It's amazing that a GT500 car despite costing 2 million dollars less and has no hybrid system manages to almost lap at a identical time than a Le Mans Hypercar, just proves how much of a monster GT500 cars are on the track

[@GabsARV]

To be fair, LM cars have restrictions on how much power they can create. They can't dump all of their hybrid energy all at once, plus the BOP (Balance of Performance) comes into play too, which can either limit how much torque is allowed and/or use of ballasts. If LM cars didn't have those restrictions, they would leave the GT500 car in the dust. But in a way, you are kinda making a good point. Even without the hybrid systems, the GT500 car can easily surpass the LMP2s.

[@NemisisDL]

​@@GabsARVCan? Or already surpass? The GT500 has been if not on par, faster than the LMP2s for a while now.

[@stryker1797]

True, but you gotta take into account the fact that the new regulations which came with the category's name changing to LMH made the cars slower than they were under the former LMP regulations. Modern LMP1 Cars were significantly faster than current LMH1. The Porsche 919 even in its unmodified version wouldn't have given the GT500 Z much of a chance. Though with that said, you're right, it's definitely impressive how what is essentially a heavily modified production car can give a run for its money to a race-designed from scratch prototype. What's even more impressive is the GT500 seems to outperform the LMH into the corners, with a downforce that looks closer to that a formula car than an endurance one. Le Mans has a lot of straight line sections which were the portions where the LMH outpaced the GT500. I'm curious to see how much closer it'd have gotten on a more balanced track like Spa-Francorchamps.

[@sdx3918]

I think GT500 is the perfect example of how OP a racecar can be if they have their own custom tires tailored for the car instead of just one-make spec tires like the hypercars. The amount of grip they get around fast corners because of the tires + the downforce is unreal.

[@TwentyNinerR]

Reminds me of the heydays of Ferrari and Bridgestone. Rumors say that Bridgestone's tires back then were basically tailor made for the Scuderia, even though there are other teams who shod their cars with the Japanese rubber.

[@edwardhoulihan4917]

I'd love to see it too! Only question is have is would the long term reliability of the car be there, which is point of the race anyway. But I just wonder what kinda power they'd give up to gain the necessary reliably to finish. Definitely an interesting idea I wanna see play out!

[@Alan-ww8vi]

I don't think it'll compete for the win because there's also fuel economy to consider, which has no effect on a single lap but huge over an endurance race. The LMH carries an expensive and heavy hybrid system for fuel economy purposes because the ICE can easily meet the power limit. So even if the GT500 can match lap times, it'll most certainly use more fuel doing so.

[@stryker1797]

@@Alan-ww8vi That's already the case for LMH as non-manufacturer teams are allowed to do without some restrictions the manufacturer teams are imposed, like the use of the hybrid system. Haven't seen what it looks like in terms of perf diff on the track tho.

[@miguelteodoro5013]

Yeah, it would be nice but I think the regulations say that cars in the experimental entry can't compete for overall win, meaning even if they finished first, it wouldn't be a win.

[@Starfire_Storm]

This really is more merit of the GT500 car than demerit of the Hypercar. Hypercars, despite what people like to think, aren't really that slow, they're about on pace with 2013 or so LMP1 cars, so they're pretty damn rapid, it's just that GT500 cars are ridiculously fast. Unlike most racing series that have seen various rule changes to slow them down, GT500 has been keeping getting faster and faster, in the 2000's they were around as fast as GT1 cars, if a bit faster, and they've just kept getting faster and faster.

Yes when it was still JGTC but that changed when it became SuperGT

[@fajarastanaprima2771]

Originally, GT500 at the early days were capped at 500 hp, but sometime after 2005-2007, they rose above 500, even close to 600, & from 2014, when they switch to FIA Class One & utilising NRE 2.0L I4 Turbo, that was the point where they got around 650 hp (subject of BoP)

[@jeffery7281]

I once have an idea of endurance/sports car racing in my dream, which will be formed by the following catalogues: -Hypercar/LMP1/Group C cars, renamed as GTP like the IMSA; -Class 1 Touring Cars(DTM/Super GT500), renamed as GTS; -GT1 cars; -GTE/GT3 cars with 2-door coupes only (i.e. those GT3 cars that satisfied the original defination of "Grand Touring Cars"). Maybe added the Daytona Prototypes too.

[@BubbaBearGames]

I was thinking of calling the Class One cars GTX, or Grand Touring Extreme.

[@BubbaBearGames]

Make the IMSA GT Series a thing again, with GTP being the top class, GTX the second class with Class One-spec cars, such as Super GT and DTM, and the GTO class will be GT3 homologated cars.

[@TheMoukis]

LeMans cars used to weigh 750Kg. Then they made them 900Kg. Now they are 1030Kg? That's why both of them are so close.

[@SidusBrist]

Yeah they weigh as much as my Clio now lol

[@Alan-ww8vi]

Not only that, but nerfs to downforce and power. The current LMH are essentially the old LMP2s, which is a bit sad.

[@real765rp8]

​​@@Alan-ww8vi While the classes work a bit differently, in terms of pace you probably have a point. But that stuff always happens. For instance, 2000's GT1 was like early GT1, which was essentially late 90's GT2, since GT1 got so fast so quickly. Then they introduced 2000's GT2 which was like early GT2 I suppose but turned into GTE when GT1 got scrapped. Towards the end of GTE they once again were as fast as late 00's GT1. Now they're replaced by GT3 which in their inception were slower than contemporary GT2 but now have probably become faster than the old GT2 cars. So what I'm saying is I'll expect hypercars to become faster and possibly break into two classes in the next few years. If entrants suffice, you could run hypercar unrestricted and keep lmdh as is, like a lmp2 style class

[@fayyadguissida]

Power also from hybrid system (only at 198 kmh/123 mph)

[@lIllIlllIlIllIlllIlIllIlllIl]

@@real765rp8 GT3 has gotten several orders of magnitude faster around corners than they were in 2014-2017. The current GT3's would likely beat the 00-10 GT1/GTS cars at most tracks. Late 90's Group GT2 would be identical to 00's GT1/GTS but with substantially more primitive aero and tyres. GT3 cars have become insanely complicated and assisted machines from their starting point.

I wouldn't really say that since they pretty much have the same pace as early LMP1 which i really won't describe as slow at all.

@@izzdin6228 yeah, not to mention the tyres in Super GT (both GT500 & GT300) have a softer compound than those used in WEC. Because of that GT300 which has homebred GTA-GT300 race cars & your typical GT3 cars in it were able to go as fast if not faster than a GTE as well.

Pour information les GT500 on le même problème que les DTM classe one avant qu'elles soit remplacer par les GT3, ces autos on tellement d'aero qu'en ligne droite au maximum ça prend 260 sans le DRS et 280 avec (et encore avec du mal).

1: This game is very realistic and so are the top mods (which are always unofficial, that's why they are mods), we literally use real life data to make every video in this channel, I guarantee it's as close a representation you as can have. 2 Here's some real-life data, GT500s going over 300 km/h at Fuji (without DRS or push-to-pass) You are telling me they wouldn't be able to reach 305 km/h at a longer straight with a Le Mans setup? (lower downforce setup than Fuji obviously) www.motorsport.com/supergt/news/nissan-fuji-top-speed-analysis/10464454/#:~:text=The%20%2324%20Kondo%20Racing%20machine,in%20the%20FCY%20practice%20session. Is this more credible now? Here's Kubica going over 290 km/h in a DTM car by the way; kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXPFc6V4gduNb5Ysi=8SdakKS_qoVo6pXv

So none of these are fully acurate to the real cars.. they look the same as real but the physics vs real are no where close. Setups. weather track (scale) do it in real life and we will get real data. Sims are close but not accurate.

[@AdamTheMan1993]

At Fuji last year Super GT GT500 cars lapped at almost identical times as FIA WEC Hypercars including the factory Toyota and Ferrari

GT500マシン速すぎない？w

[@vitaobatera]

This gt500 mod is broken... it has it's own gravity field!! It has nothing to do with reality. It should be behind a LMP2 and not much faster than the Garage 56 nascar. Yet this is around 10s faster than it should per lap.

[@geejustfishing916]

You’re crazy thinking it would lap around the nascar time.

[@att3732]

telling others you've never watched super gt without saying it. i mean how difficult is it to check the lap time of fuji speedway where both gt500 and wec prototypes run? or are u just being plain ignorant

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

Man, just compare 2023 WEC laptimes at Fuji with 2023 SuperGT laptimes at the very same track. Thank me later for discovering the biggest sleepers in racing 🙃

😮

[@Jamotravel]

Can you add some of the Korean Superrace series classes? They have a few like Alpine, Prius PHEV, Super 6000 and used to have GT1 and some other cool classes

[@ColonelKrukov]

Impressively close, but not quite there.

[@EfraPlay3]

Que sobrevalorados estan los hypercars

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

In terms of speed they aren't that special, but people rate them for the amount of manufacturers and competition, not their performance

[@stark3855]

I worked as a mechanic in Japan a few years ago with them, I'm sorry to say that this mod is false. The GT500s have less cornering than an LMP2... It is true that they are the fastest touring cars but the performance of this mod is totally false.

[@AdamTheMan1993]

Actually last year at Fuji GT500 cars were lapping at almost identical lap times as the Le Mans Hypercars then again GT500 cars have a open tyre war between Bridgestone, Yokohama and Dunlop whereas WEC Hypercars use the same spec Michelin tyres

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

First, that's very cool, for which team did you work? Second, I'm afraid you are wrong, currently GT500 cars are faster at the only track they share, Fuji, which has bit of everything. Just check last years laptimes from both series. The GT500 cars are even faster than the Hypercars (with the GT500s being faster at the bends while the Hypercars have better top speed, that's why it was faster here). A few years ago, they were closer but right now a GT500 car obliterates an LMP2 car everywhere.

ネットの世界は嘘を拡散しやすいですね、このチャンネルには沢山の日本人視聴者が居ます、しかも彼らはレーシングマシンを贔屓目で評価しません。

[@kivanccelik51]

Woah, I really didn't know GT500 cars were so much faster than GT3s!!

[@THEWINDTUNNEL]

They race against GT3s in Super GT. Just check how easy they lap them

[@swxd_]

Wowww im early
