Sure seemed to be, but he then caught and passed the 458 in a hurry and seemed to be gaining on the 12C

I take it back, he seemed to start gaining on the 12C then near the end, it's hard to tell, but it seems as the 12C caught another gear that only rocket ships have and started to pull again. I'd love to see another camera at the end to really see the end result.

I've not received my Turbo S but I imagine when using Launch control, that the Porsche should've been like a sling shot out of the gate... the driver did look like he was sleeping!

Like everyone else here, where's part 2?? Or the other finish line camera??

split is infamous around these partssplit is infamous around these partssplit is infamous around these partssplit is infamous around these parts
so, things we have learned from the video:

1) the driver of the mclaren had the fastest reaction time
2) the driver of the porsche had the slowest reaction time

that is all.
