CARS The Porsche 991 GT3 R

@Aristotelis Can you give me a hint regarding hotlap setup? I'm really not sure about the camber and how much to go with the porsche. I like the car, but I'm still missing 1 second to the fastest guys in the hotlap event, and i'm sure it's setup related....
In General: Can i use much more camber in hotlapping than in a normal race?

 

I drive the Audi 95% of the time however I thought it's time for a change. I am really enjoy driving the 911.2 and learning how to unlock the speed. Does this car have better than average fuel economy..? I raced a 30 min MP race at Suzuka whilst running qually map 8 and it only used 50lt of fuel. I thought that was pretty good.

 

aris yesterday said in his stream that he next time would do a Porsche, so I think he will explain some of that then... I always use the Porsche but can’t say that fuel economy is different from the suggested fuel per lap

 

What does this mean ? @Aristotelis

 

Has this something to do with the fact that always after 6 laps the car tries to kill me? And is not only this one. I’m testing at Nürburgring and every car, after 6 laps exactly, loses the tail and I crash.

Is this a bug or a real life physics thing?

 

Tire wear?
Those have phases of grip and you feel that.. Pushing a fresh tire six laps long and loose car may gives a hint that you push tire over grip limit

 

I see.
The only car that didn't spin in the 6th lap was the Bentley.
So, how many laps can you get of a fresh set of tyres then (in the porsche and in general)

 

i guess it's because the difference of front and rear tyre wear. you should check the values after 10-ish laps.
your setup or driving style might take more out of rear tyres than fronts. bentley is a front-heavy car so maybe that balances this out.

 

as @trutya says, also environment influence tire life... Some tracksurfaces eat tires more then others,design of track, (Barcelona, Suzuka vs Bathurst, Brands Hatch), weather, temperatures...

 

ho do you make this car work at Spa?
to be honest, it's the 911-II, what i'm referring to, but it's so horrible around here.
with default aggressive setup, it kinda turns, but i don't have top speed at all. i'm like 10km/h slower into blanchimont than other cars. if i reduce the rear wing and keep the aero balance adjusting the ride heights and splitter, then it's just not turning in the fast corners, especially i'm struggling on the exits. Pouhon, Stavelot, Blanchimont.
i'm realy stuck here, no idea where to go. i can't get below 2:21 with half tank of fuel (with other cars like Lambo, Honda, BMW i can do 19s)

 

Hey mate, the Porsche has become to my personal favorite car. Its the most stable car for 60min or more races and very consistent. U can drive the same pace with full tank like empty tank. But imo it's not the best quali car, cuz it's getting tricky with less fuel load. U have to play a bit with the brake bias, use more backwards when driving with more fuel.
Just checkout my settings (made with motec) at 19:30 minutes:



Can't even get close to my best spa lap in bmw m6 2:16:3.
Best in the 911 was a flat 2:18. But iam faster and more consistent in race mode. That's what counts!

 

I'd assume it means less load on front tyres (weight distribution and aero?) keeps them below temp.
