Lightning Lap 2024 - DH edges Mach 1 by .2 sec

[saleen367]

So as a Mach 1 owner we no longer have a dog in this fight, but it was nice to see the Dark Horse only bested the Mach 1's time by .2 sec.

Strange as it was, the DH was listed as 2:50.0 during the commentary section but later showed 2:51.2 which I find to be more likely.

What tires did each car have?

 

[WildHorse]

500 hp will do that.

more to it than that, or the M1 would not have overcome the -46hp to the 350R

…unless of course, you are saying that ad money plays a role 🥸

Likely different drivers, and they were run on different days with likely different weather conditions. These comparisons are fun, but comparing times from different years isn't really viable because of how much difference the conditions can make in lap times.

I trust Car and Driver only slightly more than Jalopnik, and less than Blipshift.

Lucid Air Sapphire lap time 7 seconds faster at 2:44.3, with 170 mph on the front straight. Insane ! Maybe time for a Ford Performance tuned Mach E ?

They said that the transmission fluid in the DH was getting hot? Does the DH have all the same cooling as the M1?

I was surprised by this. I ran the A10 in the track attack and the transmission had no issues with temps.
