AMG GT R - Der Tag


Same driver, very little in it.

Interesting to see the differences and the Ring is always a good all round test of a cars characteristics.
 
It does seem like he is struggling more to get the nose in on the 600LT, and hold it in mid corner and that is likely tyres which seem to make more noise, based on a quick watch. 600LT picks up speed more quickly and both hitting 300ish under the bridge on the main straight is incredible not least as he carries that speed under the bridge. Merc is more settled and think I said before it does flatter the driver on track but can see how that would make the 600Lt more of a challenge.

Interesting for me is how well the Merc held on to the GT3 race car (could not make out if it was another GTR or Z4) car for a bit, quicker a touch on the straight bits but gobbled up under braking and left, right, left type affairs as expected. Two great cars getting a similar result in different ways.

To be honest, ar1s are amazing track tires so timing wise it’s hard to compare to ps4s.

I’ve heard similar about a gt3. Know a guy who sold his and he said while it was very capable it was also quite boring all around compared to other stuff he owns/drives - ultima for e.g.
I did a road trip into Wales a while back with a mixed bag of cars but one mate was in his 991 GT3 RS. Following him closely did for my windscreen sadly but no way could he get away from me and coming out of corners if he was in the wrong gear I was gone. Once moving and with dry roads the Merc is as quick as you will ever need and the engine delivers power from so low down it’s effortless.
