, an electric sedan that ought to compete with Tesla's best once it actually goes on sale. Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted that there are a few seconds to be gained at the track, suggesting that the Model S Plaid will eventually hold, not just the electric vehicle record, but the outright production-vehicle record at Laguna Seca.

We look forward to watching Lucid, Tesla and Porsche continue to battle for electric-sedan track superiority."" <Yes we absolutely do!🔥

If you filter out non road legal that silly Unplugged Performance time still shows up, even though that thing had racing slicks, stripped interior, etc.

I know tesla fanboys like lying but come on now, don't kill the credibility of this site.

Congrats Tesla! Who else can break 1:30 with a roomy four door family sedan that gets 100 MPGe? Most cars that can do that (and there's precious few) are lucky to get 15 MPG.

Maybe the Porsche Taycan? Ooops, not roomy, not a family sedan and way too slow!

This is price vs Laguna Seca performance plot created by @ilias.

As you can see, there is almost pure nonlinear function in how price explodes higher as you squeeze out last seconds from the Laguna Seca lap time.

Good example of "diminishing returns" law, which we see almost in any kind of product or service - the most specialist, most well made or very best performing product will sometimes cost multiples more than nearest rival, even if value difference is negligable.

For cars there are other strong factors that affect price - for example, Porsche 911 GT2 RS has very high collector appeal and you have to pay huge exclusivity premium on top of what you would expect to pay for the high performance.

Given enough market liquidity, there really is no such thing as "overpriced car". Prices are function of demand and availability.
