Really enjoyed this video with the narration of your race. You could really see he was holding you up on some parts of the track. Must be awesome to race with guys where the pace is so close ..amazing! Everyone braking at the same points lap after lap, you can really get in a groove. So in a nutshell you prefer the old school tracks...same here. When I race at Brands GP , Thruxton or Oulton Park its much more exciting than racing at say Silverstone as the run offs are so large. ..although Silverstone is a mega circuit to drive.

[@ynot5105]

Thanks for another drive-along David; much appreciated by thid petrol head ! On a more practical note though; thanks for the teaching, it helps a lot, towards understanding what's happening out there, on the track and during a race. Just a comment: I get the impression that your pit crew can "improve" a bit, as your team seem to negate your hard work in improving track position and after a pitstop, your car comes out way down, from where you were running, excluding shuffling of positions, during the pit window. Hope I make myself clear in what I'm trying to convey. I mean , consider car 11; wow, their chsnge around times are excellent! Kind regards, Tony (from Cape Town)

[@DavidPerel]

It’s because in Pro-Am you have to wait an extra 10s in the pits. It’s not up to our pit crew, in fact if we didn’t have that enforced waiting time I think we would do the fastest stops on the grid besides WRT Audi.

[@ynot5105]

@@DavidPerel OK thank you; that makes more sense. So, in Portugal (in car 22) your Team and car was a level up?!

[@PedroPanizzon]

David, I didn't know that the team made the setup for the race. I thought that pilots could give feedback about the setup and how car feels, put some cherries in the cake. Maybe this explanation, fill my doubt about the situation when 2/3 drivers use the same car, how setup is done? Team choses and it's done kkkk

[@DavidPerel]

We arrive with a base setup. Then we drive and provide feedback on how the car feels and the engineer will make the changes he believes are best. We work together but it’s my job to drive and his job to setup.

[@souldry]

Amazing graphics

[@N4SCARfaN]

I really love the green Ferrari! I might attempt to recreate it with a 458 GTE in Forza Motorsport 7... Anyway, I love these onboard stories! You talk about what you do, and how you react, as well as letting us see! These are great!

[@DavidPerel]

Thanks mate , really stoked you’re enjoying them 👊

[@1freddy1b]

thoroughly enjoyed the video. Q: IRL, what kind of input does the driver give to the team, if any, in setups for qualifying and race? because in sims/games, the setup options to me are sometimes an information overload - brake bias, aero values, dampers, camber, toe, bump stop, radiator opening etc etc.... irl, do you need to know all the technical bits, or do the team engineers figure what to do if you give them feedback such as 'the car understeers on exit of turn 2'?

[@DavidPerel]

Most of the time the engineer will listen to your feedback and make their own decisions, it’s their job and they want to excel at it. Sometimes we will recommend a setup change but mostly it’s important to give clear and accurate feedback. Saying “the car is shit” is not feedback. Saying “the car understeers on entry to tight corners” is good feedback.

[@skyhigheagleer6]

Wouldn't be nice if PD put green tarmac in where we can run wide in GT Sport? Rather than guessing where the limits are for each corner!

Love all of your videos Dave! Would you ever drive in F1 if the opportunity arose?

[@Paul_85-]

Having the green areas available to use does this give an advantage to the cars that can fly over the curbs like the Bentley for example. With you saying g it's same for everyone which it is but I do think certain cars have an advantage. What do you think ? Being an actual driver

[@DavidPerel]

All cars can easily ride the green curbs, so they are not a problem. Porsche and Bentley benefit most from the orange sausage curbs though.

[@metzger5925]

Hey thanks for the videos - great stuff! A quick question if you don't mind - How strong are the forces from the Ferrari steering wheel in a corner if you compare them to the karting ?

[@DavidPerel]

Very light compared to Karting because we have power steering in GT racing 👍👍

[@ThomasSWK]

The curbs u r hitting in t1 and 2 looks massive!! How can the car survive big bumps with so high speed? They are also in last turn:o

[@DavidPerel]

The faster you go the better it can be, also the inside wheels are "unloaded" so they actually take much less of a beating than you would think (they're still aggressive though).

[@ThomasSWK]

R they like speed bumps on the road? (5 cm ish)

[@DavidPerel]

Yea a similar size but more aggressive

[@86themadhatter27]

Really solid stint. Just curious what it's like going over the sort of kerbs that are there to stop you cutting or running wide too much. Do you get really rattled about from them, ever worried you'll end up with some damage from running them?

[@DavidPerel]

When you go over them the first time you think the car is about to explode but once you realize that they’re ok then you forget about it pretty quickly and then start seeing how much more curb you can ride.

I really enjoy these videos David as I would donate kidney to get a GT3 drive. I was just wondering how much do you feel loss of front downforce when you are so close to car ahead?

[@MarcPerel]

About 2/3rds through it appears that you adjust the aircon, I've always wondered how effective the in car airflow devices are? Are they just for show or do they really cool you down?
