1.11 and PP3 Impressions

my impresions is worse than before, with the new tyres, much less feel on the steering wheel on all the pp3 cars i tried. they all feel like in a constant slide, with no feel. It feels to me that v10 tyres are in terms of feel way behind the v7 tyres. after the first intoduction of v10 i thougth better wait till next patch so the tyres would be more mature, but, after this update for me it's even worse.
On the other side i apreciate the 962c being slightly faster, it feels more like it should be although it is still slower than what i expect it to be

 

I like the way the 911R drives but the enginesounds at low and medium revs are a bit shaky or stuttering. Must be something wrong there. The higher revs sound oke. The handling is really good. I could make some nice controlled drifts (on my skill level )
The new LMP1 is really fun to drive. The sound when breaking is great. The explosions in the exhaust could be a bit louder though.
Saw some blue artifects appear and disappear in corners on Zandvoort. Didn't have that on the Nords. Maybe my PC couldn't keep up.
Lowered the ffb a bit. Seemed more realistic. Maybe there is more detail now. Not sure. Was a bit tired so my senses were not at their best.
Tried the new Turbo and the 917 K a few laps and they gave a good impression.
Even though I didn't try to drive other cars yet, over all a good addition to the sim I think. Well done sirs. Thank you.

 

This may be my favorite pack yet. The 911R is just... wow. I need one in real life. Don't get me started on the 917K; the sound, just everything about it. The Cup is a blast and I'm a GT3 fan too so the GT3 R is a winner to have.

 

There was a physics update????

 

I tried the mp4-12c GT3, the P1 & LaFerrari. I can feel how a mid engine can turn easy on the limit, but going over it make it hard to drive. Race car feel more playful than a road car is a good sign.

 

Yes, the tyres have been updated.
Read Aris' post in The official "NEWS FROM THE SOCIAL NETWORKS" thread.

To be on topic:
PP3 is simply great. The feeling of each car is amazing. I don't know if it is the (new) tyres but Kunos once again did a really fantastic job.
I really love the 911 GT3 Cup and the Turbo S. They've totally blown me over!
The sound of all of them is simply great! Tremendous improvements over the last couple of months.
Have to spend some additional time on PP3 this evening to go into further detail.

Fantastic job, Kunos! (Not to mention the custom championship! *drool*)

As a road car freak I spent almost all night with 911 r.Love it!Rear end was a bit slow and hard to catch (To me thats in most Porsches cant drift them like Ferraries)but after some adjustment car is epic cant get enough of it.After that Turbo S was so soft and heavy I decided to give it a try today haha.GT3 Cup is great but GT3 R is my new fav GT3 car what a machine.gotta try oldshool racecars today.Lovin the new tyres also.Great work Kunos!custom championship is great only thing missing to me is fuel adjustment so I can force AI to pitstop in short races.But raising fuel rate in ini is cure like before.

 

I like the new GT tire and all the small new features and fixes. Custom-Championship-Creator is great too have too, I bet I'll need it someday when can't go online.

I've driven the GT3 Cup at Spa and the 911 R at the ring. Cup was great fun but the 911 R not so much. Imo the car needs a street tire, the HR feels too grippy and peaky. Improved internal sounds are still on my wishlist

 

Isnt it weird that turbo s comes with semislicks and street tyres but 911r only comes with hypercar road?

 

Did a couple laps on the Red Bull Ring GP in each of the new cars (except the new 2016 configuration of the 919 Hybrid). On all the cars (unless otherwise noted), I cranked the downforce to max and used the stock ABS/TC settings.

• Porsche 908 LH: It's ugly and I was expecting it to be an unholy terror to drive, but man, this thing's actually not bad! Very drivable. Doesn't sound real great, though. I was quite pleased with the fact that I lost the backend once and actually managed to catch it. No spin and I stayed on the track! I'm going to go ahead and say that was the car more than me, but who knows?
  
• Porsche 917 K: Unlike the 917/30, this one's another balanced, relatively pleasant to drive older race car. Definitely feels quicker than the 908.
  
• Porsche 911 GT3 Cup 2017: Lovely balance to this car. Very easy to drive. Sound is unpleasant, but I think that's mostly the transmission.
  
• Porsche 911 GT3 R 2016: A faster version of the Cup car with TC. I put the front downforce down one notch and the back two notches and it was still really easy to drive. Seems like it'll be a great car to learn a track on. Sounds a little better than the Cup car... I think. Hard to remember.
  
• Porsche 911 Turbo S: Nice throaty sound. It's quick but understeer is definitely its default characteristic, as expected. This is Porsche's "safe but insanely fast" version of the 911. Despite getting very similar laptimes to the GT3 RS, it drives very differently. I'm very glad we have it in the game.
  
• Porsche 911 R: The praise this car gets everywhere is unreal but I wasn't sure if that would translate into a video game. My god it definitely does. Absolutely lovely car to drive. I know I sound like a broken record here, but it's very balanced, well-mannered, and feels quick. Even though the clock disagrees, it felt a lot faster than the Turbo S. Being able to see that contrast is really great. This is easily my favorite stick-shifted car in the game.
  
  Side note, I see we have the option to force the 911 R's wing to remain deployed. I'm not sure if this is actually worth doing or not but I did it anyway. (I assume a "0" on this means "automatic mode," like the other 911s that don't have fixed rear wings.)

I recorded some of my hotlaps (not that my driving skills are much to look at). Once they're done processing, I'll post links to them, for whatever it's worth.

Tomorrow I intend to take some of these cars for a more grueling test drive on the Nürburgring GP. In my experience, it tends to reveal a car's more undesirable driving characteristics than the Red Bull Ring GP.

Anyway, another great DLC pack.

 

The Turbo S comes with Pirelli P-Zero high-performance tyres in real life while the 911R and the GT3RS have Michelin Sport Cup 2's which are basically semislicks .
@kofotsjanne
I just watched a replay of the Turbo S on the Nordschleife, it doesn't feel that fast on-board, but when you see it from outside, oh does it demolish the road, I don't like the bouncy front-end feel that the 911 Carrera S also has, but other than it's a nice car to drive and stupidly fast.Also, very surprinsingly peaky engine, I would've thought it just pulls from low RPM's, but you can feel the turbo's rush from 4500-5000 RPM's onward to the rev limit.

 

I just did a test lap at Spa with 458 GT2. Completely blew every corner entry. Couldn't slow the car. Had to move the brake bias dramatically rearward (like 6 percent or so), which restored the braking ability. Why would the tire model change the braking bias so much? Or is this the "inertial" changes in action?

 

Is there an actually Porsche to compete with the GT3's? Nearly a full grid, Laguna seca will be EPIC!!

 

Yes, the 911 GT3 R is the GT3 car .

 

And I guess that is the slicks ingame? but why did we get the street tyres on that car and not on many of the others? Im not typing this to complain, I just try to understand.

 

I don't know about anybody else, but I'm loving the new "Stop into the Pits in Practice Mode". It just increases that real track fantasy so much.

It only works in Practice Mode. It doesn't happen in Hotlap Mode. If you don't like using Practice Mode because it starts you off in the Pits, here is another reason to start using Content Manager. When you select Practice Mode in CM you can choose where you want to begin on the track. In the Pits? In the Hotlap starting location? It the location races use to start?

 

In AC in find the labeling a bit confusing. The HR tires are semislicks and the SM are semislicks too. I'm curious how the HR and SM compare on the same car. But then again I read theses tires are also still WIP which is great

 

Yeah...I think people get confused (myself included) because of the naming of the tires. If they used a word other than Hypercar it probably wouldn't make people scratch their heads as much. Or maybe it would...I don't know.

 

Semislicks are more like high-performance tyres (Michelin Sport 4 or Pirelli P-zero), while Hypercar Roads are actual semislicks, yes, the naming is confusing, maybe it'll be revamped when all the cars are on V10 tyres .
