I think at Spa you need to trim off the downforce and aim for max speed on the straights. My stock 991.2 GT3 manual did the same time as this on cup2 n1 and stock alignment & brake pads. Main difference: higher speeds at the end of the straights. There's just not enough high speed corners for the drag from the wings to be worth it.
Hello there!! Yes we have seen your video online a couple of days prior to ours i think! That lap-time for a 991.2 GT3 is very very impressive and congratulations on that!! It certainly is in our plans for one of our future testings, to experiment with the different aero settings on the car, especially since it is that easy! I am very curious to see what difference that will make and how. Pouhon, Paul Frere, Blanchimont, Eau Rouge, i consider them all fast speed corners which are affected by aero. First, we need to set a nice steady lap - which the lap shown in the video isn't! :) Thanks for your comment :)
@@wdp_racing Cheers, see you next year on track maybe. BTW which trackdays at Spa do you like? I've only done 2 so far and neither of them I liked very much. The last one was RSR and they just way overbook it... too many cars, too many slow rental drivers (or fast ones in slow cars) just impossible to find space... I spent all day to find 1 free lap
@@JCviggen1 Well, this is an ever ending discussion really and based on my experience so far there are three things that make or break a trackday. A) It’s the amount of cars registered B) Thé safety briefing in the morning C) Luck The first two can be controlled but the third one is also very important in terms of what kind of drivers/egos are coming to that day and what car they are bringing. Usually towards the end of the day people get tired and the track is less busy. Feel free to send an email to zannos@wdp-racing.com to connect and chat about next years days :)
Thank you for commenting! The oversteer into Brussels was unfortunately due to a stiffer setting in the rear anti-roll bar. The car really wanted to step the tail out and after this day we proceeded to soften the rear again and this problem was solved. This time was on Nankang AR-1 tires.
Don't think we can put a number yet on this question. Will have to manage to drive on the same day and test this. The CRS feels more refined somehow but does this translate to a faster laptime? Will have to test and see!
@@wdp_racing Thank you. Was curious because I have tried both tires and they are very close lap time wise. Turn in is sharper with AR1 and sidewall is stiffer. Lap times seem to suggest that CRS might be a tad faster.
Alex! Well it all started many years back when I first tried them out. Since then, in terms of absolute grip/laptimes I find them inferior only to the Direzza’s G03 and the newly introduced CUP2Rs which also are on different price range. So the performance is certainly there. I have used them on the GT3 and apart from finding them very grippy i also like the stiffness of the sidewalls as they make the front end more pointy and responsive. Have you tried them on any of your cars yet?
@@wdp_racing well I tried them twice on my Gt3 and had failures both times with sidewalls. As a result that was enough for me and decided I didn't want anymore of these.! Perhaps I was unlucky I don't know but back to back failures was enough for me to make my mind up. 🤷🏻♂️

Fast! Which tires?
Thanks Damien. The tires in this lap are Nankang AR-1.
Όχι ρε φίλε .. Και ανάποδα..; Μεγαλείο
SUper chrono. Elle semble réglé assez survireuse en entrée sur les freins. Tu roules avec quelles pneus?

@@wdp_racing de quoi améliorer facilement avec ces réglages. 👍👍
How you you think the AR-1s compare to the new CRS in terms of lap times?

Why Nankangs Kosta?
