CRAZY Full Race at PORTIMAO in the MERCEDES AMG GT3 | POV Onboard

[@NathanieI87]

4:55 gotta love the quick upshift to prevent the loss of traction while accelerating. All in all very aggressive and technical driving! All the best from Germany

[@DaanArrow]

Thank you!

[@SundanceBN]

Yes. I did a rewind on that scene. Very nice!

[@danielmiller6983]

Man seriously. This is incredible

[@zootalk]

The way you drove that car, the way it behaved on track, the way you had to save it had COMPLETELY no such similarity with what iRacing offers but reacted exactly how ACC works. There you go, which is the best sim?? ;)

[@DaanArrow]

It was fully wet so that changes things significantly! To learn iRacing is a better sim, however it strongly depends on personal taste and your goals 👊🏼

[@rickpostema849]

Brake model and tyre model is way better in iRacing then every sim on the market

[@SNAFU..]

Handles like a cow patt.....

[@SchleicherMotorsport]

Every real racer I talked to, says iracing is better.

[@rickpostema849]

It's more then a sim, iRacing got people behind the sim. It's more a company, they know what their doing since 2008. The physics are more important then some graphics.

[@s3m-43]

2:30 casually going 225 hands free on a wet track😂💪🔥

[@FG_SIMRACING]

@s3m-43 My Fanatec Podium DD2 with Porsche wheel would DANCE if I let go the wheel like this on the straight 😂 I need much dampening to make it stop oscilate like crazy.

[@masterkamen371]

Well in sim racing, it's not really the goal to have realistic steering feel, there's a lot more going on with the force feedback than there is in reality, where you can feel most things elsewhere. So it does make sense as to why the real wheel is dampened so much.

[@neozone_tfp]

@@masterkamen371it is, how do you think most GT3 drivers get their reactions plus reaction training behind it?

[@neozone_tfp]

@@masterkamen371I race in GT7, not lobbies full of idiots who can’t drive, actually for a team, and the feeling on GT3’s is pretty real as i run low traction control and low ABS so it’s really difficult to drive and the like of snap oversteer understeer come into play, plus I don’t race with major assists like most do

[@neozone_tfp]

@@masterkamen371same goes for real race drivers who have sims, next to no assist except maybe brake bias and ABS

[@morgan5190]

Gran Turismo 7 has actually nailed the AMG sound.

[@clarifaco]

Blind corners, elevations, corners with no support at all, puts physics to a new level of commitment and sensorial driving...! This looks like a very technical circuit 😮😮😮

[@texasfoci]

I have nothing to add or take away from that drive. You obviously know what you're doing and I wasn't in the car and cannot feel or see what you do but the results are obvious. You are an absolute professional and I truly appreciated watching you get after it and honing your craft as you've done. Well done Sir ! 10/10 Edit: Liked/Subscribed

[@xtnuser5338]

One of my students has asked me why I keep telling him to be smooth, but he keeps seeing race car drivers sawing at the steering wheel. I've tried many times to explain - and not just to this one student - that the intent is for the CAR to follow a smooth line, for the CAR to have smooth weight transitions, etc., and for the DRIVER to do whatever is necessary to achieve that state. I'm going to show him this video so it might trigger an understanding within him. It makes for an excellent example. I love how you make traction corrections to the rear with your steering inputs, but we can hear through the audio that your throttle foot is very disciplined no matter what your hands are doing. It is so fun to watch a master produce his art with a good tool. Thank-you for posting.

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks man 🙌🏼

[@PurXion_legendary_777]

18 DAMN YEARS AGO !!!! I WAS JUST A BIT OVER 9 MONTHS OLD WHEN YOU CREATED THIS ACCOUNT LOL. Wow. Woah. Hi.

[@mikejohnson5900]

That was wild! The big Merc seemed to have more top end than the Porsches. Also, so cool how you short shifted to prevent the rears from spooling up in the wet - excellent! You are quite a driver Dean and loved seeing you at work in your office!

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks man, keep in mind I was one of the only full spec GT3’s so a lot more aero which helps with the main straight given the characteristics of the last corner 😉

[@ThatBluePit]

This car sounds GODLY! And of course YOU are handling this beast like a boss. Well done my friend

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks a lot!

[@jeebus2121]

8:57 - I know it's slow in a racecar and frowned upon, but I love few things more than driving in greasy conditions with undulating roads like that. It lets you steer with the throttle and really hone technique at fairly low speeds.

[@fe_ramoso]

wow... those lines on wet and that control... impressive, my friend! that's real talent!!!

[@DaanArrow]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@gencimeraj2115]

That's having complete confidence in your ability to know exactly how the car and track are going to behave... pure commitment. That was a very pleasant video!

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks man, happy you enjoyed 👊🏼

[@YoshiBoi750]

Sick ! Well done sir !

[@VivaLosLamby]

Really enjoyed that video! Great driving and I'm looking forward to more!!!!

[@MrHaggyy]

That was some crazy throttle control and an interesting line for the wet.

[@maxizac7]

Pure masterclass of how to drive in wet condition. Hats off.

[@tommyc9447]

No person nor video game could replicate how you drove that car, good job 🤙🏽

[@DaanArrow]

I appreciate that! 👊🏼

[@teamredgutz399]

Portimao sure is a technical, tough track. And in those conditions the AMG GT3 looked like a handful - lots of steering corrections. Well done.

[@LuBu556]

This was amazing, so many corrections. You and that car are one.

[@Esemelekete14]

I LOVE AMG GT3❤ THANKS FOR DRIVING THIS CAR🎉

[@francesco5254]

Incredible race. I would have liked a little bit more infos on what categories were racing which cars you were passing.

[@whittaker685]

I thought for sure the snap while overtaking on the high-speed at 2:22 was a shunt holy crap what a move

[@MIMCKMedia]

Great work. Love it

[@soya31670]

awesome driving man! i follow your ig and notice u drive different types of cars like the Lambo or Porsche, do u have preferences to which cars u feel more comfortable with? being some are mid, front, or rear engine cars.

[@DaanArrow]

Every car is different, some are more natural, some demand a specific driving style. In short the AMG is the most effortless to go fast, the Lamborghini is the most specific and so also very rewarding. The Porsche sits in three between, my preference remains private 😉

[@borislavpopov323]

[@Dan_Minton]

The last corner looks so much fun, the car on the edge at high speed 😊

[@enju257]

such a masterclass of handling a car in the wet track!! btw when you changed the TC from 3 to 4, is the 4 a higher TC setting (where the computer controls the traction more so it slides less) OR is it a lower TC setting (like the case in assetto corsa where higher number means less TC so it slides more and computer does not control much)

[@mail_liw]

Higher number is more input from the computer Edit: never mind I stand corrected

[@enju257]

@@mail_liw ohhh i see, thanks!

[@DaanArrow]

On the Mercedes it’s other way round, the higher the number the less TC ;)

[@alexsima8]

10:38 that front hood about to take off

[@Psycandy]

if the car is full auto, why would peak power revs be displayed? or is that just something all GT3 cars have, regardless of transmission?

[@DaanArrow]

What do you mean with ‘full auto’? It’s a sequential gearbox where the driver decides when to shift ;)

[@shahano]

incredible driving

[@RBFR01]

I love your racing skill my dude!

[@krmhk]

Great driving!

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks man 👊🏼

[@jeebus2121]

I wish Mercedes would make a version of this with no restrictors and no de-tuning for a few collectors, so we could see what this would be capable of with an extra 150hp.

[@DaanArrow]

Hahaha, thanks man! You should check out a few other videos of mine called ‘Onboard Story’ where I did exactly that 😅

[@alans9117]

One hell of a driver in the wet. Very impressive.

[@chepilevski]

Hey Dan can you tell what camera you use and what stability settings? Your onboard videos are insanely good 😮

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks man! It’s just a GoPro 👊🏼

[@chepilevski]

@@DaanArrow wow, the exposure is absolutely great from in and out of the car 😮 Great settings man

[@slapmynutz]

Ive heard that the amg gt black series feels floaty and disconnected (feels like driving on a wet track) when being pushed hard on track, how does the GT3 version feel, does it have the same inherent characteristics baked in because of the chassis or does the GT3 suspension and tyres iron that characteristic out? And how does the AMG GT3 compare to something like a 992 GT3 cup car? Thank you!

[@M.R.A.11811]

Nice drive, top

[@nativeaster]

Rippin video. Keep em coming.

[@DaanArrow]

Thanks! Will do ;)

[@toonasty187]

I've just got logitech wheel and pedals/shifter, but this camera angle isn't far off how I have ACC set and its making me wanna play too 😂

[@othmanebenchiha6709]

Wow! You blew past everyone. Were they on slick tires and you were on rain tires or are you just a better driver?

[@DaanArrow]

We were all on rain tires, I was one of the only GT3 cars so it’s not a fair comparison but we did win the race with +60s advantage 😅

[@Stef-Records]

How old where you when you started the fiesta sprint cup, how can you start in it? Do you have to buy a racecar or join a team because I also have 0 experience and I want to start racing as well. BTW I'm from Belgium, close to the Circuit Zolder

[@DaanArrow]

Will try, but can’t promise!

[@nothgiel84]

Tht Merc tried .. to end him at every corner.....

[@mericyaman5152]

What mean S1 and S2 buttons in the center console? And why are there white circles on the front glass?

[@NathanieI87]

My guess is that the circles are rock chips

[@JLewisRacing927]

The circles are bubbles in the windshield tearoffs. Pretty hard to get them perfect. As for the S1/S2 I haven't a clue.

[@CiroDiMaRzio12304]

In this case it are programmed button's with various function's.

[@redeyerob2176]

At a guess from using that AMG GT3 dash for simracing it could be to cycle the left and right side of the dash for different information, Screen 1 and Screen 2, just a guess though

[@henrym7327]

This the regular GT3 or is it the GT3 Evo?

[@sunshot_addict]

the car refuses to stick to the wet track lmao

[@lasarith2]

That’s the thinnest steering wheel I’ve seen . A lot of understeer as well .

[@cheersy2206]

Great drive, tricky conditions tho and the track itself looks like a handful 🤣

[@edsonalvespereira7328]

saying goodbye without waving

[@SnafuWT]

in ACC this car is so understeery. but irl the rear is playful. i guess it's the different setups.

It’s very dependent on driving style and indeed setup ;)

[@stevencq57]

Wow it's almost like you are drifting all the time instead of driving 😅 insane experience, wonder how it feels in the body
