As a cyclist, it's well known that wheels and rotational weight makes a huge difference in how quickly bikes accelerate, decelerate, turn in, etc. The lighter weight is exponentially more important when it's on a rotating wheel than on the rest of the bike/car.
Angular momentum is determined by the moment of inertia, which is quadratic for wheels
True, although the very large diameter of bicycle wheels and the greater proportion of the overall weight of a bicycle that the wheels contribute (compared to a car) mean the impact of lighter wheels on a bicycle will be hugely more significant.
@@pjay3028interesting remark!
Colin Chapman quote: Adding power makes you faster on the straights.
Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.
It so nice to see a youtuber really explaining how it feels and the camera position is brillant!
This guy can drive
At first didn’t know it was him
Flying around while narrating can't be easy.
Big Balls James should be his new name… Impressive Mate
Not wrong.. wish he had the same camera angles as misha
James was flying. He really can drive.
For those of us on the “other side of the pond” who likely will never get to experience the ‘Ring, it’s fantastic to live it through these videos. Would LOVE to be behind the wheel of the GT3RS. Heck, I’d love to be in the passenger seat to experience that. My time in a NASCAR and taking my GTI to the local track only whets the appetite for more track experiences. Great video, James.
New respect for Mr JWW. I had no idea James was so skilled at track day driving. After watching the channel off and on for years I appreciated his personality and the production value of his videos. Turns out he really is a driver.
I mean, he had a season in a race series in a Praga, so I'd hope he's decent.
@@LiqdPT Wasn't it a Caterham?
@@Speednote10 I think that was before the Praga.
@@Speednote10 the Praga was in 2021 Britcar Endurance Championship
@@Speednote10 and he was in the 2020 Caterham academy series.
Brilliant video James... Stunning view through the windscreen while driving. Commentary on point as well. From Portland, Oregon USA
I had no idea Mr JWW is such a good driver, I've only seen videos chatting about nice cars. Well done!
He used to race ages ago
@@A26638gahxb Yeah he did quite well in some amateur races he did
@@A26638gahxbhe was in a race series maybe 2 years ago? In a Praga.
Yes Praga and Catherim before that
Big respect for driving and talking at the same time! Next level!😮
The exhaust couldn't be more spot on!
love the pov of the camera 😃 you use a widelense i presume? would be fun to have camera on speedometer to see how fast you are going because you are definitely fast 😁
Amazing driving and people always underestimate the difference in rotational weight savings till they feel it.
James, you are impeccable with driving at high speed and talking at the same time. Thx for sharing for sharing your joyous moments. Aloha from Hawaii 😊
I just got a set of 19" Litespeed forged magnesium wheels to replace the OEM Rays forged aluminum wheels on my 370Z. The weight savings per corner will be about 9 lbs and I'm eager to see how it feels after I get them installed.
I don't care for an up-shift sound ... it's the down-shift sound that I love ❤️
Excellent down-shift sound, Sir 😬👍🏻
Amazing video as always! The way you stepped up in your video’s as well as your driving is astonishing! Thanks for the amazing video!
Sub 7 minute lap. HECTIC.
Was thinking the same. No mean feat.
It's not just direction change and braking that is improved by lowering the unsprung weight. Acceleration benefits too.
About a decade ago we did a test with G-Power, the German BMW specialist tuner in Bavaria, to see if lowering the unsprug weight with their forged alloys made a difference to acceleration to speed. With a saving of about 3kg per corner we measured a consistent 0.1 sec improvement in the 0-100mph time with digital test equipment. The explanation for this is that the available power does not have to rotate as much wheel mass off the line and through the speed range.
As Colin Chapman famously said, "For speed add lightness!"
what was that dinging noise and how was it not driving you nuts?!
Seat belt, because of the 4 point harnas
@@Alexander-bk1se I couldn't put up with that!
OK, I thought perhaps it’s that, so you can buy dummy seatbelt things that stop that for like $.99 lol
James this is your best content. Cars going fast. More of this please.. plus bring back modern classic series please👍🏻
I have to say this hands down Man (JAMES) you got some BA*LS to send that GT3 as hard as you did WOW,,, i have too i seriously have to get a GT3 back in my life again from that video i can feel the passion i an missing yet again for a GT3.. i was think of that exhaust Dave got on his from DDE but your sounds on the sweet spot the sound is there but not in your face loud... i an truly Loving the videos on both channels congarts to you and your team
Slick channel,most enjoyable,well done.
Nice driving skill! 🔥 Hope you enjoyed our super light-weight Magnesium wheels on your GT3 🚀🚀
Heck yeah! All the GT3 content please!
Can you talk about the manthey racing brake pads ? Is it better ?
Definitely better!
@MrJWW Nice comparison, any unsprung weight that’s taken off is a plus!
To make life easier, look into the HYTORC LION gun for the center lock wheels, won’t have to deal with the breaker bar or torque wrench and can swap out wheels by yourself.
Hey bro, that Porsche is one the smoothest I’ve noticed round the ring, that’s somet special that
it's said that rotational weight is ~8x of improved impact compared to other types of weight savings in terms of performance on a vehicle. They are just so (wait for it...) bloody expensive. :)
That seatbelt chime 😬! Otherwise great stuff 👏
Schoolboy error, forgot to plug in your seatbelt before harnessing up 😂😂😂. Nice driving James!
Nice driving, sir.
Point well made.
Less is more!
Just one thing:
Porsche at Nurburgring
NOT
Ferrari at Mugello
Auf Wiedersehn
NOT
Ciao
😉
Simply great content yet again and in good quality. Very fast
I think I may agree with you. $30 ,000is a lot of dosh, maybe the patrol warrior for a little more cash
Did I hear it bottom out on the light weight wheels ?? Fantastic video
Great lap James, I make it around 7 mins Bridge to Gantry! keep up the stellar content!!
Why don’t you use a seatbelt dummy to put in the lock? The acoustic seatbelt reminder stresses so much man 😂😅
such a satisfying run....
How good does that car look hauling ass around the ring? Nice driving Mr. JWW
What is the annoying chime about when he heads out with the lighter weight wheels?
Should have done this as a blind test - put one set on and blindfold the driver until he is in the car - then do it again with the other wheels. Actually do it a bunch of times so you can see if the driver can really determine when the car has the low weight wheels on the car. Obviously there is an emotional bias for any driver to believe the expensive magnesium wheels are “better”. I assume also the tire sizes are the same? Should have put oem tires in both wheel sets .
Yea that would have been better.
Its not an educational guess when it comes to unsprung weight. Lap times, acceleration, and braking, all improve with lighter components. Its been proven time and time and time again
Not to sound daft but, I didn’t think that magnesium would like the heat from the breaks too-much. I have seen how it is near impossible to put out a magnesium fire.
As Usher Raymond said “ GOTTA LET IT BURN”😂
Very nice ride :-)
The seatbelt chime is annoying when you wear the 4 point harnas
Some might say that the cameras doesn't do those wheels justice 😋
Nice video. I wonder what your impression would be with the ABS disconnected. My experience is that you have to adjust your driving style, especially in the braking area.
its pretty well documented ABS is much faster and more consistent than any top level driver. Dont disconnect your ABS.
@@mm6705 I agree. However the majority of amateur sanctioning bodies will not allow ABS to be active. In that case lighter wheels/tires do make a significant difference.
My only comment/questions is, why is the car making that internal alarm/dinging sound? It is like a seatbelt wasn't fastened. The whole time he is driving, it is all I heard.
Seatbelt alarm because i guess he is using a (multi point) harness
Exactly this, Seatbelt wasn’t fastened because wearing HANS device. The sound stops after a minute
WELL 🤔 OF COURSE HE CAN DRIVE ,,,, HE GOT A DRIVING LICENCE !😣 ,,,,,,,,👍😎👏👏👏👏👏
Seatbelt chime??
Did you guys get the Mantey alignment done too?
Yes in a previous video 👍🏻
Did you sell your 997 GT3 rs 4.0?
I only here bing bing bing bing bing bing
camera in the passenger side, basically gave up its original position
This video would be complete if James then switched out the wheels for carbon wheels
Nice to see a GT3 driven properly instead of posing around the west end of London talking bollocks like some others you could mention
🤘😎🤘🇬🇧
I extremely hard to believe- do a real test to truly prove the value of the lighter wheels. Blind drive the different wheels - multiple time and record the times on the track. Then try to identify the expensive mag wheels and then have the track times revealed to see if the facts match your ability to discern the extra speed and. Real value of the magnesium wheels. Ideally have a seasoned Nurburgring pro driver also drive three laps with mag wheels and three with standard wheels- same tires- and find out if Heidi
Can discern the value of the mag wheels and then if his track times truly improve and by how much with the mag wheels. With this data you can prove conclusively if spending $12,000 on mag wheels are just a status symbol and how much time as a percent off times with steel wheels you are buying for $11,000. You didn’t even mention the comparative track time - you drove on the different wheels. With track times you would need multiple laps to weed out the anomaly lap or two. The question is very interesting to answer of course. another question is does $10,000 for csrbon ceramic brakes really translate into a faster car and can drivers really discern the difference on a track if they don’t know which brakes are on the car.
Uncut channel is better than this channel.
Great driving. Horrible wheel design
1st
You are! 🥇
Without a doubt your content has continued to get better and better over the years!
True!!! james i didn't know you were a almost pro race driver too!!!
this content is amazing thanks so much!!!
I once swapped out the standard mags on my 2013 Audi S4 for some Advan racing RS2's and the weight difference was 12.6kg to 8.1 kg i.e. 4.5kg saved per wheel. It was quite noticeable in acceleration, braking and turn in.
Can there really be a better drivers car, maybe but it’s unlikely to be road legal or so usable! Fantastic insight James, thank you, most enjoyable! 👍👏😀
This was an interesting drive!
765lt
you are a seriously good driver JWW top man
You sir are the best driver on TH-cam
Quality Mr James, GT3 sen-say-tion-all...
We need JWW + Micha at Nurburgring!!
Love this content! I have been doing comparisons like this with my 997 GT3RS and found out that just swapping the wheels is not enough. The suspension has to match the lighter weight, where it didn't do so well with my 997 stock shocks with mag wheels. It was too light on its feet its bouncing around too much and can't put the power down. Realized you need new suspension and tire pressures to match.
Wow what a car.
Yourself, Shmee and Misha need to have a race around the ring.
That would be so epic.
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Why are u even putting shmee even on that list? James and misha will absolutely annihilate tim. I mean i love tim but he comes no where near the level of james
dash cam or track telemetry cam for these roadtrips.
Great video. I was aware of the weight saving per corner/ wheel with the PCCB ceramic brakes and had seen magnesium alloy wheels on the McLaren F1 with Gordon Murray. I don’t understand what ‘unsprung mass’ is with reference to weight saving. It must add to the momentum to overcome m.v (mass Kg x velocity m/s ) when accelerating the wheels, but having more mass must help with high speed cruising on a motorway.
The viewing angle is Amaaaaazzzziiiing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Lightweight wheels, or even lighter than stock wheels make a big difference. I won't mention my cheap car but I got some -4lbs per corner wheels recently. After a month, I am getting 1.6 mpg more! It definitely feels like its gained some hp too! The hp may be placebo but the mpg increase definitely isn't!
Entertaining videos as usual! Where do you place the helmet camera exactly during this recording? Thanks in advance.
I would buy some Fuchs wheel, looks rather than function. I mean what's the point if you're not racing?
What's that dinging all about?
HANS device no seatbelt connected
UNBELIEVABLE!!! How can anyone tolerate that bonging for so long!!????
always amazing to watch this guy drive the nurburgring, and those roads you were on at the end....omg, perfect condition, and thats a country road to probabaly nowhere really..... shame on you Britain....
Please get a spare/backup seat belt to click in while you are using harnesses 😂. My ADHD hearing focuses in to the seatbelt beep far too much. Otherwise awesome content!
When reducing the unsprung mass, I assume you will have to adjust the suspension to cope if you wan't optimal settings?
First of all James, im really really happy for you to be able to experiance such things and how everything developped. Remembering the moment on the airfield when u asked if you should make your own channel into the cam of Sam I believe it was, its just great to have followed some of your journey, not all of it. But coming now back to your videos is just wow! Priviledge to see this content and your doing such a phenomenal job of transporting your experiance to the viewer.
I believe you when your saying that you recognize the difference - I would not believe many people such a comment...
Thank you!! And hopefully you have had the chance of getting to know the German pendant of you already? JP from JP Performance? You both would be so perfect together and would fit for a meetup between buddies - not just on youtube, but on personal levels I think. Ben from the Porsche Museum tour can hit you up with his contact details... They are great buddies too.
What a great topic. This question always confronts buyers thinking about the Weissach package
Old farmer trick here: keep a belt buckle in your glovebox so when you cant use your normal seatbelt you have something to put in the buckle to stop the annoying noise
Damn James - I didn’t know you could steer like that.
Boy was hauling whilst having a chat.
Great video, legend of a car, what is the total weight savings between the rims and exhaust? Curious..
That dinging noise was so annoying I
It was! I’ll get a clip next time - just unbelted because of HANS device
The fella can drive... I was bricking it just watching.
went from 12kg to under 8kg in my car and never thought you could feel it, but turns out i was wrong.
Great video ! Shouldn't you reset the supsension too with the lighter wheels to have a chassis completly set up ?
So what’s the difference in weight between 3RS mags and IPE mag wheels ?
I’m a bit conservative when it comes to a paint scheme, and love the color of your car!
That seatbelt chime warning ...... unwatchable nearly
The government should MANDATE all cars must sound like this… climate BE DAMNED!!! 🇺🇸🐐💨💩
Love
Man will you please let Misha Charoudin do a hot lap of your GT3.
Put your passenger seattbelt on... Ding ding ding ding.
Why aren't you fitting the Manthey kít with their wheels?
Just get a manthey package on it with their mags.
Can't wait to see Yaris ripping through lol
Can not hear any sound difference 🤷♀
Do the IPE have the same width and offset ?
Absolutely love this car and sound.
