how could you call this boring for a second.. after seeing a single in-car angle, and any of the emotion of the drivers, team, etc.. different strokes, i guess.. i enjoyed it.
Nice to hear that they eventually found out that it's not straightline speed that was helping Farfus in the fast section, but aerodynamic grip. Also, according to Jan Seyffarth, the M6 can go flat through Flughafen (Nordschleife) which the AMG can't do. Add dirty air to that and it gets really difficult to catch up to the M6 over some fast turns.

RIP sir, Thank you for the memories!!! Well done Farfus!
I love this circuit, I really do, but I don't think it works for GT racing. This was like watching locomotives race on the same track. It felt like a showcase more than a race.
So many people are complaining how boring the race is. I have always compare this circuit to the Mount Panorama circuit in Bathurst Australia. The narrow street section resembles that of the hill section in Bathurst. It's not about overtaking but to navigate through all the corners flawlessly: the steering timing must be precise; managing such power on the undulating surface is quite a feat even for professional drivers; maintaining the grip while trail braking downhill requires seriously finest touches. I really wish this circuit is added to more racing sims so that I could have a go in it. My only complaint would be that I wish the race be longer. A five hour endurance race in Macau would definitely introduce more dramas and overtakes.
I hate Macau with a passion as a viewer and on racing games of all types. It's boring and horrible. Bathurst on the other hand is the greatest track in the world.
Plenty of passing to be done at Bathurst through the cutting and a bad run through Sulman or McPhillamy makes a passing opportunity and a good run through makes a passing opportunity over Skyline and into the esses then you have a good shot up the inside at the elbow.
It's amazing how entertaining such a race can be with little to none overtaking taking place, if you followed the whole race, for me it was great to watch. Great camera angles and sounds helps with this type of racing. He was struggling with the tyres towards the end, will be interesting to see if Porsche will take a win for a change this year 2023.
Everyone whining about how tight the circuit is. aight, a few corners and straights can only have 2 cars in it, which is only 1 for safety if you dont want damage. But it goes from tight to wide back to tight so often, get close in the straight, better exit in the wide, secure position in the tight. It's not easy to do but half the brainlets in the comments think they're the schumacher of all things racing. These are professional drivers. They know more than you'll ever be able to learn
Well said! These drivers are the best of the best. They know when it is safe to overtake and when to wait. This fact alone makes them top-notch drivers. Farfus drove perfectly and gave up zero chances to overtake. Just incredible.
ahahhha that Porsche bouncing off the wall reminds me of old school online racing games where people would bounce off the walls to go faster on the track and there was no damage LOLLL
Pretty obvious that BMW is pulling away in straight line. Those AMG’s isn’t fast enough to catch the BMW. But overall it’s good race to watch, it has bmw, Merc, Porsche, Audi and GTR~👍🏼
Mercedes weren't going too bad, a Merc set fastest lap of the race and Mercs came in 2nd and 3rd, but yes, the BMW and its driver Augusto Farfus was just too good.
As a driver they know how the circuit is, if they’re losing its because they’re just not fast enough in qualifying etc, sounds like a personal problem to me, want to win? Be the fastest by any means
The Guia Circuit, or Circuito da Guia, is a street circuit located at the southeast region of the Macau Peninsula in Macau. It is the venue of the Macau Grand Prix and Guia Race of Macau. The circuit consists of long straights and tight corners, and features the characteristics of a typical street circuit - narrow, bumpy and limited overtaking opportunities. However, there are two special features that can rarely be found in other street circuits - variation in altitude (over 30 m (100 ft) between highest and lowest point of the circuit) and an ultra long main straight that allows top speed of 260 km/h (160 mph) on Formula Three cars. As a result, the circuit is recognised as one of the most challenging circuits in the world in terms of both driving and tuning, as cars have to maintain competitive speed to overcome hill-climbing, twisty corners and long straights in a single lap.
@@shoppingcart2589 go back to COD you little bot, do your own research and learn to be able to distinguish between generally accepted facts and opinion
@bovalveyt Yeah, even NASCAR is not as competitive like it used to be due to bullshot health n safety regs, and Nascar was the one motor racing circuit that was relaxed you could say fuck it and go wild.
69 liken Alfa Romeo dominated the DTM touring car racing from 1991 to 1995 totally...German race cars had no challenge... Alfa Romeo dominated the British touring car and the WTCC from 1994 to 2005! This is a different competition but i believe Alfa Romeo with the Giulia QV could do well.
@@roger41450 Alfa racing cars pre 2010 were godlike however their production cars were unreliable. I'd rather see Alfa in DTM for this season than Aston Martin
Perhaps, but at least it's not the Daytona 500 where it's too easy to pass. The 2011 race had 74 lead changes, never mind the more than 1,000 passes in total among the rest of the field. It's like Macau and Daytona are at opposite extremes of the spectrum. Perhaps Motorsport needs to find a middle ground. ;-)
Exactly, it's a brilliant track especially for the drivers, the adrenaline you could get here is similar to that of the Nurburgring, and you don't get lots of overtake there either but every driver loves it anyways.
The track is 70 years old, the track is legendary thats why they race there, it is just the modern GT cars get so fat so the track gets even narrower.

BoP is so important especially on tracks like these. The 2 AMGs were a bit faster but not enough th overtake in the corners (especially not on this track) and were 1-2kmh too slow on the straight. That gives the car in front a easy win. I tell you after the first lap iam pretty sure he already knew he would win. Only a mistake would cost him the win
Not really, you just have to be really good at driving. You can apply for it, get tested, trial and error. Once you pass, you will be working for a team, you'll get paid in salary as there are sponsors supporting the team you're in.
@@Temmoie You forget the part about becoming really good at driving. That's the expensive part of motorsport. And you have to start young to really have a chance at racing at this level. So you need to be able to financially support a child (who might not be interested in racing in a few years). There are a lot of exceptions to this though, but in general motorsport racing at this level is mainly for the rich.
