Mercedes-AMG GT3 chasing Audi R8 LMS GT3 at Nürburgring

Those GT3 cars are notorious for having specially build engines that can produce the necessary amount of torque to carry the massive balls of steels of their drivers

so, by the lenght of this video and the position in which the cars start and finish in the video, is the new porsche gt2 rs as fat as these cars??

[@DwayneWadexx]

+rickyricardo2006 it seems like that

[@MrOldMiguel]

If you compare the two videos you can see the Porsche is way faster on the straights and way slower in the corners, leading to a similar lap time because the Nordschleife has plenty of both track situations. GT3 cars still have a bit faster lap time I think. They are also limited by race class regulations. On a track with more straights, the Porsche would beat them, on a track with greater focus on corners, the GT3s would win. Still, mega impressive for the road legal Porsche. I think its destined to become a proper GT3 race car, with some big ass aero on it and proper weight reduction as well as race brakes.

[@rickyricardo2006]

MrOldMiguel yeah plus considering the gt3s have less hp and huge amounts of downforce no wonder the gt2 rs has asimilar laptime.

[@suckhdeep1]

It’s a tradition to comeback and watch this video every now and then

[@kudason]

AMG better in the corners and braking. Audi better top end speed and better mid to high end acceleration it seems. Is best chance of Merc overtaking (bar a mistake from the Audi) to dive bomb into a corner or pit stop undercut?

[@mangamaster4]

The Audi can hold the line a lot easier because it's such a balanced car so it's a lot harder to make mistakes in it. Because Nordschleife is such a tight track it only adds to the close racing aswell even though most overtaking is done on the end straight. I reckon if the R8 hadn't got the slipstream from the car at the start of the end straight the AMG might have beaten the R8 for acceleration

[@neilreid9005]

No dive bombing when the two cars are so close in the braking zones. Besides, the Audi guy was savvy enough to not leave the door open on entry.

[@mangamaster4]

@@neilreid9005 His lines were very good through the 3rd sector but that AMG was absolutely all over the Audi in the second sector. First sector was fairly even.

[@velocitymg]

Not many places to pass safely, I think both drivers were playing it safe rather than ending up in the trees together

[@bryan1377]

Don't think so, the Audi is smoother in the corners than Merc, since the Audi is way lighter than the Merc, it's easy for it to maneuver corners than the sturdier merc

[@MichaelGou]

Audi shows break point, benz shows how fast is the Audi. GREAT WORK.

Sem dúvida nenhuma, o vídeo que eu mais curto no KZbin. Sensacional.

[@jessesiordia7966]

Maann the straight road head to head at the end was insane !!

Excelent and brilliant work of the Audi's Driver!!! What a lap!!!

Mario Roberto Hernandez Flores The Merc wasn't bad either.

[@Hackenbaker]

Ohh yes MLG_420, very fast on every corner at Green Hell. Nice work of both drivers!!! Regards.

[@77ceLcius]

the AMG driver is an absolute beast! he's just being held up lol wow

[@robles100]

He had it's chance to pass on the straight away, just couldn't. Audi for the win !!!

[@jesuschrist2287]

@@robles100 he couldn't past because audi was blocking the lane to past him, and you can see audi before the corners letting amg to past when amg already started braking

[@jay-nb6uk]

@@jesuschrist2287 he couldn't pass or he would have. Even on the straight he just couldn't get in front of the Audi.

[@jesuschrist2287]

@@jay-nb6uk on corners he could pass the audi but on straight line he didin't passed because top speed on r8 was higher

[@santosj2274]

The amg gt wins at corner & acceleration. The R8 at straight lines. Amg could keep up at straight lines only by slipstreaming.

[@Goxilla]

That was dope. Both drivers on the edge. The Ring doesn´t allow any room for mistakes

[@robsea8088]

Better than any opening race from a video game. When you know the driver in front of you is top class, you can frive nose to back, without using much braking as at the end.
