Meesh , I feeling where your coming from on the gear selection choices that were made as well as the top speed comparisons on the straight . And the one thing that stands out with Porsche's latest track weapon (besides the beautiful sculpting) is the change in gear ratios . This is similarly the comparison of the GT3 to the GT4RS .

@@cantbetrue So you're easily offended, a white knight, like to jump to negative conclusion, and have no concept of carrying speed. Got it. Think happy thoughts.

[@luisrpa123]

Concerning the main straight speed: The GT3 does 171 km/h at the apex of the previous corner and 234 km/h under the first bridge. The GT3 RS does 182 km/h at the apex of the previous corner and 237 km/h under the first bridge. DRS is activated slightly before the first bridge. I think the greater entry speed is significant for the straight speed and also the DRS of the GT3 RS helps it keep pulling, as the very high downforce figure is for sure stated with the DRS inactive.

[@nathanael_marguereta_dop]

Exactly what I was thinking

[@pfabian90]

Same @storyfocus

[@brocktj4]

That makes sense.

[@lovelehstuff]

Even with Drs open it produces thesame amount of downforce as the 992 gt3 with the wing in it's most aggressive position combined with headwind it should be slower

[@alexv6043]

And the RS has a different gear ratio which brings it easier up to speed although at the expense of its end top speed.

[@juhakivekas2175]

The top speed, there is a point to consider: If you draw two curves the one is the engine power curve against the speed (rpm*ratios …) and the power curve required for the drag ( P = D*v). Where these two curves meet is the top speed. First find the ratio that gives the absolute maximum possible speed. That is your max power peaks exactly at the top speed (rpm). Then vary the ratio a bit up and down - and then consider headwind situation. Porsche has often geared the top gear (or one gear with the many geared boxes) for the abs max. speed. However, this makes the car quite sensitive to headwind. If you gear so that the max speed is reached above max power rpm you will loose less speed in headwind. What you pay then is the abs possible top speed. This approach is often used in race cars for this and another reason (total time on the straights). Should you gear the top speed gear too long you will loose a lot in headwind because of the angle of the power curve where it meets the drap power curve. For a race engineer this is daily stuff. So an example. I have a 996.1 which has top power at 6800 rpm. The car has been geared so that the peak power is met with the drag power curve at the highest possible point. But the question is then, who really needs 280 km/h with the curse of long gears. This is the usual complaint of many Porsches - and finally with GT4 RS Porsche seems to have understood what is really needed for max Fahrspass.

[@dx4picco650]

the left foot braking is to put back the active aero to max downforce misha 😉

[@krabbenschubser]

Interesting. Nonetheless the applied brake pressure differs quit a lot, especially at Galgenkopf.

[@CarAdviser]

so why is this not done with steering angle sensor, speed & weight shift, should be automated.

[@frederickschulze8014]

4:26 As an engineer, I believe left foot braking while still being on on the gas is for a different reason. Your rate of slowing down is what determines weight transfer, not how far you're pushing the brake pedal. So for example, if 80% brakes + 20% gas gives you 60% rate of deceleration, you have the same weight transfer as 60% brakes with no gas. This is all based on the 3rd law of physics. I think it may be for stability reasons because having the accelerator on while braking decreases the rear tire's brake force which gives you more frontal brake bias. This should give the car more stability on corner entry by allowing the rear tires to use more of their grip for cornering. As we all know, Porsches can like to spin when trail braking.

[@jakubwojtczak4954]

Thank you for the analysis Misha. This was very insightful. Hope to see You soon in Gt3 RS on the ring.

[@Yoshi0597]

@misha Thanks for the video 🙂 What I think is, that the 3x downforce on the GT3 RS compared to the GT3 is the max. achievable downforce at the highest velocity, which would be 285km/h. But the GT3 RS can enable DRS and has active aero, which was shown in the video, so that the car gets a little bit slippier. That possibly means, with DRS activated and active aero to "low" downforce on straights, the aerodynamic aspect would be comparable to a normal GT3. That's just my opinion and thinking, maybe I'm wrong. Keep up the good work

[@patricebaumel]

Also, more downforce does not necessarily equal more drag. You can create downforce more efficiently with a diffuser than with a spoiler. The GT3 RS's floor is much more sophisticated than the GT3's in that respect. In other words, with DRS activated drag could be possibly lower or equal on the GT3 RS despite having more downforce available. See this video for explanation: kzbin.info/www/bejne/naenlqWYfrpgq7s

[@varsas10]

@@patricebaumelExactly. They also moved the radiators at the front to the middle of the car, which also might help.

Correct me if Im wrong, but if you look at this lap record video, and You look down, there is a small GT3 RS. It's there because it shows how aero works. Look at front and back wing. It's moving without DRS Active, because the Aero setting is turned on Dynamic mode. Car probably automatically open and close wing and flaps, and DRS Active button is only for block it in open setting. You can see there, wing and flaps open fully without DRS Active button, and with this on. On Carwow channel he is talking with one of porsche engineers, and he said, that button is for manual using DRS flaps. I think they did that, because driver can't always think about that, and I believe this is important for non-professional drivers (we need to remeber, its street legal car, for anyone who have money to buy it). //sry for my eng //

[@SirAMG63]

[@perseqantonin636]

For the diff compression and rebound settings joerg explains which setting he use on the nordschleif in the test video of the 992 GT3 RS on the @Hagerty channel

[@CP-vg4vy]

With DRS active downforce is dialed back to 306 kg at 177 mph(284 kph), that can be part of the reason why its top speed is matching the GT3.

[@nieks.4586]

Wind speeds are not up to 200km/h i hope, so keeping the wing closed doesnt make sense. If tailwind is 40km/h you still have a headwind for the car of 160km/h at 200km/h road speed

[@TheCarLovingSwede]

I was also confused by this statement from Misha. Of course DRS will be more "effective" with a headwind. But it will still have a big impact even if your a tailwind...

[@SnerASDF]

[@RobOgden]

[@RaufZero]

@@RobOgden that was my first thought, captain ;)

[@SergeantMoetz]

I'm not an engineer/aerodynamicist but I think it simply depends on the amount of drag you can get rid off by activating DRS. Look at F1 cars with their massive peak downforce, it almost looks like they get an extra boost of horsepower when they activate DRS and it's especially noticeable when they're already traveling at high speeds on the straight. So I guess DRS has a bigger effect on top speed especially when the peak downforce of a car is as big as the GT3 RS's is. Definitely worth testing for when owners get their hands on their cars.

[@luiztureck]

You missed about top speed is that full downforce is achieved with drs on, but in dynamic mode (drs off at straights) it is as slippery crossing the wind as the regular gt3. This is even more impressive!

[@CharlesA24]

the aero is not only super strong, it is also super efficient. I could see it being as fast as it was just thought moving the air around more efficiently, despite the massive increase in downforce.

[@rayfernandez6694]

Excellent technical analysis misha specially the part about suggesting Porsche disclosing the settings of the car while doing the lap . Keep it up

[@jupa5263]

10:47 maybe 3x more downforce is only achieved without DRS. On the straight he had DRS on all the time. Edit: Also the GT3 RS was about 10km/h faster at corner exit than the GT3 which could be because of the higher downforce it can drive faster though the corner and can take more speed onto the straight.

[@alexv6043]

Misha: amazing how quickly you are able to put such a good analysis together. Thank you!!!

[@OKF_Max]

Interesting point with the topspeed on the straight. The 992 enters the straight already really fast because of the aero, with about 200km/h. So it "only" has to gain 80km/h for the entire straight. Maybe the downforce figure of 860kg is just without the drs function active, with drs, which was used on the straight it should drop a decent amount. Maybe even half? Plus a little punchier engine above 6000rpm and shorter gears what they said in the specs. That could all explain this. Would be interesting to see if the car can go faster for the entire lap in lesser wind conditions. But 20km/h headwind also helps in a lot of corners I guess, maybe it evens it out over the full 20km distance.

[@petermoran6800]

Thank you for an amazing analysis of the lap, it is very much appreciated

[@dann1s.365]

5:34 not 100% sure how it work, but I think the DRS is already ON, in the press release, the DRS will automatically active when speed>100/Acce. pedal postion>95%/Rev>5K/Lateral G

[@BlakesGarage]

Love it! Thanks for the breakdown Misha

[@billg26]

Mischa, the claimed downforce of 860 Kg at 285 Km/h is with the DRS ON or OFF? Don't forget that the corner speed exit before the Dottinger Höhe straight is higher in the GT3RS than in the GT3... I think this may help explain the same top speed... 🤔

[@michaelruger2517]

Second, the torque curve is optimized. Lower peak but more over a longer range compared to GT3

[@alyousuf]

they used the slower driver so they can come up with an MR kit thats even quicker and charge a ridiculous amount for it

[@felixh.5671]

Not opening the DRS seems like a mistake to me. Even if they had tailwind it would only make sense not to use DRS if the wind is going faster than the car. Which was obviously not the case.

[@andrewbond7949]

My theory for the top speed of the RS is that it’s carrying much more exit speed out of the corner and onto the straight. Corner exit speed plays a huge part on the straights.

Was waiting patiently for this review...thanks Misha! Other thing I noticed vs the AMG GT Black Series was that at the 1st bridge on the main straight the GT3RS was on 238km/h and the AMG BS was on 249km/h with the GT3RS ahead on laptime by a very small margin (less than half a second). By the 2nd bridge the GT3RS was on 283km/h vs 306km/h for the AMG BS with the AMG BS at that point ahead by almost 1.3s🤯

One extra thing to consider when it comes to the main straight top speed is the corner exit speed, GT3 RS effectively gets a headstart on the GT3 as it will exit the corner before the straight at a higher speed. That might make a few kmh difference

[@andreaperaldo6702]

The nurburgring setting is explaned in the Catchpole video review of the car, when he did a interview with Bergmeister.

[@marcnobel3938]

Great review like always. Even when we had it more less already done here :-) - I think the Top Speed sounds still real. The car has the its extra power with its hotter camshafts above 6000 rpm and Preuninger said even before that it sounds little but still makes quite a difference when driving. Which makes sense with those changes done. When they use the DRS (whcih reduces the drag quite a lot) on the straights on top of that, that should work out.

[@Shareezy]

no way, I was tailbraking with my left foot while driving to work this morning and wondering if there was any need to cut throttle when doing this at speed, then you post this today! Mystery solved, I guess it's viable!

[@clamfroth]

Hey from Alberta Misha! Thanks for the video

[@sids2498]

Superb video as usual Misha. Thank you.

[@PyguK]

I think the published downforce numbers are related to the maximum downforce the car can generate (without using DRS) Plus, what I have noticed. the Flappositioning in the diagram on the bottom, doesnt change between DRS 'active' (green) and DRS 'ready' (gray). I think the car opens and closes the flaps by itself, but the driver can force the DRS to activate by pushing the button on the wheel. What I have noticed here is, that it must be strange for the driver, when it suddenly opens the DRS, while you are in a fast corner section and you lose grip. I would prefer as a driver, that I decide when to activate DRS and when to deactivate it.

[@death_star382]

I think You can set that in the settings. Abouve the drs mode, You have an aero mode in dynamic, thats why it controls flaps by itsself.

[@hamzasherazi9334]

[@DahRidlah]

if you check the other onboards GT3RS and GT2RS are entering the main straight with round about 4km/h difference, GT3 is ~8-10km/h slower after exit the GT3RS needs ~19Sec to reach 279Km/h, GT2RS needs ~11sec and the GT3 ~20sec to go to 276km/h If it has more power than advertised, then i think it´s not much, with shorter gear ratios, sharper cams and that much carried over speed Interesting to know would be about how much the DRS reduces the downforce

[@eichler721]

Great video and Porsche always does an amazing job on the GT3 and GT3RS series.

[@hummingbird9149]

The question about top speed on the straight is quite simply answered: The RS is able to reach the same top speed as reg GT3 on the straight mainly due to 2 things: 1) The RS is able to reduce/increase its drag (and downforce) via its movable aero surfaces, and 2) thanks to its higher grip (with the aero surfaces automatically angled for max downforce) it exits the corner leading up to straight at a much faster speed, and thus starts its run down said straight with a sizable speed advantage.

[@SteveReed33]

Definitely agree about their lack of info. Henry Catchpole was asking him about the settings he uses in their walk around of the car but it wouldn’t hurt Porsche to do a proper press release. Do they not realise how many rennlist arguments they would resolve simply by stating what tyre pressures they run??

[@rodval99]

Awesome review

[@stefanroseEP3]

The downforce number being quoted would be with the wings in the 'downforce' position. They don't mention the downforce/drag with the DRS enabled. And the car has front and rear DRS so the drag will be reduced massively. And also the corner exit speed is higher so higher terminal is more easily achieved.

[@dann1s.365]

[@ERIK31351]

If you are going faster than the tailwind you will end up with forward facing apparent wind. If you're doing 200km/h basically you will just feel 185km/h wind from straight ahead. What I'm saying is, even with tailwind you always want to reduce drag - though it is not as important as when you have a headwind.

[@taliyy_]

[@vladgeorgemoldovan5568]

I would say that Bergmeister doesn't drive as clean as the other factory drivers. Kevin Estre is maybe even more aggressive but in a better way, he seems to keep the momentum going slightly better in corners. With Bergmeister, I realised the excessive downshifts even with the gt4rs lap-time.

[@baggszilla]

Thanks Misha! Probably like you said. The shorter gear ratios and also I'm thinking with DRS helped in the straight.

[@konforzone]

This Gt3 rs is really new definition of refinement. The car has enourmous downforce to drag ratio and has shorter gear ratio which could affect acceleration positively but always affects top speed negatively due to increased friction of rotating parts. Suspension adjustments almost on par with a racecar. If possible, I am sure someone tries to adjust settings while driving different sections of the track which requires immense, situational awareness. The car is simply mindblowing. I am wondering what additions MR package will come with especially considering suspension.

[@bits2646]

For the amount of downforce I wish it would have 560-580hp, so acceleration from like 170, 180kmh and up, would be even better. It's engine is optimized compared to GT3, but I feel it could use more power from fast corners where you're doing around 200 and you're in that rpm range that you'd kinda need to downshift, but when you do it just revs that high that it lacks that kick. I know it's not turbo and needs to rev, also I love that engine high reving sound, but when there's timing involved you don't want to "waste shifts"... Mostly the circuits aren't that fast in general, but still would be nice have more power especially in "high downforce mode"

[@d.b.485]

Maybe in a future models they put engine from gt3 r , which has a bigger displacement of 4.2 liters , and more power (560HP).

[@Gorilla_Jones]

[@mkm6073]

Straight speed is also about the exit of the corner before, so it won't be as easy for "normal" people. Also its faster than the GT3 at that corner exit point, so its not as difficult to achieve the same speed, as my guess...

[@6pistons]

A lap time of 6:49 by the new GT3 RS is absolutely amazing, considering that it is quite close to GT2 RS MR time of 6:43. Pretty sure the time of 6:49 will get lower in the future.

I think the 860 kg of downforce is without the DRS active, when you have the DRS active if I remember correctly it's about 260kg of downforce, practically a quarter of the maximum downforce, Regards!

[@gogolglaus]

The speed on Döttinger Höhe (Bridge) is absolutly legit imho. In general, none of these record setting cars are identical with the ones on sale. Usually they install a proper cage and race seats with ears. As they did here as well. And more downforce does not mean necessarily more drag. DRS was active that reduces drag a lot I assume.

Correct me if I'm wrong but even if you have a bit of a tail wind on a straight you'd still want to be in DRS/as aero efficient as possible unless that tail wind is ~150kmh? Sure its even more important into the wind, but the physics is similar either way, as soon as you are going faster than the tailwind its drag at the differential speed between wind and vehicle.

[@troygaskins2082]

Funny how nobody acknowledge that most don't have the driver skills to make a difference...this car was really designed for the skilled

[@inflatable2]

I wish we could see what a driver like Max Verstappen can do for laptime with this car on the Ring.. I know he's a big Porsche fan and drives them in his own time on circuits just for fun..

[@lovelehstuff]

He won't be better to be honest because these guys know the nordschleife in and out f1 drivers don't

[@carljuztine3328]

in simple words, its fuckin incredible

[@skydance2012]

Great vid!

[@ritermaster]

The Porsche was the enemy of rotation this lap

[@renevanderzel7576]

I think Left foot braking is for closing the wing again for maximum downforce. You use that in high speed corners

[@goldtutch]

always more can be done, well i would love to see what you could do actually because ive been watching you a lot and i like the lines you take and kinda know them so would love to see that, maybe one day huh , its one very expensive and ultra desirable car

[@marcschulz6689]

Monstergeile Erklärung. 👍👍👍

[@bartekb5074]

860 kg of downforce at 285 kmph but without DRS activated I suppose. With DRS it's probably similar to GT3 downforce.

[@kezudemvin886]

The reason for the brake taps at high speed: He is setting up the wings to get more downforce for the oncoming turn

[@CarToneHK]

Guess Porsche probably understated the 3RS top speed a tad more than others. Oh and Hagerty video presented by Henry Catchpole asked Jörg Bergmeister on his settings for the Nordschleife

[@iceb-akap77ice93]

Excellent video. Love this car. ✌🔥

[@thezlodej]

lap is impressive, we need to understand that car have 200hp less than all others... so is impresive

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Looks like they saved weight by not adding screenwash! That bug must've been pretty distracting, especially after the wipers smeared it...
