Really awesome and very helpful. I have been concentrating on GT3 and GTE alot the last couple seasons and this kind of well made, informative video is very helpful. Thank you foe all the effort.
This thing is called unbiased evaluation.....many people like Ferrari or mecs or lambo and put them on top without any soild reason.....but u have analysed every small factor which affects the driving in iracing.... thank u so much....I have lambo thanks to u👍👍👍u deserve millions of subs
Myself being very Amatuer(B1.1k and climbing) and having only been a member iRacing for a few months find this content super duper Helpful for deciding on purchases. Although I purchased both new GT3's I found the BMW much easier to drive, but the Lambo way faster over a lap/race. Something about how it seems to be trying just a little harder to kill you really helps with focus.
No worries at all Principal! Just bear in mind, this video is a bit outdated at this point, BUT I'll be uploading a new one for the 22' Season hopefully sometime in the next 3 weeks, which will have a lot more relevance to you :) Thanks for checking out the video!
@@BeauAlbert Thank you. I did notice that it was a year old, but it gave me a great starting point. I just hit the sub button and looking forward to more videos.
Just an absolutely great video Beau. Thank you for making it. Great presentation, great testing, and just all around great information. Just total appreciation towards your effort and skill to put this video together. We fan of the channel and can’t wait to see your future content.
This is a fantasically produced video. Incredibly informative and useful. Compellingly written and delivered. I know how much work this must have been. THANK YOU!
I may be a Gran Turismo fan... but these IRacing videos of yours in particular are insanely excellently made and I look forward to them due to the editing style and work put in. Good job!
Thanks so much Razin! I'm actually making it a goal in 2021 to cover more Platforms, and being a Gran Turismo player in my younger years, that's very high on my list of things to make videos on! Appreciate you watching my iRacing content, hopefully I can reward you soon with some GT 🙂👌
I just found you from this video and you earned a sub from me, some of the best sim racing content I've seen. As someone new to GT3 racing this is super helpful!
This is some of the best content for iRacing i have seen. Not just the subject itself but also the background footage with some drop dead nice slowmo's. The presentation was very nice. Good clear sound and very didgestable. Should add another section "Looks" though ofc the Lambo would win that hands down ;) I was quite surprised by the tiredegradation on the Ferrari, since the irl car is praised for being nice to it's tires, though that likely goes more for even wear then overall wear. Not sure if iRacing is the same but in ACC the Lambo does eat the rears a bit faster, something to think about when you loose the top of the tire performance
I really don't understand why you have only 3.4k subscribers. This video is just a piece of art so I hope more people will discover you in the future and keep up the good work!
I'm so glad they fixed the high speed drag nerf on the 488...the power cut and tire wear are a much better way to keep it from dominating large tracks.
I do like this video! I was on edge regarding driving the BMW and the Lambo. I build setups for both of them and have great feedback on the setups4.iracing discord, but that said I did choose the BMW. There is one underlying problem with this test, and that is the setups. While it is completely fair what you did here, the difference on the actual competitve setups for both the BMW and the Lambo are what skew it. While a couple minor changes to the Lambo prove to make it a really fast and competitive car, the BMW is a prototype and I believe based on my testing and constant telemetry, not enough time was taken for testing the baseline setups as it took many hours of testing before I was able to come up with a comfortable/competitive setup for the BMW. Its throwing its weight all over the place, and super inconsistent oversteer to understeer to oversteer again behavior definitely skewed your lap time and tire wear tests at a minimum. The base setup needs 200lb/inch stiffer front springs, a d5-d6 front bar, 100lb/in stiffer rear springs, and at least a d3-d4 bar in the rear. Not only that but the rear differential does not have enough locking force in the design of the game. It is the only GT3 car I have driven that will completely unload a rear tire coming out of tight corners which absolutely points to a diff with not enough plates in it and a constant oversteery feeling. Needs a bit of work, but I'm willing to guess that if these issues were addressed, the BMW would have won or been so close to the lambo it would be an absolute preference decision.
Very interesting! In the interest of fairness, of course I had to use the Presets, but I'm interested to try some of your recommendations over the next week to see if the M4 can take a step forward with it! I'll need to compare what VRS / PDS / CSS etc do with their baseline setups for these cars to see if they're dramatically different to the iR Presets. Love the input Sean!
Hey Beau, excellent video. Could we please get a table at the end with the results and times/scores to see things like the gap in lap and acceleration times?
Haha thanks man! Inbetween all the driving, spreadsheets tracking results and scores, Editing, rendering etc it came up at about 30 - 35ish hours over 5 days
Like always, Ford > Ferrari :) honestly surprised that the GT wasn't last. And you're right, it's awkward as hell to drive but feels so good once you get it down.
I wish the GT was last... 🤣 I hate it, but honestly it's not as bad as I expected overall. Fix the FFB and you've actually got a very competitive car! Still don't know how you put up with it haha! Credit to you
Great video. I know a lot of work went into it. The Audi has been my favorite car but in my initial tests with the Lambo it's seems a more stable Audi. Not sure if I'll switch yet.
Hi, I’ve been following your content for a while now, and I must say you have a collection of the most beautiful liveries out there, are they available for everyone or just team members?
Hey dude, Love the video, really well made as always! I really like the Model of the AMG with your livery on it, where can I get something like that made?
I have always been most comfortable driving stable cars, as I think most people are. But I have always been fastest in nervous, loose cars. H The reason is because I always know when I am at my limit in those cars. In stable cars I have always had trouble staying close to my limit. With stable cars I am always under my limit or going over it.
Great video! On endurance races last season we saw mclaren’s do an incredible amount of laps on a tank compared to other gt3s. Should I explain that as ‘the bigger tank opens more options, not just measured by fuel consumption?’
Honestly wouldn't need much in my opinion. It's very hard to say an exact figure without being able to test it and work things out, but it certainly doesn't have to be an extreme amount. :)
There are two things IMO. 1) The track i use is very different to circuits like Spa (Audi fest) and Road America. (Mclaren Fest) Perhaps in future videos i need to test on both an 'overall' circuit like Motegi, PLUS another track that is faster, like Silverstone, Spa, Road Am etc. 2) Setups. For complete parity, i used the iRacing Presets, Low downforce and Medium Downforce. It is possible these are not perfectly balanced in themselves, and also that one car has more potential in setup than others. For myself, i can always find a solid amount of time in the Audi Setup, where as so far i've struggled to get too much out of the BMW for example. Very valid question so thanks for asking! Keen to hear your thoughts on anything you think i may have missed too
The 911 RSR is a GTE class car 🙂 It will be faster in a straight line, acceleration and about 2-3 seconds at least over a laptime. Currently no Porsche in GT3 on iRacing.
@@BeauAlbert thank you, I just discovered your channel and saw the GTE balance, explains why I can’t seem to compete in the RSR but can get wins in Cup, seems like it’s lacking against its competitors.
Great video but on certain tracks the Ferrari is just miles better than the Lamborghini. Nordshliefe I’m so much faster in the Ferrari, it just rides the kerbs and bumps better than everything else. It also goes 5KM faster in high downforce down the huge back straight.
Yeah absolutely 🙂 I even mentioned that I think the Ferrari is actually quite good, but Motegi didn't suit it. The Ferrari has always been very good on kerbs so I'm not surprised you're faster at Nörd's in it! 😁
That's a Porsche Cup Car, it doesn't run in the GT3 class. The production car it's based off is called a GT3, which is why that is included in it's name :)

Would you be able to make a 2022 version with how much more prevalent GT3 will be next year?
That's the plan... ;) Watch this space haha
Great!
Do you have any suggestions on adding weight or power reduction to make the lambo and bmw on par with the merc?
Honestly wouldn't need much in my opinion. It's very hard to say an exact figure without being able to test it and work things out, but it certainly doesn't have to be an extreme amount. :)
Thanks for the Video, i think they should have made the GT3 Ford legacy content instead of the Z4.
I really think the Ford should have been Legacy content quite some time ago to be honest! It's so outdated it's kind of insane haha
