Brilliant! First off, Narain isn't driving a team car or a sponsor car, he's driving his own car, which is a fact that he has to completely put aside when pushing for a lap record. It's not like if there was a problem, or if he crashed, he could get into a 'spare' car. Secondly, this may be a GT3 but it's shod with road rubber and this showed on the corners, where you could see how much Narain had to correct his steering inputs to keep the track line and the car in complete control. It may have looked easy but watch his face when he's hitting the corners, he's clamping his jaw tight and grimacing as he focuses and fights for control.
What a champion this man is! Congratulations Narain, Porsche India and Autocar. BTW the video editing was awesome!
Very true, but the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires the GT3 comes with are some of the best road tires that can be used on the track.
Nice driving! Good to see another GT3 finding a capable owner who actually knows how to, and is willing to, drive the car the way it was designed to be driven!
He's a F1 driver
That's a formala-1 driver for you..they are something else. Many congratulations to NK and team AI. And BIC is a gem for India which government should take seriously, there is so much potential there. Its a pride for all enthusiasts in country. I feel proud having set a lap time on it officially on my bike. I wish to set the lap record for fastest production bike there..someday. Well done guys.
To start with: It wasn't even a *Porsche 911 GT3 RS*
But Most importantly car had an F1 Race car driver. What else one could ask for!
Kudos @Autocar India
The GT3 proved to be a quite a handful despite Narain racing it.Car control is quite an art indeed.
It's now a Porsche's playground.........no substitute forever......911 love
Next with the GT3 RS.....
Proud of you Narain, autocar and most importantly my love Porsche 911😍😍, you see that amg don't mess with 911
if he had did the same thing with ///AMG.. he would have beaten this 911 lap record 😏
Brilliant guy proud to all Coimbatorians to have him
Not only for Coimbatorians also for whole India
3:03 yes precision it is
Sweet! Keep doing these videos. Great stuff. I love the GT3.
Superb. Proud to be part of this project and witnessing the whole show.
Great lap Narian and really good editing and camera work from autocar (lightyears better than the usual) :p
Amazing. I still remember the drive of the Merc AMG GT3. It was phenomenal. Now, Porsche 911 GT has overcome it by a very good margin.
Yes, one thing is clear that Records are meant to be broken.
Thank you Autocar India for bringing such beautiful videos. Obliged. 😊👍🙏
what. is the car belonged to Narain. wow
Yes check his instagram
Wow lovely Karthi superb drive and a good time lap, Congratulations Autocar for supporting our fastest Indian race driver, also with his personal car wow love is confidence and driving too.
Aswm Naraine karthikeyan & porche & autocar India🤩
If it were to be a GT2 RS, we could well see a sub 2 minute lap! Kudos Narain, Autocar and Porsche India.
Narain bhai well done congratulations
When i saw u in Chennai.... We took a pic and that time u were having nisan GTR red color and it was brand new
Is this his car? As far as I remember, he got a manual one.
Narain, Pride of Tamilnadu❤
I mean heat beat the record drifting all over the track..
Bharath M Yeah! Had he driven more properly, he could have saved at least a second.
Woahh!!! Nailed it NK 👍
Karthik narain ❤️❤️❤️
Porsche is always manufacturing very good and track focused car but I guess it can go little bit quicker but we this enjoyed a lot
Aditya VP wankhade Next time they should bring the GT2RS
Can you release a video only from the cockpit
Wow what a sound
Nailed it
I want to see him do the lap in a Huracan Performante(or GT2 RS),it shattered nurburgring record Which was again beaten by the GT2 RS.( Which is quite different from BIC)
Bring the GT2RS. It will do it in under 2 mins😉
It's the rider not the ride..
Abhishek well then put this guy in a GT2RS
I might not be soo confident. The GT2 RS has around 700 BHP while the GT3 makes around 500.
The GT3 comes with a naturally aspirated 4.0 Flat-6 hence the power is predictable and controllable.
The GT2 has a twin-turbo, which is susceptible to lag(even the most advanced turbo systems, there is lag), which will make it harder to handle the power.
Also the fact that the extra 200 Horses would mean, Oversteer Armageddon.
@@serenedystopia3488 well they're doing it with the gt2rs . Watch the new promo . They'll be dropping the video soon
Give this guy an AMG GTR PRO and watch this record get shattered.
It is not the car but the driver who wins the race
yeah he could have done it in Swift
I bet you he'll smash alot of records driving my prius lol damn he was smooth on that track.
Is a combination of a great driver and the most advance race car on planet, unbeatable
Seriously?? So u mean it can be achieved in any car? 258 kmph on straight line?
Haha then DRS is for fools, huh?
His Formula 1 career was too good to be true. He was a super fast, super talented driver, sadly in a slow car....he could've really done something phenomenal with the right car to his disposal
Proud to say.. He is my neighbourhood..
Awesome
This man can drive ! Naraim was slow in F1 but he shows in super GT and on here just how good of a driver he truly is. Well don’t sir !
Superb Naren,
Kaafi wait krwayaaaaaaaa
#ProudCoimbatorien From south india's manchester !
#ProudTamilan before a #ProudCoimbatorian!
Why not call Jehan Daruvala once in a while ? He deserves some recognition as the current Indian driver in F2 championship.
The real racer
Wow, that's a good one 👍
Porches gt3 rs is my dream car!!
Brilliant driving man , after watching this i know why you're famous 😁
Narain rocks
Woww Awesome awesome
NK Legend
Nice video
i really hope buddh comes back to f1
Wow
I guess the performante on the other hand can smash the record
Wat a man
Yes india autocar selut....
wow
Nice car 👍
Dang
Wow very nice 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Was the TC and esp on or off, as when you are talking about a road car you need to drive like one as it was sliding alot.
Rohit Saxena don’t talk when you don’t know what you’re talking about.
The sliding compensated for the understeer caused by the street tires. And yes, Traction Control was off, otherwise, powersliding was not possible.
Congrats for setting the record what is u used a Lamborghini Aventador sv for that it would be even more less
Autocar please bring 18:9 videos with a all new intro plz
Pleasure to see GT3 driven in a racetrack by race driver rather than the streets of Mumbai or some sleazy video songs
He is extremely good driver
Its a indian variant of porshe
looks like donuts traces done by vettel in 2013 is still there on the track at 2:47
And here I thought he owned a manual Porsche
Porchse has taken the level to next... May be after 20to25 yrs I think the lap time will be 1 minute... But it will be done by electric sport cars 😂😂😂😂
Wow, old factory tires, traction control on ( not good for racing) and not even in sport mode, WOW, CONGRATULATIONS, BEST CAR EVER, PORSCHE
He mentions it was in sports mode
😍
After dv in Kannada commented I watching this
He's a Former F1 driver. Many things are taken into account. Like the driver style, track temperature, setup of the car. If everything is in a good place, you can go faster. Personally I think this 911 was slow, and Narain could have been much faster in other Cars, like the GT3 RS or A track focused R8. But Indians hardly know other brands so it's okay.
A GT3 RS would've been a better choice but not the R8. It's heavier and much more prone to understeer.
A much better option is the McLaren Senna or the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE.
Damn its not even an RS model... God knows by how much margin would he destroy the record if it was the RS.... But Damn... He drives like a CHAMP...look at those slides....
Those slides are time waster on. Track..
@@Abhishek-150 that's not entirely true. He was running street tires which have a maximum grip compensation of 0.9 Gs on turns.
He would've definitely been faster without oversteering if he was running track tires.
Street tires on their limit tend to understeer which wastes even more time compared to Oversteer.
Narain is an F1 driver. I'm pretty sure he has more knowledge than any of us on how to drive a car faster around a track.
Congrats narain, I remember you telling that you dream a Porsche gt3. So glad you finally owns one.
Porshe is good cat bro
Good job. But we want Formula1 in this track. Please bring it back
Narain should have bought the RS.. hell get a GT2RS and smack the merc out of the race track 🤠
Yeh Buddh International Circuit mein abb formula one race kyu nahi hoti hai pichle 3 - 4 saalon se... Why?
Politics yaar. Govt of India refuses to accept Formula 1 as sports event and calls it entertainment event. That is unacceptable to FIA (FIA is to Motorsports what ICC is to cricket or FIFA is to football)
Imagine if he would have used the gt2 rs that thing is even faster.
And harder to control.
But why was he power sliding?
why esc off?
to push the car to its limit
All wheel drive vs Rear wheel drive. Nothing surprising
They're both Rear Wheel Drive.
Porsche shshshsh......... And the record breaks!
I bet the performante is faster 🙃
Like it
Can a gt2 RS break this record!?
Flying tamilan......
Telgite to be precise... let's say flying Indian?
Narain iz also Nascar race car driver
let's try nurburgring it's the Real circuit to prove
Congratulations, bring the McLaren 600lt, it will break the laptime of gt3
Narain is an amazing driver but why was he under steering so much ?? Anyways grt vid autocrat india
Because he is a amazing driver but not even close to top drivers in the world..
With driver like Sebastien Loeb.. the record could even be under 90 seconds..
Because he was driving his personal car, not company sponsored one and also on stock set of tyres.
The understeer was the result of the use of street tires. It's not that he's a bad driver. He was on a handicapped setup.
@@Abhishek-150 90 seconds you say? The record is of Buddh International circuit is 1 minute, 27 seconds (that's 87 seconds), but the car used was a 980 BHP F1 car.
Even with Vettel or Jim Clarke(the greatest racing driver of all time), the Porsche won't even come close to 90 seconds.
Naren vs Rajni
Just waiting for Mercedes reply to this
sorry not being a Click...but i think the basics of racing is forward movement not sideways. too much drifting to be honest. nevertheless good lap.
Any hope of F1 returning to BIC ?
No
A good F1 track wasted bcoz of lack of collaboration between govt and F1 body and not to say the popularity of this came down after first race as attendence came down due to lack of advertisement and marketing.
should of taken the GT3RS. that's a better competition to the GTR imo
who drove the mercedes to set record which was broken
No offence but the Porsche could have dont a much better around the corners, tht thing is built to take corners like a kinfe.
Show Tesla on the show. It is really good
Only in a straight line and till it hits 120 kph, it's a slug after that.
@@serenedystopia3488 agreed , but its acceleration is unparallel ,if the acceleration is implemented correctly by altering the racing line and braking a bit then its definitely faster than most gt3 and gt2 vehicles out there, and yeah it also comes in a sport mode or smth where it has like a +100 hp , so yeah this 911 thing overrated af
Why not godzilla??
It's outdated now. R35, currently can't even beat an AMG GT-R stock. With some mods, sure.
This karthikeyan breaks record only when circuit is open he cant compete with legends
He is enough potential to compete with f1 racers, but the only problem is sponsorship...
First
