A year ago I unknowingly set one of the fastest laps ever recorded at SpeedVegas in a Porsche 992 GT3 RS. That lap was quicker than Charles Leclerc, Juan Pablo Montoya, and Rubens Barrichello.
This time I went back to Las Vegas with a clear objective: take the official record.

What looks like a “tourist driving experience” on the surface becomes very different when you’re chasing tenths. Traffic management. Instructor trust. Tyre temperature. Strategy. Every variable matters.
Coming from UK single-seater racing (F1000), I’m used to slicks, wings and fine margins. In that world, 2–3 seconds is a lifetime. At SpeedVegas, it turned out to be exactly that.
This video breaks down:
- Why warm-up cars matter more than you think
- How cold tyres can kill a lap before it starts
- The psychology of pushing when someone else’s life is in the passenger seat
- And what separates a good lap from a record lap
- Racing isn’t just about bravery. It’s about preparation.
If you enjoy real motorsport, not staged influencer laps, you’ll probably like the rest of the channel.
New F1000 season starts soon.
Should I go back next year and try again?
