    Every time they release a new car it becomes the fastest so that everybody goes and buys it. We all know that.This is how they make loads of money.

    Great video thank a lot. Would also have been very interesting to see which cars were best using the fixed setup not the baseline.

      That would be awesome. Many slower guys only race in fixed series and maybe don't have time to do all setups etc, but I've heard the fixed setups change the outcome quite a lot so would me mega helpful for sure 👍🏻
      Can't imagine many people use the baseline setup tbh 🤔 as they no doubt mod that to what they like. Thanks for the reply 👍🏻 subbed and shared the vid in our league 👍🏻

    Could you do deeper comparison instead of just lap times? Straight line speed, braking power, etc

    I’ve honestly found the 296 to be very stable and forgiving, while having much better front end and brakes than the 488. I used to drive the Audi but the new one feels way too eager to swap ends

    • @SteelRiverSims
      @SteelRiverSims  7 місяців тому +1

      It's nicely balanced at the moment I feel. Depending on your preference there's a few options that ppl can be competitive in

    Can anyone tell me if its just me but I found the laptimes i set in the 296 before the update to be a lot faster than what i can get now, so is the 296 really slower in this update or am i just tweeking

    The Porsche was the quickest car around Silverstone during IMSA Week 12 and the Ferrari was a little off pace. Interesting

    • @Basmx195
      @Basmx195 7 місяців тому

      It still is! Maybe except for the Audi/lambo not sure. Porsche and Ferrari are unchanged so that still is the case. I expect that Steel is simply way more comfortable in the Ferrari as he drove it a bunch. Porsche is still "fastest".

  • @famousdave7219

    The Macca wants a *lot* of rake, and some other less than intuitive settings.

    • @famousdave7219
      @famousdave7219 5 місяців тому

      Alright, so I've been tuning this thing for the last couple days in preparation for our league race tonight (the apex is lava, Nordschleife combined long) and I'm prepared to explain further:
      The Macca is super weird to setup, in some ways it's pretty disingenuous to the point where I wonder if it's actually broken.
      First off, as previously stated, she wants a lot of rake. An inch or more is a good starting point. You want to get around 36% df to the front wheels via the calculator. I top this off with -1° rear wing
      You'd think lowering the front sway bar would help, but anything under 6 loses front traction, so leave that up and max out the rear bar
      Now things get really weird. Where you'd usually toe the front out and the rear in, the Macca wants those *reversed*. So even though toe out is a last resort on most cars you can get away with it here, I use -1/8" combined and at the front go with all the toe In you can get without yellow banding. Iirc it's pretty much 3/8" combined.
      Camber needs to be maxed at both ends.

    Mpower - estoi enamorado del sonido del M4 GT4 se ha convertido en mi noche favorito, ahora con la Mpower Tour compre el Z4, comprare el M8 GTE y el M4 GT3 y posible que el Hybrib también. Así que si, M4 GT3 será mi primer GT3 que me tomaré en serio. El Ferrari ya lo tengo pero ya tiene su serie Fixed 😊

    Do you think the Porsche might be the safest bet for someone new to GT3 cars? I'm just about to B class and im starting to think about moving from Mazda to GT3 once I hit B class, I'm not looking for the fastest car on the track, but the most forgiving for beginner errors.

    • @SteelRiverSims
      @SteelRiverSims  6 місяців тому

      BMW all day for most forgiving and easiest to drive. It's by far the safest bet for me. Porsche can snap at times at lower downforce. I've never had a problem with the BMW 👍

    The Ferrari this season is a totally different car compared to last season. Daytona fixed setup compared to literally every other GT3 car has zero pace
