AC GT3 @ Red Bull Ring - Sunday 10th July 2022

[Shed 17]

Ok guys,

With Dmitry, Aki, Joel and Enzo we have 4 aliens for the race Sunday. Make sure to save the replay as this can be a great learning opportunity!

Wow! It will be a privilege to be part of this race, even if I will be watching my mirrors and real-time quite a bit I think............... looking forward to this one!

Chris is recovering from COVID but he is looking forward to race with us again in the near future.

It's either in no mans land or stuck behind a GT-R Lambo is more fun, it can overtake and defend well against the nissans.

I prefer you being stuck behind my GT-R!

And for guys that like close racing, a lot of grip, able to go over curbs and love the sensation of using DRS: https://www.racedepartment.com/threads/mad-formula-mft01-baku-wed-13th-july-2022.241324/

Easy solved: go with the Porsche!*

I support this message!

The (my) biggest problem with the GT3 cars is, there are too many of them. Still, after nearly 2 years of GT3 racing, I can't decide on one car and stick with it

I really like the GT-R because of its onboard sound and power out of corners
I really like the McLaren because I'm fastest with it
I really like the Ferrari because it feels very sharp in corners and also has a great onboard sound
I really like the Lambo because of its straight line speed and pointiness in corners
I really like the BMW because of its easy handling and superb stopping power

I don't like the Audi because it makes weird onboard noises which annoy me
Glick/SLS are not competitive with me behind the wheel.

Porsche, still haven't tried it - see my problem?

If you want better sounds in the Audi (or any of the GT3 cars) then Brian posted a link to some sound mods

The Audi still has an odd internal gear whine sound but I've found that you can edit this by changing the guid on the gear_int line from the GUID.txt file - I swapped it for the 911 ( which is a bit further down the file)

Never knew how to call that ugly sound but "gear whine" fits perfect I already use soundpacks for I think all of the GT3 cars but I didn't know I can edit them in such a specific way

The sound in the Audi is a compressor, building up pressure for the pneumatic shifts.

I can live without it

It was a hack I thought I'd try and not documented anywhere

Before I forget, here are some pictures of the ADAC GT Masters event @Spielberg RB Ring I've visited this year. The best motorsport event I've been so far. 29€ entry + 20€ for the grid walk 15min before race start. No big crowds, free choice of seating, all-access to nearly all areas, pit-walk, a cool Red Bull Museum with F1 cars, Nascar, MotoGP bikes ...

I was there on saturday and watched qualy and race for GT2, GT3, GT3, Porsche Supercup an a smaller hatchback racing series. Really impressive stuff. Btw track limits at T1 are non existend. (But that was agreed upon the drivers before the race). Anyways now I have an excuse for Sunday

That's my old teammate and good friend Dennis Lind in the #88 McLaren

Bit slower than RSR times

I only had eyes for the cars

Great reading,
I thought I would give the Mercedes a go, I am pretty much on the same pace at Spa, so had hoped for it here.
As I am a midfielder, thought I would say were I am with the Mercedes, “no where”, what a strange car it is here.
Loads of setup possibilities, none seem to make a fast lap much different.
It is though it laps in treacle.
I can make it stable, I can make its average lapping much more consistent.
I am about a second slower, and cannot get around that.
Spa, it laps within tenths of my best time??
I will stick with it for a while longer, in the hope I have a brain wave, come to think of it that is a bit unlikely as my brain is in treacle too.

It's nice to drive. Comfortable, sounds great. My P2 in it has yet to be beaten, maybe never will But that was at Le mans so, maybe similar to SPA it needs a very high speed track to perform. I tried it at brands... It was nice to drive but out of the blocks slow versus the gt-r crew it was, as you say, stuck in treacle.
