I feel like GT2 was a missed opportunity to make the step to GT3 easier and a good chance to have renamed the ladder to make more sense. Limiting the series to bronze and am drivers feels like a mistake to me
@@Oscar97o yeah when I said that I remembered that gt1 is still an sro thing for their hypercar meetups, but ideally the naming convention is addressed somehow. Naming should probably go by horsepower but the aero on gt3 cars is so effective they can still overhaul the gt2 cars
Gt2 will be gt3 soon with the amount of factory support flooding gt3 for le mans. The scope of gt2 is awesome and I think the cars entering the class are exactly what I wanted to see. Hopefully it grows as gt3 gets more and more competitive
AMG have some amazing power units. You can get the new AMG C63 with a 4 cylinder engine. Before you poo poo 4 cylinder engines, this one has an astonishing 671 BHP, it has F1 technology. If Caterham and Lotus put this incredible 4 pot in the 7 and the Emira, blimey.
Intresting categorie, this GT2. It might be less boring to drive these cars in future simulators, as more power and less downforce means a greater drift angle of the car and different ways to be fast. GT3 and especially GT4 is all about driving clean and making no mistakes.
With the new AMG GT generation around the corner, possibly next year, why didn't Mercedes wait until the next gen debut? Isn't more convenient from a marketing point to promote the new car as well. I'm happy to see the support grows for the GT2 class, as the number of platforms is still limited compared to GT3, and also older, considering that the Porsche entry is from the previous 991 generation that is no longer in production, while the Audi is on its way to leave GT racing altogether, but it's still kind of the same with this AMG GT2. The only new entries that I can think of right now are the Maserati and the KTM.
Quite small but it is new and harder to make it catch on especially with the driver qualifications/restrictions but it is still good racing and has interesting cars.
German car companies have the most nonsensical naming. 991 comes after 997? Designations with these companies are purely arbitrary, the cars may as well be named after people.
Looks like the GT2 is a nerfed version aero wise but pumped up power wise So the ultimate amg would be someone who increases angle of attack on the rear wing Large splitter and canards in the front and Voila the ultimate AMG with 200 more ho than the gt3 version
People forget motorsport is a business, so Mercedes has only done what a business does which is make money, by selling these things to GT2 drivers; gentlemen drivers and billionares
I suspect the type of gentleman driver that GT cars attract is probably going to want the higher grip/lower power and thus easier to drive GT3 car. To be fast in this sort of car you need to steer with the throttle out of turns
Its the other way round, extracting lap time/handling the car at the limit is much more difficult in the high downforce GT3 than the simple "point and squirt" GT2 cars.
@@abcdefgh-xf2th I don't think the type of driver GT2 is expecting spends much time on the limit. The caliber of driver I'm picturing is a bit above that guy who put the pace car into the wall.

It's sort of like a track only version of the GT Black Series.
With less aero, power, and weight
First we got the Audi, then the Porsche, now this. Fantastic machines
Weird they would release this now when the AMG GT is about to end production and the new model is testing nearing production
That naming scheme is so stupid. GT2 being in the middle of GT4 and GT3?
Well GT4 and GT3 were already a thing. And I guess it makes sense if you only take power into account.
A rename of gt3 and gt2 would be nice, or just rename gt4 as gt3 and current gt3 as gt1
@@litreocola6447 Not possible, GT1 is already the name of a supercar track day series hosted by SRO.

In case GT racing naming hasn't been confusing enough... ;)

Nah you can slide GT4 cars and get away with it

Schönes Auto, aber leider kein B Corsa
How big is GT2 racing really? I try to follow GT4 and GT3 racing but not that clued up with GT2.

next year's safety car?

Wow a lot of germans in the comment section.

Can anyone buy gt3

@@Phos9 The point still stands, high downforce cars are not easier to drive.
What a pointless category GT2 is. It is high time to sort out GT classes.
whith the new gt2 the gt3 need +100 kw and more aero. OR bring back the "old" dtm v8 / i4
