And it's true even outside just NFS logic if you think about it. The CLK is a bespoke European race car that has a homologation road-going version that is basically the definition of 'exotic'. The GT-R may be a bit too high-end as a base car for being called a 'tuner', but it still checks out otherwise, as a Japanese sports car that has been tuned to turn it into a proper race car.

I remember when the Sauber C9 would roar down the Mulsanne, the commentators would refer to its sound as very American. Now that Mercedes has used this sound for quite a while, the American identity is gone which is a shame. I wonder if the new Corvette Z06 can do the reverse of that. Cadillac will return the roar back to Le Mans and it will probably be the last, which is quite poetic since Cadillac invented the crossplane V8. Mostly for luxury reasons and not racing because a crossplane V8 is smoother than a flatplane V8 at the cost of weight. It's basically a halved version of Cadillac's famous V16, for the peasants who can't afford the V16 or the V12.

@ John carl American Cars haven't lost any of their defining identity in fact they've added handling to the American Thunder over the past 20+ years taking the challenge to the rest of the world, now American Cars are the ones to beat when you go to motorsport events.

This mashup reminds me of the touring car races in the '60s and '70s. You had the huge, heavy, but powerful American Mustangs and Camaros with their oversized V8s plummeting down every single straight, and you had the tiny, light and agile Minis which came pouncing right back at them in the corners. Such good racing in that era.

@johncarl5505

Жыл бұрын

That was only in the mid 60s and by the late 60s, the Mustangs became even faster. There was one race where a Mustang BOSS started in last place due to a penalty and finished third. They issued displacement limits soon after, effectively banning any Trans Am cars. Australia didn't though, so Mustangs and Camaros reigned supreme in Bathurst for a while before the oil crisis happened.

I'd always choose a speed car over a handling car when a track has a long main straight. You have that advantage each lap - you only have to get a good exit, clean gear changes and drive in a straight line. Then it's down to skilful driving in the twisty sections to minimise the loss of time. Drivers in handling cars, however, have to nail the corners each and every lap because the time deficit on the straights is something they can do nothing about...

Hey Steve, i found something that might increase your lap times a little, but I can’t do it super consistently, probably cause I’m on controller. Anyway, you don’t actually have to brake for turn 3, if you let off right around the 100 meter board you can manage to stay on track if you apex perfectly (with the Nissan of course)

Really enjoyed this video, because I had once tested the CLK-LM against the GT-R at Big Willow (which has two of those long sweeping right handers) and was really dismayed at how much worse the CLK-LM (a car that I like way more) was than the GT-R. Now I know that the the missing ingredient for the Mercedes to be good was apparently a 1.5km long straight. :D

I like that you don't swear. It has a casual/classy feel to it. Quite entertaining as well.

This is very similar to when I hosted a Gr4 vs GrB event in GT Sport. Both cars had BoP on but it was Racing Soft vs Hard and both cars would do very similar lap times on some tracks. I do like this kind of races and it's nice to see this in GT7 too

we NEED Scott Chegg to do this race with the CLK from the back!

That was a great analysis! I always saw the CLK LM as kind of a hybrid. Personally, I always liked the CLK-GTR with the V12 better for racing games. I saw earlier today that despite the AI for this game making it around tracks faster than the best online racers, it still has a hard time with navigating around regular players. I was playing GT6 earlier and was racing the Dream Car cup. I was in a 1967 Mercury Cougar going around the 24H Nurburgring course. I caught the 1999 BMW LMR on the last lap 3/4 of the way through. The LMR was on my bumper most of the time after that. I got to the end of the longer straight and came up on thst last corkscrew turn. As I did, the LMR pushed me for about 2 seconds straight forward and I slid through the grass right into the wall. There's no way I want to buy another game with AI like that. GT7 doesn't even flag down other players for wrecking the way they did in GT Sport. I bought the newer PlayStation systems every time a new one was needed to play the newest Gran Turismo. I wanted this game so bad before I found out it was almost solely an online game. Once they shut the servers down, that's it. I'm not buying a PS5 for that, and I'm not buying a new steering wheel set for my PS4.

This is like watching Red Bull vs Ferrari on French GP, one is an absolute rocket down the straight, the other one is a stop and go mosnter on low speed corner and sticking so much to the track on high speed

Extraordinarily interesting, this one

Merc is like a seal running from great white sharks through the slower bits.

Happy 44th super GT!

Grip vs power machine. The power machine has the advantage because it overtakes the grip machine in a straight line, where there is minimal opposition. But the power machine can ruin the grip machine's overtaking where the grip machine is strong, in the corners. Compromising the grip machine in a few corners can make the difference between win and loss.

gut gemacht hans joachim ! den hast du es gezeigt

The clk acceleration is crazy! I stick with my GTR for these G2 races and every time I’m fighting a clk in the straights I back off because I’m not winning that, even with the tow. I always saved the fight for the turns, that’s where the GTR shines for me.

Thanks Steve. I enjoyed the video!

No one does it better than SuperGT!

I remember watching Jason Plato driving his N.A. Chevy Cruze against boosted Hondas in the BTCC some years ago... the difference on big straights was usually 5-7mph in favor of the Civics, and it seemed negligent that those cars were deemed equivalent. The difference between the GT-R and the CLK in the video is large enough that they appear like two different classes on the straights.

There seems to be a bug with TC. I've found that if you don't go into warmups it seems to reset your TC to default 3 sometimes. If you go into warmups, you don't actually have to get on the track. You can sit in the pits. But going into warmups seems to acknowledge your TC settings.
