Gt2 vs Gt3 ?

[Jero]

Hi, i was searching on the net and still dont understand. What are the difference between Gt2 and Gt3 cars ?

[CapGanchoPt]

GT2 is a GT car and GT3 is a race car.

GT3 has a high-revving N/A engine like a proper race car. The extra weight is due to reinforced chasis.GT3 excels on a tight track, where the GT2 doesn't shine at all.
Throw some straightways and GT2 is one of the fastest production cars ever.

Like a propper race car? What the ♥♥♥♥ is that supposed to mean?

GT2 is an out-and-out international endurance track spec car. It may look like a road-going car, but there's very little left of one under the mainly carbon-fibre body. However, it has less downforce, a smaller fuel tank and a lower power limit than a GT1, which is the "top end" of tin-top GT car but will still be eaten for breakfast by Prototypes (Le Mans or Daytona).

GT3 is a road-going car chassis, body, engine, gearbox, with a racing roll cage, racing fuel tank, uprated suspension, tyres, brakes and having been put on a severe diet (if it can be stripped out, it will be!)

There's a lower spec now as well - GT4 - which is basically the cars that race at a national level, but FIA homologated, so they can be moved between countries' series, whereas before every country had its own spec and requirements.

If you go to the FIA website, you can actually download the various specifications for free. They're actually surprisingly easy to read, for technical documents!

I should have mentioned there that GT1 and GT2 will usually race together, but GT3, these days, is so significantly slower that most endurance series split them out. These days you normally get two separate sprint races: GT1/GT2 and GT3/GT4. "Full on" Endurance events like the 12/18/24 hour races, everything will normally be on the track together.

I was wondering about this, it seems GT2 and GT3 have the exact same performance in this game.. they can compete with each other just fine, it seems like they're suppose to.

A good driver will always do faster lap times with the gt2 than gt3 cars.

Thanks for your answers guys

It would be hard for you to get this is any more wrong lol.

Gt3 has way less downforce then a gt2 and so its going to be faster in a straight line but slower in corners and any tighter circuits for this exact reason. GT2 also has better and more tyre options then gt3. Overall lap time on most circuits gt2 will be a fair bit quicker but some longer faster tracks not needing as much aero can bring the gt3 cars closer if the gt2 cornering advantage isnt worth as much each lap.

GT1 isn't a thing anymore, was stopped a few years ago but your points are still relevant :)

[Amarillon]

Actually, the standard does still exist. It's just that in order to simplify the classifications for major races, where up to 8(!) classes could be racing on one track, they now run a smaller number of classifications. I think we're down to either 5 or 6, for the next season? The LP and DP 1 & 2 categories have retained their name, but the rest have changed completely.

The standards documents are still on the FIA website as current, though. ;)

GT1 was / is the best.. ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.. we need a GT1 dlc

GT1s aren't raced in any series anymore, full stop.

LMP and DP have nothing to do with GT1.

[Amarillon]

The GT1 standard is not raced any more, but the standard still exists, exactly as I said. Look for yourself. It took me seconds to search for the standards on the FIA website.

Most series are not using the GTn classifications at all any more and are now using the new, simplified, nomenclature for GT categories. However, Le Mans Prototypes and Daytona Prototypes, which usually race alongside the GTs, are retaining the current naming convention. Again, exactly as I said.

So. Your point is what, exactly?

[SeriousSpy]

I know... I'm agreeing with you, I was just confused by you randomly mentioning LMP and DP.

almost same model of details and cars handle are a bit diferent nothing to worry about

We're not talking about Porsches, lol...
