iRacing - Best GTE for IMSA?

[@Brawlii]

Nice vid. Small tip for next time youre making these kind of videos. If youre saying lots of numbers, then display them on the screen. It listens a lot easier if you can also confirm it by eyes

[@McLeanRacing]

Will do. Thanks for the feedback.

[@WaskiLP]

11:11 Love that transition. So smooth. Its the little things that are brilliant.

[@Rohrkrepierer]

Great video. Highly structured and well thought out way to test the cars. Underrated channel right here, everyone!

[@murphdog3288]

So I don’t want to sound weird when I say this but your voice for this sounds amazing

[@CanadianDad73]

I love the way you wipe from one car to another. Very slick!

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. Much appreciated!

[@CanadianDad73]

@@McLeanRacing Subscribed. Keep up the good work. And learn to love that GT4. I've beaten it to submission and finally hit a 5th place finish with 0 incidents at Mid-Ohio. My iRating went up to 1748 after that. Now for Road Atlanta! Though I have the Porsche RSR in my shopping cart as per this video.

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. Much love!

[@swolabear]

Really well thought out strategy, best I've seen actually. Thanks for the help!

[@jedifist1]

How do you not have many more subs? Excellent laid out vid. A class. Like someone else said, introduce tables for us who love number comparisons. Keep them coming sir.

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man, much appreciated. Help spread the word. The tables and graphics have been added to my newer ones. No worries. 👍🏻

bro when that ferrari morphed into a ford i thought i was trippin

[@MM-tt3np]

Yesterdays BMW triple on IMSA was a crush ;)

[@Lolorodriguez123]

great vid! just a suggestion, try turning the virtual mirror off in VR. VR is all about immersion and the VM kills that. relying only on the real mirrors gives it an amazing feeling

[@McLeanRacing]

For sure! Unfortunately, with IMSA I needed to turn all the graphic settings to low to get a locked 90 FPS and it still would stutter on occasion. Especially on the newer tracks that haven’t been optimized. This was part of the reason I switched to a 49” Ultrawide last season. Thanks for the feedback!

Nice Video thank you for the decision. My first car in the GTE class will be the Ferrari.

[@miguellopes6800]

Great video, really helped me out! Keep up the good work man

Thank you. Glad I could help!

IMSA is SO fun on iracing.

7:06 What the hell is going on here? Are you vaping? Where did that smog come from??!!

[@faux1736]

Well he took a puff from his vape before and you can hold smoke in your mouth/lungs to get the actual taste thats what he did and THAN let it go

[@yunjinbai4640]

I am a FGT user and TBH the car is really fun to drive，the car feels like those v8 supercars you just need to give it time. and the fgt had a decent brake and rotation once you‘re on its limit but if u go over it，that’s it… The only complain that I had with it is also its brake，it is too edgy and snappy，u just could not afford to go over it（BTW I have all of the gte cars expect the 911）The M8 has the longest braking distance in my opinion，the only thing make it strong is its top speed and the car can somehow turn，as for 488，it used to be strong and drives like a dream，it will forgive u a lot which might give you some bad habit such as too much input etc… the car is not strong any more but still it can do whatever u want it to do

[@SCVIndy]

Appreciate your reviews

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. Much appreciated!

[@c_berk11]

what track is this

[@KenyonPayne]

I just back on the service after taking a few years off. I used to like driving the 488 a lot, so I planned on using this car in IMSA, and holy crap. I don't know what it is, but I have a super hard time driving. I'm just using a tweaked default setup, and can barely muster a mid 1:32 at interlagos this season, and that's if I can do a lap without spinning out. Very frustrating:(

[@McLeanRacing]

Ya, I know what you mean. It’s a couple of things: the Ferrari got a few balance of power updates in the last 2 seasons. The biggest change is the new tyre model. They updated it for last season and it’s garbage. I did the first 4 weeks in IMSA but gave up. It’s bumper cars for the first 3 laps. Not fun at all. I was hoping they would work on updating it for this season because of the bad press they got from the real world drivers criticizing it, but they didn’t. I’m staying away from the GTEs until they do. I’ve heard great things about what they did to the GT3s this season. Maybe you should try the 488 GT3 in the VRS Sprint series instead.

[@seebarry4068]

3:30 is where comparison starts.

[@Dotrund]

I appreciate this content. Do you think you will be able to do other comparison videos? Will you do the other multiclass series? It's hard to know what to buy

[@eatit3]

0:00 3:30 will there be a test?

[@jcb51100]

Great video. Sorry for the dumb question but what track is this?

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. It’s Interlagos in São Paulo, Brazil.

[@DeadMTrigger]

Subtle vape while on the straight. noice!

[@iamtubuler9266]

Great Video! Can you tell me the app you running at the bottom that displays the MPH/Gear?

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. That’s JRT Timing’s Dashboard overlay. Hope this helps!

[@d0cspeed]

My favorite GTEs are the BMW and Porsche; but I have found the Porsche RSR to be faster for my driving. My favorite GT3 is the M4. For GT3 I have switched a few times between the Porsche GT3R, Lambo, AMG and M4.

Nice sweatshirt! Are you from Boston? I’m looking to get into iracing soon but right now I cannot dedicate the time to it. I want to get my rig and equipment ready as well. Great video.

[@McLeanRacing]

Thanks man. Just north a bit from Boston, in NH. Ya, it’s a bit of a time suck. I’ve been doing a bunch of house projects in the last few months and have been struggling to get track time in, but it’s the best escape when I do. Hope to see you out there soon!

[@The98Man098]

Will you update this with the C8?

[@McLeanRacing]

The balance of power is way off this season... the current ranking is #1: BMW, #2: C8, #3 488, #4 RSR. The BMW is the clear winner. The C8 is by its self in 2nd, then the 488 and RSR are really close, but the 488 edges out the RSR for the 3 spot. Hope this helps!

[@D-RockDrop]

Very well done thank you

[@SiegfriedFarnonMRCVS]

good video...was looking for this info...burst out laughing at Ferrari = boring...hahaha...funny but I agree..it is boring...would be great to hear your thoughts on GT3

[@McLeanRacing]

I might be doing the VRS Sprint series next season... I’ll make a similar vid if I do. Thanks for the feedback!

[@wtdracing6779]

Good video. Thanks... Just what i need it. I was thinking Porshe but i may go to BMW...

[@serpotter]

thank you for the test, i bought the Porsche 911 my first season with IMSA, even tho i had a blast, i realized the car is very slow compared to other cars in most of the tracks (not all) so ive come to the conclusion that now is a good time to buy another one. im still undecided between the 488 and the m8, both feel more "solid" than the 911, but the ferrari even more so, still i dont want to make the decision just based on whats fastest, but still retain an element of fun to drive, im strongly leaning to M8 after this video... so thank you again.

PORSCHE 911 RSR IS THE BEST GTE FOR IMSA LOVE IT 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘

Gets Iracing... Immediately uses ford GTE... almost keeps up with my friends racing for years but spins and understeers alot. Thinks, wow, their cars must be easier to control i dont suck this bad right? Well... yeah it all makes sense now lol

[@McLeanRacing]

It’s always the car’s fault :)

[@ChubuscusGaming]

@@McLeanRacing lmao exactly. Not my fault ever! Xd I just had an ich the other ones were a little easier to drive based on what my friends were saying. I was right, still gonna work on my mistakes and learn to drive it better cuz when I did get things right I was surprisingly quick and ik when it comes down to it its not the car but how u drive it

[@josephelza6033]

Conclusion: it's a matter of taste and opinion, lol

[@McLeanRacing]

You just tl/dr’ed the whole comment section.

[@elchet]

If you're still class D though then the BMW is the only choice.

[@colescott7281]

Ford is easier to drive for me? than the other cars

[@McLeanRacing]

After the tyre model and BOP change, I think you’re right. I switched over for a few races at the beginning of this season. I wish it sounded cooler. Nothing beats that Porsche.

[@colescott7281]

This is true I believe the ford and Ferrari are both very easy to drive the engine is very boring sound in the ford the PorscheSounds awesome
