You will notice the front end bobbing up and down in the senna. Which means he isnt compressing the lateral g enough to keep the car committed. Hes an older driver now. His era knows that such bobbing can set the car off in the opposite direction with one wrong flick or correction. He fears the car more than the gt3. As he mentions. The nose comes up with acceleration. Which is an old racing technique called throttle steering. It takes great skill to master throttle steering. Which im surprised he is afraid of here since her drifts so much. But the nose coming up allows the driver to attack the turn and throw it into the turn. You dont see harris attacking the turn in such a methodology. You brake late till the car catches, but you have to balance the throttle to keep the nose up, requiring left foot braking, and when the apex is met you can pivot the rear and nose to sort of cut the apex short mid lateral complex. This uses the hp more efficiently rather than average mph of an apex. Hes trying to compare the two cars with similar techniques. Which doesnt offer comparable lap times. Instead offer comparable techniques for each car. The senna needs a specific driving style to get the most out of it. But from what i saw, would only take off about 4 seconds. Each turn he misses the bobbing of the nose is about .25 of a second in a lap time. The car needs to be set in and then accelerated through properly. Doing so can gain .5 seconds to even 2 seconds if the car has alot of horsepower. So the less time you spend turning the better

But you're right, i'd love to see that.

Awesome video - would have loved seeing the times with slicks on the senna as well.

No matter how insane you engineer a car, nothing beats the gains you get from fitting a set of racing slicks. Nothing. Clearly the GT3 is still in another category in the corners, even if the Senna's HP beats it on the straights. If the GT3 had 800 HP, it would be game over. I mean they casually do 6:20s at race pace, at night on the Nurburgring on the old track part. And all Mclarens for some reason are handicapped by their front tires, even the P1. Come on, even Ferrari puts 265s on similar HP cars. That Senna looks sexy in black though. It's just from the side where it feels a bit out of proportion. I was actually surprised to know that for all the effort into making the strongest brakes on a production car, the GT3s brakes are still better (at least on track).

Chris Harris is different gravy

Best car journalist out, not many of them breaking down the actual nitty gritty ins and outs of a car while pedaling it to the limit!! 🤘

The 911 GT2 (at least the way most people use the term) isn't actually a GT2 category race car, it's just a very very fast sports car. No, the 911 GT2 RS wouldn't compete at all with an actual GT3 racer, let alone a GT2 racer. Vs. the Senna is a fairer comparison (though as others have said, it probably doesn't win there either).

When you start comparing fast road cars unironically to top-shelf racing machines, you can find fault in any car. Turns out the Senna needs 255+ front tires

Chris Makes a very interesting point about it understreering as it has a 245 front. I dont understand car makers obsession with using a 245 at the front on a performance car. It's such a skinny amount of rubber. Theres a reason Porsche and AMG went 265 for their performance track cars and the lap times show for it. I suppose also theres a reason why the GT3 cars have like 295-305 fronts. Never understood why the fronts are always so small.

​@@Briggsian No I think it has to do with the electronic axle trickery. The race cars use 275, 335 in the same structure. McLaren claim there is some front / rear electrical balance, and combined with the electro-hydro steering, I'd bet it's limited as to what it can actually deal with, to balance front and rear grip. Think of it like Porsche rear steer, but without the rears ACTUALLY steering, but the ECU calculating the split between F and R and adjusting accordingly. Very typical McLaren trickery. And also why the race cars, with all electric trickeries banned, can just use full proper width sizes for mechanical grip. I think the Valkryie has a genuine half a chance of being as quick as its claims, because it basically IS an F1 car with guards by design. This thing is just a souped up P1. And a P1 GTR would absolutely slaughter it, let alone an off the shelf GT3 Macca.

It is not meant to be equal. The Senna is a road car, and McLaren says that it's as fast as a GT3 car...it just doesn't.

no matter how strong the brakes are，braking force has to go through tires，especially front tires. those 245 front trofeo rs are huge limit,low mechanical grip means low speed，low speed means less downforce，less downforce means less grip，less grip means less speed，less speed means less downforce，it is just a terrible loop for high downforce cars.

Don't think anyone can say you weren't pushing that Senna either... you could hear the front washing and see the walk as it gripped and the stepped in. Nice bit of driving, very enjoyable watching you as always!
