With regards to the AMG - it is a car that requires very proficient trailbraking to keep it stable. Lifting off the brakes too suddenly will unsettle it. The only way to drive it is either brake before the corner and coast (safe but very slow), or trail brake aggressively. It's a very nose heavy car, so if you lift off the brakes too soon, the front suddenly becomes very grippy compared to the rear.
A massive shame that brabham closed down very recently or we would have been blessed by the roush made Ford V8 engine that it uses making a hell of a lot of noise in the game! I recall for only one full season and an invitational race that the BT62 raced in SRO GT2 EU series, as well a few appereances in Britcar. It did win a race iirc. It's cruel we'll have to miss it in ACC. On the other hand, and interestingly, the 935 Porsche should not be in this pack for any reason except one. It's not one of currently, very few, homoligated SRO GT2 cars available. This very car however is one personally owned by Stephane Ratel, who is the boss of SRO (the organisation that owns and hosts GT4 EU/USA, GTWC EU/asia/USA... the list goes on) and often travels with him to events where the GT1 Sportsclub exhibition runs happen. It's excessive imo but great to have it nontheless! Closing note, i have seen the GT2 audi in person at the Brussels Motorshow in 2020, 1,5 months before covid went global. That car is another reason why i love the R8 as a racecar and i hope to have a 1/43 scale version of it in my collection someday!
The Brabham was probably already almost finished for ACC, but the shutdown means they probably can't include it because of licensing or something. Quite sad indeed. 😥 The 935 sure is an interesting car, thanks for the background info. 😅
Interesting, the Maserati is the car I was fast and comfortable with immediately and even a day later it is by far my favourite. Having said that though, I have the impression they did something wrong with the brake, it looks way too strong. It can challenge GT3 on tracks without high speed high downforce corners (i.e. almost all tracks out of Suzuka, Spa, Silverstone).
You might be right, I was putting it on the track that I didn't have to adjust braking points massively with it, but maybe it's actually the car. Will have to do some further testing.
I have xbox series s . All assetto corsa dlc I'm looking forward to this release. Thanks for your great content mate. Your forza tunes are top drawer. 💯👌
Interesting i started sim racing in vr right from the start and never got used to flatscreen. The hole visibility thing isnt nearly as bad in vr specially seeing the dash.
i tried driving the ferarri challenge and lambo super trofeo in an online GT2 only session and the game just refused to let me join the server until i switched to a GT2 car. Might be bugged.
Maybe it's just in single player where they are grouped, no idea. My guess would have been that they are too different for competitive online racing anyway.
@@HDeeRacing I think the real life series also has the Super Trofeo and Ferrari Challenge cars, so the select screen has them in the GT2 category when it should just be the GT2 cars
i love the way the 935 looks but i hate it's handling, it feels way too eager to swing the rear out on corner entry, and the front end doesn't want to cooperate.
I think most people are still trying to figure out GT2 tuning. I haven't really delved into it myself yet, but I've heard that meta tuning can still work for these cars as well. I want to make a video on that soon.
@@HDeeRacing In the second chicane, when you were testing the Audi, you overbraked, and that happened because your brakes were not yet hot, on the brake bar it appears yellow when they are cold, and green when they are hot, so cold brakes will not work. They are so responsive, greetings brother
You mean in my outlap? Yes, cold brakes are playing a role there, but look at the next lap, even with warm brakes I can't brake at the GT3 braking point in the Audi GT2. The brakes are just not good enough.

Good explanation of the car I think, definitely not an easy one to drive.

The 935 is a homage to the 935/78 aka Moby Dick that raced in Group 5 in the 70s and 80s.
I see, that makes sense. 👍

Thank you! Hopefully this DLC will come to consoles soon. 🙏

I can imagine. VR has some definitive advantages, but I don't think it's for me.

Man, 2 months without simracing (my house is under renovations due to flooding) really hurts.
i love the way the 935 looks but i hate it's handling, it feels way too eager to swing the rear out on corner entry, and the front end doesn't want to cooperate.
Maybe with a bit of time someone will come up with a clever way to set it up so it behaves better.
This seems to be very popular right now. Looking forward to watching
Edit: Excellent as usual 🙂
This DLC took a long time to get to the game, but the wait was so with it. Thank you. 😊
Where can I learn how to tune the GT2s? Assuming you aren't using the Standard tunnes. Thank you

@@HDeeRacing Thanks for letting me know. Best
My bro, you dont warm the brakes in first brake in monza with audi R8, thats the problem
Which problem are you talking about?
