POLL / Driving Helps

That’s until you actually drive a real GT3R ...At anything but pedestrian pace

 

I’ll use both if they are available in the real car/series. In main settings I have them turned off and rely on the setup values if available. Typically I’ll run low tc and whatever drivers typically run for abs in the real series if that info is readily available.

 

Agreed. I'm only using TC/ABS, if the real cars support it too. Since the GT3s have this onboard controlled TC/ABS, i had to learn to get used to it. For me, finding out the most suitable setting for my driving style is a part of the setup process for each track, with the new GT3s. In practice, I always switch TC off and ABS to 4 or 5, before finetuning to my likings. Generally Im using no - low TC and low - mid ABS settings, only increasing them, when its starting to rain or tyres are dying.

 

When available on the car, then probably it was designed to take advantage of these two aids, so I'll use them, since I want to go as fast as possible. From my personal experience, at least on GT3 cars, I tend to be faster with a low setting for TC and a higher setting for ABS. Using too much TC doesn't allow me to use the throttle to help with car rotation on slow corners, equally disabling it altogether makes me lose too much grip. On some slower cars I might disable it if I'm in the mood to play a lot with the throttle to keep the car under control. When it comes to ABS, I only drive without it on cars that don't have this option.

 

This is a very good point and something I haven't even considered, I never touch the setting whilst I am driving and probably should start doing that.

 

Yeah, if any of us tried to drive a real GT3 with the gadgets off and try to quick we'd all be killed.

AMG Black Edition cars ship with a massive warning note to NOT turn the TC off, becuase they have so much torque you'd rinse the rears just tapping the throttle.

 

Yep, driven a ‘black’ a few times , they are fun but soon bring you back to reality if you get cocky, drove a GT3 pooch ‘ (Targa prepared) a few weeks ago . Amazing even at 70%

 

AGREED!!! This is why i love old powerful cars. Controlling the slides!

 

jes, in my real car. Not with plastic/game pedals on an office chair

 

You SOD! You know what i mean.

And my chair and pedals are not plastic!!! Well, not fully anyway...
