Track report: Me in my GT-R versus me in my Turbo
#17
Of course, a GT-R can be tuned as well-- above is stock-for-stock (excect for Turbo power mods)

GT3 driver is really cool guy, but he was learning the track and got a bit nervous with Godzilla on his tail. A more relaxed GT3 driver on a familiar track would obviously pose a much bigger challenge. I have not heard anyone claim that GT-R is faster than GT3 stock-for-stock in hands of a pro. I am quite sure, however, that GT-R would be easier for a beginner to drive at 8/10th and still drive home in one piece.

Post of the week!
Just curious about a few things-- you generally seem to brake much harder and deeper with the GT-R; i'm assuming this reflects the different "audi line" approach you're taking with the car? basically slowing it down, getting it pointed in the right direction then rocketing out?
Also, what's going on at the very extreme left (start) of the graph, and the middle peak? you seem to carry a LOT more speed in the GT-R vs the Turbo? i'm not familiar with the track lay-out...
again, thanks for the great post!

However, I also noticed that my entry speed to some corners was a lot slower in the GT-R. I was prob over-braking and then getting on throttle well before the apex. I could prob get through those turns faster overall by turning a bit earlier and trusting the car more, but it does push a bunch.
I'll take another look after my day at Thill to see what's going on.
