Spent the last 3 days with Matthias Hoffsummer, he has logged more miles on a 918 than any other human being on earth. He also has extensive sessions with P1 and LaFerrari. On a track, the 918 is basically using the same brake points as a GT3Cup car, difference is that the 918 can trail brake really deep into a corner, the weight transfer and the RWS means the car will rotate proper without spinning out and then get on the gas really early to rocket out of a turn. But one has to trust the car in order to do that, not many trust it that much. It's easy to extract 95% out of a 918 than a P1 or a LaFerrari, but it's much harder to extract 100% from a 918 than the other 2.

Truly interesting.

Indeed, and presumably the 918 is reaching those braking points at a higher speed than the Cup car..?
