The GT3 has semislicks and ceramic brakes and it's only 0.3 secs faster than a GT car like the Turbo?

Thanks for posting the video.

last commetns from the driver: with the GT3 you can accellerate a lot earlier in the bends and also when driving into the corners, the car behaves better than the turbo.

so in the end the GT3 catches up in the corners and the turbo is just rediculously fast on the straights. if you put a serious race driver behind the wheel (no to say this dude is bad, apparently his best lap time around the nordschleife is 7:15) maybe the results would have been different

they mentioned that the turbo is very hard to drive on the limit, compared to the GT3

I'd have to try them both.

But probably... if I had another GT like the turbo, would chose the GT3
