4:55 gotta love the quick upshift to prevent the loss of traction while accelerating. All in all very aggressive and technical driving! All the best from Germany
@s3m-43 My Fanatec Podium DD2 with Porsche wheel would DANCE if I let go the wheel like this on the straight 😂 I need much dampening to make it stop oscilate like crazy.
Well in sim racing, it's not really the goal to have realistic steering feel, there's a lot more going on with the force feedback than there is in reality, where you can feel most things elsewhere. So it does make sense as to why the real wheel is dampened so much.
@@masterkamen371I race in GT7, not lobbies full of idiots who can’t drive, actually for a team, and the feeling on GT3’s is pretty real as i run low traction control and low ABS so it’s really difficult to drive and the like of snap oversteer understeer come into play, plus I don’t race with major assists like most do
That was wild! The big Merc seemed to have more top end than the Porsches. Also, so cool how you short shifted to prevent the rears from spooling up in the wet - excellent! You are quite a driver Dean and loved seeing you at work in your office!
Thanks man, keep in mind I was one of the only full spec GT3’s so a lot more aero which helps with the main straight given the characteristics of the last corner 😉
The way you drove that car, the way it behaved on track, the way you had to save it had COMPLETELY no such similarity with what iRacing offers but reacted exactly how ACC works. There you go, which is the best sim?? ;)
It was fully wet so that changes things significantly! To learn iRacing is a better sim, however it strongly depends on personal taste and your goals 👊🏼
It's more then a sim, iRacing got people behind the sim. It's more a company, they know what their doing since 2008. The physics are more important then some graphics.
I have nothing to add or take away from that drive. You obviously know what you're doing and I wasn't in the car and cannot feel or see what you do but the results are obvious. You are an absolute professional and I truly appreciated watching you get after it and honing your craft as you've done. Well done Sir ! 10/10 Edit: Liked/Subscribed
Blind corners, elevations, corners with no support at all, puts physics to a new level of commitment and sensorial driving...! This looks like a very technical circuit 😮😮😮
One of my students has asked me why I keep telling him to be smooth, but he keeps seeing race car drivers sawing at the steering wheel. I've tried many times to explain - and not just to this one student - that the intent is for the CAR to follow a smooth line, for the CAR to have smooth weight transitions, etc., and for the DRIVER to do whatever is necessary to achieve that state. I'm going to show him this video so it might trigger an understanding within him. It makes for an excellent example. I love how you make traction corrections to the rear with your steering inputs, but we can hear through the audio that your throttle foot is very disciplined no matter what your hands are doing. It is so fun to watch a master produce his art with a good tool. Thank-you for posting.
That's having complete confidence in your ability to know exactly how the car and track are going to behave... pure commitment. That was a very pleasant video!
8:57 - I know it's slow in a racecar and frowned upon, but I love few things more than driving in greasy conditions with undulating roads like that. It lets you steer with the throttle and really hone technique at fairly low speeds.
Wow that Mercedes sounds good, This is why I love GT / Endurance racing the GT3 Cars sounds so great and they are build from road going cars wow, warm regards from Port Elizabeth, South Africa
I wish Mercedes would make a version of this with no restrictors and no de-tuning for a few collectors, so we could see what this would be capable of with an extra 150hp.
awesome driving man! i follow your ig and notice u drive different types of cars like the Lambo or Porsche, do u have preferences to which cars u feel more comfortable with? being some are mid, front, or rear engine cars.
Every car is different, some are more natural, some demand a specific driving style. In short the AMG is the most effortless to go fast, the Lamborghini is the most specific and so also very rewarding. The Porsche sits in three between, my preference remains private 😉
such a masterclass of handling a car in the wet track!! btw when you changed the TC from 3 to 4, is the 4 a higher TC setting (where the computer controls the traction more so it slides less) OR is it a lower TC setting (like the case in assetto corsa where higher number means less TC so it slides more and computer does not control much)
It’s so hard for me to get through one of these videos given that I have a full on simulator in my room and I instantly want to jump into a race😂😂😂 nice driving
This is awesome! Would be great to have a voice over to hear what’s going through your mind, what adjustments you’re making, what you’re feeling, etc.. for the first few laps I found myself on the edge of my seat on those sketchy corners 😂
How old where you when you started the fiesta sprint cup, how can you start in it? Do you have to buy a racecar or join a team because I also have 0 experience and I want to start racing as well. BTW I'm from Belgium, close to the Circuit Zolder
Thanks man! Conditions were very difficult and it was the first time in the Mercedes. You try to find the limit as soon as possible and then work your way down to stay on it!
Ive heard that the amg gt black series feels floaty and disconnected (feels like driving on a wet track) when being pushed hard on track, how does the GT3 version feel, does it have the same inherent characteristics baked in because of the chassis or does the GT3 suspension and tyres iron that characteristic out? And how does the AMG GT3 compare to something like a 992 GT3 cup car? Thank you!
its traction control. you can also see what tc settings hes running right after he tweaked the dial or in the center of the screen, right where it says TC
At a guess from using that AMG GT3 dash for simracing it could be to cycle the left and right side of the dash for different information, Screen 1 and Screen 2, just a guess though
Hey Daan! Nice video and nice driving. I'm a big fan of the AMG GT3 but could you show us and explain your seating position? Like what you prefer as seat hight, steering angle etc.
@@DaanArrow How would it go against a v8 super car (600+hp 1350kg) on a track like Bathurst or the Nurburgring? I reckon it'll best the v8 supercar, but not by much. thoughts?

Gran Turismo 7 has actually nailed the AMG sound.

Brake model and tyre model is way better in iRacing then every sim on the market
Handles like a cow patt.....
Every real racer I talked to, says iracing is better.

Great to have you here! 👊🏼
This was amazing, so many corrections. You and that car are one.
That was some crazy throttle control and an interesting line for the wet.
Portimao sure is a technical, tough track. And in those conditions the AMG GT3 looked like a handful - lots of steering corrections. Well done.
Pure masterclass of how to drive in wet condition. Hats off.
No person nor video game could replicate how you drove that car, good job 🤙🏽
I appreciate that! 👊🏼
CRAZY driving man!!!
I LOVE AMG GT3❤ THANKS FOR DRIVING THIS CAR🎉
superb driving!
I love your racing skill my dude!
Thanks mate!
Great work. Love it
i watched pov for the first time and realising bro u are a true gem !!
So smooth
Great Great Great, amazing driving in the wet!!! Respect
Glad you enjoyed it
What kind of xbox controller is that
The AMG GT3 😮💨
incredible driving
i love when the truck is wet, you see really the skills of pilots amazing
6:10 the passes are flawless
absolutely slayed those fools
The last corner looks so much fun, the car on the edge at high speed 😊
10:38 that front hood about to take off
amazing driving👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Great driving!
Thanks man 👊🏼
This man took both hands off the wheel in the rain. Unreal.
Hahaha, thanks man 👊🏼
Increible! sound car
Incredible race. I would have liked a little bit more infos on what categories were racing which cars you were passing.
Rippin video. Keep em coming.
Thanks! Will do ;)
amazing drive and fighting with steering wheel 😁
I like how it just had the normal windshield wiper stalk, “you see officer this car is stock, just look here”
Nice drive, top
you are amazing where can i watch your races
Make sure to follow me on Instagram, I share all events and races there ;)
@@DaanArrow I'm definitely following you on Instagram I guess I missed it
I thought for sure the snap while overtaking on the high-speed at 2:22 was a shunt holy crap what a move
Thank you mate 👊🏼
One hell of a driver in the wet. Very impressive.
I wish Mercedes would make a version of this with no restrictors and no de-tuning for a few collectors, so we could see what this would be capable of with an extra 150hp.
Hey Dan can you tell what camera you use and what stability settings?
Your onboard videos are insanely good 😮
Thanks man! It’s just a GoPro 👊🏼

Higher number is more input from the computer
Edit: never mind I stand corrected
@@mail_liw ohhh i see, thanks!
On the Mercedes it’s other way round, the higher the number the less TC ;)
We need more of this but with commentary
Make sure to see my ‘Onboard story’s’ I’ve posted videos with commentary there ;)
Great drive, tricky conditions tho and the track itself looks like a handful 🤣
It’s so hard for me to get through one of these videos given that I have a full on simulator in my room and I instantly want to jump into a race😂😂😂 nice driving
Happy you enjoyed it mate 👊🏼
I've just got logitech wheel and pedals/shifter, but this camera angle isn't far off how I have ACC set and its making me wanna play too 😂
the car refuses to stick to the wet track lmao
This is awesome! Would be great to have a voice over to hear what’s going through your mind, what adjustments you’re making, what you’re feeling, etc.. for the first few laps I found myself on the edge of my seat on those sketchy corners 😂
Hahaha, thanks man! You should check out a few other videos of mine called ‘Onboard Story’ where I did exactly that 😅
OH MY GOD
if the car is full auto, why would peak power revs be displayed? or is that just something all GT3 cars have, regardless of transmission?
What do you mean with ‘full auto’? It’s a sequential gearbox where the driver decides when to shift ;)
This the regular GT3 or is it the GT3 Evo?

@@DaanArrow dankuwel voor de tips🙏🙏
funnily enough, you still activate the wipers as in a regular vehicle lmao.
I thought I was about to watch a racing sim video 😂😂
Wow it's almost like you are drifting all the time instead of driving 😅 insane experience, wonder how it feels in the body
Thanks man! Conditions were very difficult and it was the first time in the Mercedes. You try to find the limit as soon as possible and then work your way down to stay on it!
🤪 mind blowing, on wet surface, great, cheers
Thank you! Cheers!
@@DaanArrow I am also from Portimão, Next time here, must see you running.
Cheers
saying goodbye without waving
2:31 comment ça se fait que le volant reste stable ???🤨
nice!
Tht Merc tried .. to end him at every corner.....
Wow! You blew past everyone.
Were they on slick tires and you were on rain tires or are you just a better driver?
We were all on rain tires, I was one of the only GT3 cars so it’s not a fair comparison but we did win the race with +60s advantage 😅
That’s the thinnest steering wheel I’ve seen .
A lot of understeer as well .
What's up with the sudden jerkin on the steering wheel?
Ive heard that the amg gt black series feels floaty and disconnected (feels like driving on a wet track) when being pushed hard on track, how does the GT3 version feel, does it have the same inherent characteristics baked in because of the chassis or does the GT3 suspension and tyres iron that characteristic out?

Girls dreams: "omg he held my hand 😍😍😍"
Boys dreams:
What was the blue dial you kept tweaking?
Also this was a joy to watch thankyou for posting
its traction control. you can also see what tc settings hes running right after he tweaked the dial or in the center of the screen, right where it says TC
What mean S1 and S2 buttons in the center console? And why are there white circles on the front glass?
My guess is that the circles are rock chips
The circles are bubbles in the windshield tearoffs. Pretty hard to get them perfect. As for the S1/S2 I haven't a clue.
In this case it are programmed button's with various function's.
At a guess from using that AMG GT3 dash for simracing it could be to cycle the left and right side of the dash for different information, Screen 1 and Screen 2, just a guess though
New subs :)

Bro i love this car, what's the Vmax of this car and what's the fastest you have ever driven??❤🎉

in ACC this car is so understeery. but irl the rear is playful. i guess it's the different setups.
It’s very dependent on driving style and indeed setup ;)
