Well done the editors, they managed to make the fastest racing car in history, look slow.
This version of the car isn't the fastest car in history.
The 919 Evo is.
I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who hated these slo-mos Everytime I wanted to see how fast the car actually looked...
the engine sounded like it creeping acceleration 1mph at a time
@@TennysonPesco It beat the 2017 F1 cars at Spa but after the 2018 race there, the F1 cars were quicker again. So not only is the 919 not the fastest racing car, the 919 Evo isn't the fastest car if you look at the times at Spa.
@@TennysonPesco your a putz
The slow motion video with the real time audio is ridiculous. LOL
its hard to watch
@@2fast2nick not really, not for me
I have to disagree. Otherwise some of these shots would just be 45 - 100 seconds of Chris's face...
I'll take the sexy slo mo thanks
919 likes
I hate you to making this comment possible!!
Please dont intersect slow mo footage with high rpm sounds... terrible
It's funny as hell.
I saw the complaints. Then I saw towards the end....ahhhhhh.
13:32 this is the worst video editing in the history of video editing
Gideon Schwalbe You can literally hear him upshift and downshift through out the video and at one point he says he’s doing 185 mph which as far as I’m aware of you cannot achieve such speed in first gear
I made it 6 minutes. Editing is horrific. At some point someone will shoot it and i can enjoy watching it.
I concur !!
@@bryanshelf7567 Maybe someone will shoot it. And with it I mean the producer
Kimi,maybe you know something more than us!!But you never explain to us,why..!!!!
The car and Chris is cool and all... But WHO EDITED THIS VIDEO?! Let us enjoy the 919 in full speed, don't show long shots of slow-motion with normal audio playing in the background, it drives me nuts
Lmao was thinking the same thing
I kinda liked it
Agreed. It was complete crap
Agreed. The editing just sort of, I don't know, not ruined it, but made it not as enjoyable as it seems that it could have been.
I still enjoyed Chris' narration though. Sorta reminds me of the enthusiasm he had when driving the F40 and F50.
It looks fake when at full speed ! It is crazy fast!!
I'm so glad BBC gives Chris the opportunity to continue making this content.
The only person remaining that still presents quality at BBC
Damn straight!
The government propaganda channel still has some decent content.
BBC should give Chris Harris top gear .all we need is chris , if it was only chris i might actually watch top gear again to be honest , any petrol head can see he is the man for the job
Yeah, hes a great vlogger
The shot at 7:03 really gives you an impression of how fast this car accelerates....suddenly the world goes into warp speed, as soon as he finishes the corner. Absolutely incredible!
To get a good impression of the speed of the Porsche 919, we have filmed it whilst doing the lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife! I can't place a link here because the comment would be seen as spam, but you can easily find it at our page ;)
I watched that video. It’s unreal! I’ve driven the Nurburging, and have also watched many videos, with a variety of cars lapping the circuit. But the 919 video is on a totally different level. It really looks like the video is being shown in faster than normal speed, because I’ve NEVER seen a lap of the Nurburgring done so quickly. I think it reached 368 km/hr on the long straight! That’s faster than the top speed of an F1 car.
@@RbNetEngr It's absolutely absurd. The car had an average speed of 145.3 mph in that record-breaking lap. The first time I found out about it was after playing Forza 7. I took an Indy Car and after about 10 attempts (Plus about 200hrs playing the game) I finally got a sub 6 minute time. I was feeling pretty good about myself so I looked up what the top time on the Nordschleife was and saw the time the Porsche 919 Evo put down. Then I watched the video. It really was insane to see, especially after seeing how difficult it was just to break 6 minutes. I cannot imagine trying to do it in real life, I didn't have to deal with any of the bumps, or the G-Forces. Not to mention I wouldn't have the balls to drive a car like that on the limit. Truly amazing.
haha this is the perfect ad
is there a reason the video is edited so that the car looks like it's going 5 mph on the corners?
Yeah- it's called incompetence...
So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06
@@porschecollector727 ...
Then do the video with a mazda mx-5, not one of the fastest cars on the planet. I don't care about no apex
@@rodrigo-tj1gf Huh? What's a good idea??? Maybe u replied to the wrong person?
@@diavolorosso69 hes talking about the editing
This is how I prefer Chris Harris. If he was allowed to be himself on Top Gear more, the show would be better off. Instead of writing for him like James May, but can slide…
Unfortunately it has to appeal to the foolish majority, the ones that aren't interested in cars and just want to be entertained.
I think Harris and MLB could have an hour long CZcams program every now and then, just being themselves talking cars, driving, Motorsport etc.
Agreed! I hate scripted arguments
I don't watch Top Gear anymore, ONLY the Chris Harris Drives segments. Because Chris Harris Drives is BETTER.
Half of that was impossible to understand
TheScenick Top Gear became big because Clarkson, May and Hammond were let be themselves. Now the new trio is trying to be Clarkson, May and Hammon just to be similar to the original successful format.
But that can only be done by the original trio, and they are doing it for Amazon now.
So I agree, the new trio should be themselves, even if it means that Top Gear will be different than its first 20 seasons.
It kinda ruins the narrative when the he's describing how incredibly fast the car is while the editing makes it appear its going at a crawl.
Chris Harris on point as usual.
The editing team however were not. One of the words fastest cars...in slow-mo. Good job.
Come on video team! Why would you do a slow-mo of that thing, in every turn?! It looks waaaaay better on “normal” speed.
Especially with real time engine noise, that was weird...
So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06
@@porschecollector727 in that case, you cut the engine track and just use background music.
They probably accidentally filmed in 60fps and had no other option but to make it slo mo lol
Is there anything better than this? Chris Harris behind the wheel of the ultimate Porsche
thedownshiftchannel nope this is about it!
Chris Harris is the best
Totally
Yeah Jeremy clarkson
Dude....the Aston Martin Valkyrie.....
worst editing award 2019
The slow motion effect is rubbish and totally unnecessary 😒 they should slow down the sound as well
The problem was overlaying the normal sound and Chris talking on top of it... and then cutting to shots of him accelerating out the corners when you can hear the car engine noise with Chris speaking AND the actual video shot engine noise of the car accelerating out the corner.
@@Richard_AKL still there must be better ways to edit the video.. like reducing the sound of the background when Chris is talking or to let him explaining things when he walk around the car
hahahaha slow down the sound hahahah
Of all the racing games, Chris chose ToCA 2.... What a legend!
I thought exactly the same. Love this guy now
haha yeah, i didn't expect that 90s throwback, was a fun game
Yes he is! Glad there are a few folks still remembering this gem of a game.
I played that game to death back in the day, great memories.
It is how you date his childhood.
Those slow mo shots are ruining the hype while watching... you are hearing the car going nuts but it’s going super slow like wth
The insane amount of slow motion use
is driving me nuts. Lets see the insane speed it carries through turns instead of this montage style stuff...
The bbc really should let this guy take the helm more often. I’d love if top gear had significant amounts of time spent dedicated to dorking out on serious race car engineering and what it results in and Chris is the perfect guy for it, bloody marvellous. Thank you Chris.
Top Gear needs to fire whoever is editing these videos. Please have a professional editing team who knows what they’re doing.. please and thank you.
Extensive use of slow motion was a massive disaster for this video....sadly
i was going to say awful the sound is going at 200mph and u watching the car going at 20 mph amazing car tho
Totally awful to see visuals that weren't at all in sync with the beautiful motor revving in all it's Glory. Should have just kept the dashcam. Opportunity missed.
So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06
You can see how the 918 road car is a mini version of this and how they were devolped together. Both 4 wheel drive. Both hybrid system with electric power to the front. The engines are the same just that the 918 has two of them (2.0L V4 x2 = 4.0L V8). Just that the 918 is tuned down to last more than 24H haha. Incredible.
Too many slow motion clips , let’s just see it flat out . Top gear editors at work again
What a great video Chris! There aren't many videos that describe the pure feeling of driving a modern Le Mans car, and to have this masterpiece of a video,
Thank you so much!
NDash On Cars ayyyyyyy
First top gear clip I've seen since the new cast. If it was just this guy it would be great. Chris Harris is a cool guy and he doesn't try to be anyone from the old cast.
Chris on his own is more entertaining than an actual episode of the new trio imo.
I agree, they shouldn't just try and mimic the old cast
FIRE THE MAN WHO EDITED THIS THING. FOR GOD SAKE, HOW DO MAKE THE LITERALLY FASTEST CAR ON EARTH LOOK SLOW LIKE A GOD DAMN BICYCLE?!
5:09 "IM DOING 180MPH!" **slow mo makes car look like it's going 12mph**
Extremely disconcerting how the audio is loud and flat-out screaming while completely unconnected, pleasant B-roll is playing.
Editor sucks
We don't a slow motion view with fast acceleration audio
It'll be better to use a different audio in slow motion
As a Race Marshal I had the Honor of not only seeing but touching this Beast of a machine when the WEC came to COTA in Texas, all the P1 cars at that time were Incredible, but this thing was on a whole different level, the Race Director at the time for WEC when talking to the Marshals at our briefing told us these were not cars as we knew them, they were in fact Laboratories on wheels, that was an understatement...at our 6 Hr endurance race, into the night was something I will never forget, Natural Gas colored blue header flames about 15 inches long, on every gear change was an Incredible Explosion from the exhaust, brake rotors turning a translucent orange on braking at 1000C. Mark Webber could Blow all 4 times Off the car, up in smoke at 150mph if he deployed all the power on our back stretch. Ashamed the FIA outlawed these cars, Sadly I am afraid F1 is on the way to being a Spec Class, give them fuel and let the technology go! Like these cars were, F1 is supposed to be the Cutting Edge of Motor Racing
this is great - but i'm getting no sense of the drama and g-forces because of the constant slo-mo
Love Chris but the editing in this video SUCKS!
Mostly long slo-mo shots.
YYY?
usually he be drifting in slow mo in like any other car
They probably don’t have much footage
@@stitcha123 So show the onboard shot of Harris talking instead.
So the whole video wouldn't be at the speed that you can hardly see the apex line or the car. i.e. @5:06
I didn't know I needed this is my life.
I love that it's 4 cylinder.
And not just any four cylinder, but a V4! Honda would be proud. ❤️
Yeah. Insane. Apparently a tough configuration to build well.
We had a V4 Evinrude outboard engine on a powerboat in the early 90s and I love how much I can hear that old outboard in the Porsche 919 haha! Brings back childhood memories in the strangest way :)
Yup, no christmas bonus to the editor for that excessive use of slow mo. Solid F
This is what the public wants to see, hear, but mostly feel. I'm certain that it is not just me. This is quality content; not too technical for the greater good and, most of all, it hands over this feeling. What a way to deliver this experience, with much focus on the feeling of the car. Well done, Chris.
Beside this, Neel Jani is such a passionate driver.
If I wasn't already in love with this 919, I would madly be now. Rush!
Favourite car journo in my favourite racing car of all time... lovely jubbly.
@Lexus Troller he's from Britain obviously listen to his accent
@Lexus Troller What have you got against spelling?
Love these cars I’m a technician at Porsche motorsport so I’ve seen a few aswell as the carrera cup cars absolutely lovely to work on and diagnose everything is designed to be done quickly
Who was kind of expecting a 919 evo even after watching the thumbnail?
Not me cause the 919 evo dosent have headlights
This is all top gear needs to be. Nothing more. No gimmicks. No celebrity presenters. Just Chris Harris and an awesome car.
Wow, love this review by Chris. No nonsense and so pure, he really is great at these type of reviews.
I like the way top gear heading right now.
They use their BBC power and privileges to get the access to do these kinda exclusive car review that no other car show could do.
Yes, clarkson, hammond and may is all about fun and comedy, and we love three of them, they are irreplaceable, no one can fill the shoes they left.
but this new direction top gear heading is so refreshing for this show/brand.
Also chris harris is the perfect person to do it, he had all the experiences driving racing car and even compete in endurance series, so he is an adequate person to do this drive
Huge facts man! They do a great comedy show (which they are doing rn) But as an out and out car show, CH is so much superior of a host.
It was always fun to see Tiff or Plato race, but Chris…the passion, the knowledge the pure excitement all of it transpire through the video. Great job!!!!
This is great to see. There's no better car content available right now. Keep up the great work.
Thanks for taking us along for the ride! Amazing footage!
Epic Driver and car journalist, Epic car ... BUT the editing :(. OMG how many slo-mo shots of the car combined with the engine going flat out - made it very hard to watch. Please please re-edit this properly and it will become a legendary video.
5:07 subtitle should read “it’s up to *v* max”
12:14 should be "trailing throttle" too. Whoever did the subtitles should be severely disciplined!
Chris is the best thing to happen to Top Gear for 30 years
Just amazing....thanks for making this Chris and team!
thats more like it guys, feels like a proper CHoC vid, bravo.
who the hell edited this , red line with voice over and car drive by is doing about 20mph? who thought that would be a good idea. 5:48
Even the car is making a turn at the redline
LMAO
Chris Harris is my favorite car reviewer - enthusiasm without hyperbole. For many other reviewers - some I like a lot - every car they drive is the best car they have ever driven.
Regardless of the unfortunate editing, this is what the new UK Top Gear should be, just serious auto journalism. Would be great if it was hosted by Chris Harris, Tiff Needel, and Walter Röhl...
Watching it belt around Laguna Seca at Rennsport was awe inspiring. Huge speed, effortless. But didn't break a record....but I think that was intentional. The combo of the three sectors SMASHED the record.
The engine sounds not being linked with the images are really annoying
If Top Gear was actually like this I would start watching it again. Well done Chris, great vid
One of the best videos on youtube. Thank you Chris Harris.
"You as a person are the limit, not the machine" - very wise words
Haven't watched a minute yet and had to click that like button! Chris Harris + Porsche is the best combo ;)
@Josh Mkensie 🤔
I've been waiting for this video with Chris and the legendary 919 forever!!
There is only one Chris Harris, what an awesome machine - thanks for taking us along for the ride..
New Top Gear isn't very good but this guy, this guy I like 👍
Its really amazing how we reached an age an era where the limiting factor is the human not the machine ! I remember driving a GT3 RS in BIC in a porsche event and i was amazed at how well the car handles and corners and no matter how hard you push it you are still far from the limits ..
Not true. The limiting factor is the tires and track.
Bahamuttiamat i dont really think the tires is a limiting factor when the car is super light , the grip is high and the only factor stopping the car from going at crazy speed around a corner is the nerve system of the human and fear ..
Not true. Your information is factually false. Tires have been and will always be the limiting factors. Aircraft pilots pull far more G's and they do it fine. Air races pull far more g's than an f1 driver, so no, the human body isn't the limiting factor.
Bahamuttiamat who said body ?? By human factor i meant the courage and reasonable judgment, when you try to jump of a high place you might think that jumping from first floor is easy , second floor you start questioning whether you are able to do it or not , third floor your brain will stop you because it believes its impossible even if in fact the harness and safety equipment might land you safely but reasonable judgment stops you ..
The same goes with the car example .. the car might be able to take a corner at speed up to 80-90 mph and it will be its limit for grip , tires and traction , but the human judgement and courage will allow him to drive at 70 because that is the reasonable judgment, in this case the human is the limit .. unlike a racing driver who is trained for years and years and have the confidence to take the corner at much higher speeds where then the car starts to be the limiting factor ..
Hope you got the idea .
You my friend, obviously don't know many race car drivers. They aren't wired like us. Fear isn't a thing for those guys. They get off pushing the limits. If the car can go that fast, there will always be those that will take it there. Your or I would be like " F that" but for them they get off on it. I mean, someone jumped from freaky space.... would you do that? Your limitation on your own survivability may not necessarily be shared with those mavericks
This 919 is what the future of all cars should feel like. Excellent video! Smashing the thumbs up now!
Really like Harris' commentaries. When he first started doing them he seemed rather taciturn, which isn't bad. He has a lot of practical experience and knowledge to draw from when he makes pronouncements. He has become more animated during these reviews while not becoming comedic, which is even better. What really shows through is that he truly loves automobiles. It's great to see him drive these amazing vehicles- you know he appreciates it.
That turn at 5:40 is incredible. More real-time footage would've made this even better
Look everybody, look at what my mega HD cameras can pick up, if you look closely you’ll notice a leaf being wafted across the track by the gentle breeze, I’ve slowed the footage down so you can focus on what my cameras are capable of, the aim of this piece was to demonstrate how fancy our new cameras are, you really get to appreciate how amazing our editing is AND you get to see what you licence fee is paying for. Yeah there’s a car that gets in the way every now and again but that’s totally secondary to MY toys and MY editing. This is about ME not that bloody Porsche that was on the circuit.
What a machine! Great Drive Harris! Thank you for sharing this!
This is what a real racing simulator is suppose to be.
I drove one at Essen Motor Show that pitched and rolled like your gonna flip over.
Great review by the way Chris!
“The person is the limit, not the machine”
Great video but the slow-mo scenes are just executed weirdly. There's too many of them and they make the car look like it's doing 20km/h instead of being an obvious slow-mo effect.
By far the best episode of Chris Harris Drives.
I don't think there is ANY host of ANY car show that would've been able to drive that beast as well as Chris Harris. Props to him, one of the best presenters out there!!
The editing of the video is done sooo wrong....slow motions was not at all needed....the actual footage had been better like the rest of the videos
1200 HP
800 KG
😳😳😳😳
Most people don't know what this means. A Bugatti is 2,5 times heavier. Must be like tnt in the back when you push the pedal.
Thank you thank you for this most exhilarating video!! Absolutely amazing!
Amazing video. Best Porsche 919 video on you tube for sure. Good job editors.
great video but the EDITING lol why the slo mo?
Amazing. The slow-motion editing is jarring, especially since the audio is at normal speed. In an odd way, it made me feel slightly ill.
That looked like a lot of fun. I am glad, to see Chris enjoyed the drive. (:
The sound is SAVAGE and the sound of turbo makes it very bold.
the slow motion shots are awfull to look at
Great film but why, when Chris is giving it the full beans on slicks, are we getting all the slo-mo shots?
Such a lovely video! The best of porsche engineering + Chris Harris = best video to watch
How can you bring that down to only 14 minutes? This should have been an 1 hour episode showing every possible detail of everything. Great content!
Wow, this is super Porsche 😮😍🙌🙌❤❤👍👍😎
ALUSH Play k? Calm down
Shame about editing* - Goosebumps, love when they went Nürburgring and Spa with it, mental.
That car is mental! Wow! And Chris Harris behind the wheel ensures a quality review. Great video.
Such honest excitement about cars - only presented by very few. We done CH!
The worst bit of sound editing ever 12:35
Flat out for 45 seconds... Honestly??
LOL
The sound of half throttle all the time 😮
Amazing car. Thanks for sharing this drive, and detailed look at the car.
What an insane machine. Hats off to Chris for doing his best to harangue the thing and a big big congratulations to Porsche for building such an incredible racing car
actually in 2018 the f1 cars in Q2 did a lap faster than the evo (please stop telling that the evo is faster than a f1)
Correct. They beat 2017 quali time but not 2018 and it rained in q3. Easily another half second there.
@@Bahamuttiamat And this year they are even faster again.
glad some people noticed
The comparison of the 919 Evo and an F1 car is nonsense really. I like the way Chris said "regulated F1 car." Most people don't pick up on that.
The editors are stupidly amateur
they managed to make the fastest racing car in history, look slow.
That's why I love ya Chris, you're still a great big kid who kinda honestly keeps expecting people to take all these fabulous toys away so every damn time you make sure to thank them, good on ya.
This is exactly why people wanted chris harris on TOP GEAR
So here it is: he's driven the 919. I've read his article about it and it's incredible just the kind of opportunity he got.
Also, if he can drive THAT, then I reckon he can drive the Aston Martin Valkyrie and Mercedes-AMG Project ONE. Then bring Jenson Button and Sabine Schmitz to race them!
RIP
This Face from Chris after this Run was priceless...
12:32.....my God, so much aerodynamic grip. Chris, my friend, you done it again great video and awesome car
Talk about a "bucket list" moment! The only question for Chris now becomes: where do you go from up?!? Great stuff, Chris!
