I know I'm freaking late but can someone answer my question, in performance wise how similiar were those DTM cars between 2014-2017 compared to GT3? How faster? Also, did they increase power for the 2018 season making the DTM cars even faster? Then yeah I know in 2019 Class 1 cars came into the scene and those were freaking fast
I remember one time a "friend" of mine who claimed she raced said that A racing drivers don't have mirrors and B they don't use them. I found it utterly rediculous. Time trials racers and motorcycle racers are the only ones i can think of that legitimately wouldn't have a need for a mirror.
Great cars, great championship,one of the few championships where merit is rewarded over money.Sadly after Audi's departure this championship will be confined to history books once again.😭
@@DavidPerel Yes.High costs killed it.After all it was a championship where skills were rewarded rather than money.Every driver was paid.Big loss for motorsports in general but it could have saved but ITR acted too late.But on the other hand you have to admit that Formula E developed itself into a formidable series and now every manufacturer want to join FE.FE does a goodjob.
@@didntstickthe1v150 100% but they've been there since they were 20. Driving this car was one of the best days of my life, honestly. What an awesome experience.
David Perel Yeah i feel you, its quite hard to come and stay in DTM. The cars are nuts, the sound, the braking and the downforce is incredible. sadly only a dream because of the money
@@didntstickthe1v150 Even if you had the money you wouldn't be able to drive one. It's for professional drivers only, one of the few elite championships where every driver is paid.
they normally just use pipe insulation that is normally used in warm water pipes in house construction. It is really cheap, available in all kinds of sizes and really effective as protection.
Not entirely correct, the padding is purpose built and molded to spec. Far from Pool Noodle material and actually very hard/stiff. You wouldn’t want to hit your head against it without a helmet on.
The braking force at 2:25 damn!
i could listen to this sound all day!
The sound of the Mercedes is insane
it is the DTM rfactor2 sound exactly !!! amazing video
After playing plenty of Gran Turismo it's nice to watch the real thing.
This experience was so insane. I wish I could articulate the feelings of driving this car better. Unfortunately no game does it justice 🙁

Rundenzeit 1:42:2
Ganz okay für jemand der mal eben so fährt.
Crazy sound!
Best sound ever 😍
@@DavidPerel yes it is!
i get they want good weight distribution and same silhouette but could fit a hot tub in there!
That is a sexy car

Sad day for Motorsport but perhaps inevitable:(

Mercedes benz 😍❤️🤤💪
oh sweet goodness
I wish road car amg sounds like this
Did you accidently press the pit lane button at the hairpin?
Yea, my knuckle kept clipping it, only figured that out for the last 2 laps. So irritating.
1:49 lol
Ridvan Albay I
Vtec kicks in 😂😂
I can thank my knuckle for that 😂
David Perel 🤣 that damn pit limiter
What sort of engine was it V8? A pity Benz isn't still there developing one under Class One rules, because the Audi is very good at the moment.
V8. They ran V8s until 2018 and this Merc had one.
Was that a test ,,just for fun“ or are you maybe going to race in DTM?
It was just a test. I'm too old to race in DTM mate.
David Perel Well, theres some drivers that are 30-40 years old, but just wanted to know

GREAT VIDEO, BUT IM A LITTLE DISAPOINTED WITH THE TOP SPEED
DTM will be much faster in 2019 with an extra 100bhp
What happened at 1:50 ?
he pushed the pit limiter
My knuckle kept hitting the pit limiter at the hairpin... amateur hour
I like the padding on the roll cage. Essentially overengineered pool noodles. Lol.

Much better than GT3 car
Yes, it became the GT3 championship and sell them as DTM 😢
how high is the redline ?
Wish I could say but they wouldn't tell me. "Change when the lights tell you" is all I got.
Aha... Love the part at 1:49. Are you french ?
South African :)
Your name sounds french though :D
sounds like 7.5 -8k
😍😍😍👍👍👍
