RODIN'S FZED SMASHES LAP RECORD AT HIGHLANDS DRIVEN BY CURRENT RECORD HOLDER LIAM LAWSON
The New Zealand-built Rodin FZED single-seater track car smashed the outright lap record at Highlands Motorsport Park yesterday when Liam Lawson lowered the fastest official lap time by 6-seconds.
Lawson’s time of 1m23.75s was clocked during a lunchtime demonstration run and as such will not be officiated, leaving his 2019 lap time of 1m29.910 as the official benchmark.
After setting the lap time Lawson quipped he’d “given it a decent go.”
“The car felt really good, the balance was good, I think we were slightly high in the tyre pressures because I started to lose the rears towards the end of the last lap especially, but I’m happy with the fastest lap. It was nice to show people how fast the car is,” said Lawson.
“Turn 3, the massive sort of sweeper with the wall around the outside, in there I was surprised by how I could keep carrying more and more speed and the car was dealing with it quite nicely.”
An official lap record can only be established during an actual race, which Lawson did on his Toyota Racing Series debut at the Cromwell-based track almost three years ago.
This was the first time the Rodin FZED had been seen on a public race track in New Zealand since a cameo appearance at Ruapuna several years ago, and proves it is the fastest single-seater racing car in the country.
But could the lap record holder have gone even faster?
“With a new set of tyres and a proper set-up from more track time, I’m sure there’s another 1 or 2-seconds. It wouldn’t be much more than that,” added the 19-year-old Red Bull Junior, who is backed by Rodin cars in Formula 2.
With time restraints from the racing programme, Lawson only had three laps in the lunchtime break in which to record his fastest time.
Highlands is the second successive race track the Rodin FZED has set an unofficial lap record. Late last year at Donington, UK it went under their official fastest lap time.
The Rodin FZED is powered by a Cosworth GPV8 producing 675hp and is built at Rodin Cars manufacturing and test track facility at Mt Lyford.
Attending Highlands for the weekend was more than just a record-setting time for Lawson who enjoyed being back at his “favourite race circuit in the world.”
“The whole weekend at Highlands was fun for me. I had my whole family down here as well and the support from everybody was really, really cool. A lot of people were coming up to say hello, I greatly appreciate the support from everyone.”
Lawson has the chance to continue his record-setting pace when he drives the Rodin FZED in more lunchtime demonstrations at Ruapuna, Christchurch this coming weekend.

dude is on the edge wrestling with the car on the limit! won't be surprised if he was given a seat in F1 in the next few years
Absolute joke they gave Tsunoda another season instead of him.
@@max.racinghes currently driving for alfa tauri full time as a replacement
I wish he could drive for Rodin in f1.their car is impressive.
@@peterhazelwood9325 a F1 car on this track would do atleast 4-5s faster... this car is not on par with F1.. not even F2
@@john_iceman4285 He isnt no, Qatar is his last race this season, then he wont race in 2024
We need this type of camera for the F1 onboards... really shows how insanely fast they are.
Wide angle & shaky camera make it look fast, but not good for broadcast
@@retmania once in a while would be nice though, just to remind the fans how intense it is
I mean, why not? Indy car uses it.... @@retmania
@@gustavoehler and their viewership is miles behind lol
@@adamszabo2874 but that's not because of the camera setup. That's largely because IndyCar is a regional championship, whereas F1 is a world championship
That was seriously impressive... That car looks twitchy AF... The way he's fighting it all the way through the long right hander near the beginning, that big moment at about 1.09, then that massive moment at about 1.15; wow... He's a truly talented driver.
F 1 has a seat for this guy
Indeed
This aged well
Indeed
Indeed
And he did not disappoint
My jaw dropped when he went over the bridge and the front wheels lifted off the ground
This means you are easiliy impressed. ;)
Wow, and that was just a demonstration lap! more time to come with new tyres and better set up reckons Lawson.
That Rodin has some performance - 6sec faster than the Toyota racing record, and near 20 sec faster than the GT racing lap record!
the speed is unbelievable, it looks sped up it's so fast. Incredible
I wish i could have a shred of this guys talent holy i honestly have no words
at first I thought he was taking it easy. and then I saw the rest of the lap.
i miss this guy in f1 , He is bette than half of the grid imo . Look at his racing record and how quickly he was able to adapt in that f1 car
Insane! What a treat to watch
Amazing Driver, lap and circuit!
1:13
there's the talent
Amazing car control
Massive code brown at 1:07
That looks like a really violent ride damn
What a fucking awesome race track!
Wow this circuit looks proper fun
I'm here for his imminent F1 debut.
holy shit that snap at 1:06
The front wheels were literally flying for a moment
I watch so much sim racing im not able to tell anymore when a video is irl or in game
look at the head movement
@@user-lq9xd7sd8o I know my friend, it was an exaggeration.
absolutely amazing graphics. I love these modern racing simulations
You should go outside more often.
For some reason this camera makes it look so much more “real” compared to f1 onboards.
Now I love f1 onboards and how they look, but you get such a good view of distance and speed. I guess the video looks like it was taken with a go pro too so it has that home video feel.
That's talent!
See that airtime over the crest!!!
Ah! Apparently, this track is in New Zealand. Never heard of it before.
Holy shit this is incredible. I thought the video was sped up at the start
We NEED this camera in F1 NOW!!!!!
Nice circuit, Kiwis.
Ouch... Wrists
at where?
Wow, best update in graphics for Assetto Corsa.
I thought highlands was a road in the uk (for assetto corsa nerds like me)
What was the lap record before this?
GET THIS MAN A SEAT AN I AINT TALKIN SPANISH CONSUMER VEHICLE
Give gizzy a go in that car
that looks more fun than f1!
Awesome lap… i was there a day after the record was obliterated
I was there on the day itself and I got a photo with Liam Lawson (he later became a f1 driver)!
This is even faster han video games fps.
i actually couldnt tell if it was a game or not XD
Liam Lawson the future F1 GOAT 🐐
That first chicane is sexy, reminds me of watkins glen
1:06 :O
Cool track. Not sure if this is a game or real life.
It’s rl
That is not normal
🤣🇳🇿🤘
I bet after reviewing this video the driver knows he can do better.
Dude. Get this guy in Sergio's seat. Make it happen.
Wide angle lens exaggerates the speed but total respect for Liam Lawson's talent.
I'm surprise Jamie Chadwick Rodin's chosen driver to represent them in F1 bid is not faster than Liam
Lol
asseto corsa graphics be crazy (joke)
With all the bullshit going on at Aston Martin with Lance driving like turd and then losing main sponsor Cognizant, they should take a punt on this kid - what do they have to lose?
That’s a track .. F1 needs to go there
wow mit dem Auto keine Kunst?
How is F1 cams make cars look very very slow. This car obviously slower than f1 yet looks faster.
Very bumpy circuit (don't tell this to lewis hamilton).
Liam scored more points in 3 races than Tsunoda in the whole season. Don't know why Alphatauri wants to go with Ricciardo and Tsunoda for next season...
A lot of shimmying on the wheel, oversteer and very slow through the long T6, I rackon I could do a 1.22.9 something like that
Shi looks sped up💀
and max verstappen wins….. oh wait this aint F1
i could do it a second faster
U say this but u didn’t even Win a a fia kart championship
No
Wow the. Rfactor2. Track. Did not know was real. ..so embarrassed
