This video on GT3 series racing actually made me a lot more comfortable with my current skillset as a sim racer. It may just be me, but it's a breath of fresh air for someone to tell me, "yes, these cars are (relatively) easy to drive and you will be consistent, albeit (relatively, again) slow." It lets me know that I'm not as hopeless as I lead myself on to believe, if that makes sense.

Really is sad to see higher-level classes like GT1, with less (well, maybe less) BOP strangling and less focus on the "gentleman driver", die. Where are the real pros supposed to go? Into prototypes, I guess? It's still difficult for me to come to terms with the fact that there really is no more "top level" of GT racing. And I really don't consider GT3 to be the top level; in my mind, GT1 and maybe 2 are where the big, nasty, exciting ground-pounders (say, Aston DB9) run, while GT3 is for their runty younger brothers (say, Aston DBS).

I consider now the GT500 in the Japanese Super GT series the top GT cars, I mean, they're as fast as some prototypes!!! Another option for the top notch GT cars are DTM cars, they're also very fast, but I don't rally know that series that much.

@@Starfire_Storm To call GT500 or DTM a "GT" class is a lie. They're GTs in the same way that NASCAR Cup Cars and Aussie V8s are touring cars; that is to say, all of two body panels on the "Super GT" actually come from a road car. Not to say they're not cool, but you may as well just call them what they are: fat prototypes in disguise.

I fucking loved racing touring cars with my direct drive wheel. Right up until a massive shunt i had in a minor sim racing league race at Brands Hatch. I did a Johnny Herbert into the barrier at Pilgrim's Drop. The kickback from my diect drive wheel on the impact was so sudden and violent i broke both my wrists. I never took part in a sim race again. My wrists were never the same. I still do league racing in Forza where i use the pad as i dont have to use my wrists as much.

played a lot of gt3 in iRacing (i can be a bimmer douchebag :D), there are some stupid moments but overall its FAR BETTER than the formula Renault 2.0 where EVERYONE tries to "Senna" his way into turn 1 ... to the point where i took a 3 weeks break from iRacing. I only race the 991 GT3 now and its much better on my nerves :)

I miss Group C racing, now those are race cars, the Sauber C9, 787B, Talbot 905 (I think) they looked and sounded amazing, and I think the Sauber C9 in its iconic Silver Livery is one of if not the best looking race car of all time, right up there with the Gulf GT40’s and Porsche GT1’s and CLK GTRs and F50 GT’s, Toyota GT-One, Even Prosts 90’s Ferrari F1 car, there’s a lot of sexy cars up the top and I’ve named barely any of them, but the Sauber is the one that draws my attention the most, and I honestly don’t know why but I love it, bring back proper Group C. :)

@AlexSinclair

GT3 wasn't supposed to be this quick. If you look at the lap times of the 2016 machinery and compare it to when the series launched, it's like a whole different series. We see this a lot with international regulations -- they get popular and then they get MUCH quicker. Regulations need to be modified every few years just to keep pace at a reasonable level. Current GT3 cars were not meant to be lapping the Nurburgring at this speed, and they've tried a few different measures at the N24 races to push back on that. Personally, I think the GT4 concept plays a major part in how this plays out.. The FIA could dramatically alter the landscape of GT racing by limiting driver aids on GT3 and extending the use of aids on GT4 cars to compensate for the difference. Gentlemen drivers would then be more likely to swerve towards more suitable racing classes and leave the pros to handle GT3. However, there is the issue that sportscar racing is largely funded by the gentlemen drivers and that relegating them to a lower series would absolutely cripple GT3 as a worldwide series. I dunno. It's more of an issue in sim-racing than real life, because if you're the amateur driver hopping in the car three or four times a year, you're likely the one paying for any damage that occurs. Regardless of how many iRacing demerits/credits/whatever you earn for bad behaviour, nothing would teach you how to drive clean better than divebombing a competitor only to get T-boned and spend the rest of your week in bed with some serious pains.

I think you overextend on the reasons why GT3 is so popular in the sim racing side. It´s this simple: anyone can drive them.
@Derpy-qg9hn
@Derpy-qg9hn 5 лет назад
I think WTCC cars would be significantly more popular if this were the full story. They're easy to drive (mostly), yes, but they also resemble (well, kinda really are) the cars that every kid's wet dreams are about, and are just challenging and interesting enough to drive that, when little simJohnny saves his first oversteer, he will never look back.

GTLM from TUDOR seems a logical step beyond GT3 (of which they have GTD being very similar) where they have greater cealings of performance and fill a speed gap between GT3 and LMP. I loved GT1 racing when it was around, the biggest of exotics from Saleen, Ford, Lambo etc. Just hopefully one car doesn't show up and ruin the competition.
