GT3 cars are unbelievable "easy" to drive. They are far more stable and honest with the driver than anything road legal. This "security" comes at the cost of the insane speed these cars have and how quick you have to react if you got into a moment.

Honest and sincere question... One thing I noticed in almost all race car video footage is that the gearbox whine is very loud, front and center. Yet in past GT games, people were making fun of those games due to the "vacuum sound" in cars with the racing gearbox installed, which is the gearbox whine as in real life. So, was it too real for a game or why was the sound so heavily criticized if it actually sounded real? Again, honest question...

This makes me appreciate how amazing sim racing is with a VR headset and a proper FFB wheel and pedals: the first thing my brain told me when I watched this video was, "oh, I've done this before." Not "wow, this would be so much fun" or "man, what a cool perspective, it must be crazy to drive this legendary track in a GT3 Porsche." I have literally never driven a real life race car and I haven't even been within 3,000 miles of the Nordschleife at any point in my life, but technology and racing sims have advanced to the point where my brain is absolutely convinced I've driven dozens of laps of the 'Ring in a 911 GT3 R. The elevation changes, bumps, blind corners, running out onto the few curbs that allow it, where the driver is looking and placing the car, the little details of the cockpit, the sound of that flat 6 screaming away as you bang through the gears - it all matches up so well with the experience I've had just sitting in my sim rig at home with a VR headset on and a steering wheel in my hands. I know it's not exactly the same, but it's damn close, fools the heck out of my brain, and I was actually able to afford it all without selling a kidney or winning the lottery. Great lap!

[@wtfbbq]

@@mj6463 I get your point, but honestly watching replays of people doing the laps in AC will serve you better... not that watching this isnt cool af though so all good If you are getting into sim racing, even just casually, I highly HIGHLY recommend a wheel. Even the cheapest budget wheel will be a major improvement on both your speed and your immersion, I cannot overstate how much better you will enjoy the game; even a wheel without force feedback will be infinitely more fun than using your controller, I promise you. I got myself a Thrustmaster T300 RS a few years back and couldn't be happier with my purchase. Absolutely worth every penny. I never used a wheel before that and didn't want to break the bank going for a direct drive wheel straight away. If it dies one day I'll consider a DD wheel but I have no regrets with it whatsoever. (well, it can overheat during long sessions which lowers the feedback to keep it from burning out, but a simple mod of putting a better fan inside it pretty much fixed it) EDIT: TLDR, if you're enjoying the game enough to want to study race footage, you need to get yourself a wheel, even a cheap one, you wont regret it!

@@lucian-emilgusa6185 I found that Iracing was one of the only sims that did a good job of adjusting the steering stiffness based on the car without me having to change any settings. Most other sims I have to manually change the settings to fit the realism of the car as it'll just be the same everywhere and even road cars will feel stiff. With Iracing though, the road cars were really really light, and the race cars, atleast the ones with power steering, were not completely stiff but still firm, and you could really feel the tyres gripping. Iracing gets a lot of shit for inferior physics to other sims but from my experience its the closest a sim car has felt to real life for me.
