Excellent video - details about different GT regs are quite sparse online, so this is very useful indeed. It’s a shame that there’s so much confusion surrounding GT classes compared to LMPs, since I personally think that they’re substantially more appealing to the average viewer. As GTE/LM begins to die, I hope a more understandable hierarchy gets established in the future.

In my opinion GT3 is an extremely boring class and shouldn’t be drawn into anything. The German DTM got completely screwed up now it’s only another GT3 race. The 90s DTM was peak performance, but after that it at least was it’s own class with it’s own cars. Group C and GT1 was absolutely amazing in my opinion. Those cars where such great examples of excellent engineering, it’s a huge shame there’s nothing like this anymore. Racecars that have to have a few legendary roadgoing equivalents! Those where the days!

@@rolux4853 The reason that all of the regulation sets that you mentioned are no longer around (Old DTM Class 1, modern Class 1 within DTM (Super GT GT500 still uses it), Group C, and both versions of GT1) is the same - cost. Yes, they were amazing in terms of the cars that got produced for them and the engineering that went into them, but it was so expensive for manufacturers to perpetuate those arms races that in all of those cases, they gave up because either 1 team had a clear advantage over the rest that couldn’t be caught up to, or everyone ran out of money around the same time. GT3 and Hypercar/GTP (LMH/LMDh) are incredibly popular regulation sets precisely because elements like BoP and the LMDh spending cap mean that teams can guarantee that they can make a competitive car that won’t break the bank. It may seem boring to those who grew up with the monsters of the past, but if it works and keeps motorsport out of the boom-bust cycles of the past, then I say all the more power to them!

As the DTM switched to the GT3 class there is now a little war for relevance in the german space. 24hrs of the Nürburgring is also a special endurance event with a bigger GT3 line up. This year a couple of GT2 KTMs were present.

Unfortunately, DTM lost all its charm when they started to build cars that have no correlation with their homologated counterpart. The chassis is built from scratch, the engine is different. There was a time where Alfa, BMW and Mercedes built those racecars from the Homologated Chassis and engines. The race used to be animated, full of soul and power. Now it has lost a bit of charm.

On top of the delivery, this video is crammed with information without being too dense. Other car channels could take notes!

The GT500 cars remind me a lot of the American SCCA Trans Am series' TA and TA2 spec cars. Those are also silhouette cars, but they're based on muscle cars and have Chevrolet LS V8 engines. I believe they're mother chassis cars. The series started with race-spec road going muscle cars on road courses, but now they're far different of course.

@pmayo7894

GT500 doesn't use the Mother Chassis, only the GT300 class do. Besides, whereas the MC cars use an unbranded Nissan V8, GT500 mandates only turbo 4-pots made by the manufacturers of the participating cars.

@skaldlouiscyphre2453

Жыл бұрын

Trans-Am doesn't use production engines, they use old spec NASCAR engines. The Mother Chassis is bespoke for Super GT, although Trans-Am would probably try to fit you into a class if you built a car around one. Trans-Am has it's own bespoke chassis, with different rules between TA1 and TA2.

Can you make a video explaining ALL the different GT3 series, I’m confused about GT World challenge vs DTM vs GTD/Pro vs GT3LM ETC. Can a driver only race in one series at a time or can he/she race in 2 or more a year.

The one thing I don't get: How is having less downforce easier? Especially with more power. Seems like you end up slower and with harder and earlier break points and a lot more things to screw up in cornering.

So tl:dr is most classes are slight to major differences to the road going counterpart of a car (I.E. the pink mustang)
