FIA GT Qualifying lap at Monza, Porsche 997 RSR

[leylandcarsloverslea]

0:43 kerbs are really bumpy...

[betsiej]

first time im seeing this, really smooth throe Parabolica!

[Michaelingolfhansen]

Great!

Good driver, and cool car with amazing sound!!!

WTCC cars almost stand still compared to this!...even the slower less high-tech Porsche "Cup cars" blow WTCC away! he Porsche Cup series should, and FIA GT3 should be much more popular!

[carlcowkau]

[netdriller]

well done Sean.saw you in Bucharest, too bad about the crash. it looks like we'll race together in rF-PCC.

Greets, Eon.

[seanedwards000]

Thanks, yes it was a shame :(

You racing in the F1RST league?

[AJSBoxer12]

Very nice driving. That Porsche's flat-six sounds brilliant, particularly at maximum RPM. Which gear ratios does this race car have, as it sounds like there is a rather big gap between 4th and 5th gears.

[seanedwards000]

Long ratios for Monza, as there are long straight and also slow speed corners, hard to get the right ratios for there.

[eltotoX]

Indeed, although I can hardly call myself an amateur at sim racing, I've found that the ratios in monza are tricky to get right.

Also, I LOVE the sound of that turbo (or are they twin turbos?).

[Lukus04]

Actually, that noise is the gearbox :)

Nice driving Sean!

[doseofjimbob]

@Lukus04 transmission



[chipattack911]

yea, its the gearbox. when you have a straight shift gearbox it whines a lot

[AccordGTR]

Great job and congratulations!

[seanedwards000]

Thanks

[Spyker88]

Nice lap. I find it ironic That your race number is #99 and there is a Nascar driver with the same last name,whos race number is also #99.

[seanedwards000]

Nice hehe

[xxwhatevahxx]

What was the Lap Time? It looks like 1.48?WOW... That racing game simulator GTR 2 is really a COPY of FIA GT reality. I can do a 1.47 in the game tho... :P

[seanedwards000]

Don't remember, look at my website in results for a PDF of the times.

[jsmooth5atl]

Nice driving and man that flat-6 sounds good. Glad to see the 997s are winning. It took a while for the drivers to adjust from the 996 to the 997. Go beat those F430s...

[seanedwards000]

We are good over long distances, but in 2 hour races they kill us.

[wilchaka]

Nice drivin man. I'm a Porsche guy myself and I can't stand this F430 B.S. How much faster will 1 year of development be for the 997. Please tell me it's enuff to beat those Ferraris.

[seanedwards000]

I really hope so, but not convinced yet.

[zytekfan]

Does the 997 require using the clutch on downshifts like the 996 did?

[Spunkey1982]

IIRC the only racing 996 that used a clutch was the GT3 Cup. The 996 & 997 RSR has a sequential box.

[zytekfan]

Porsche advised all drivers to use the clutch on downshifts with the 996. That's why the revs went way up on downshifts.

[seanedwards000]

The 996 and 997 cup's and RSR's all need the clutch on the down shift, but not on the up shift and it's also flat shift on the way up.

[ccuebas19]

Awesome lap, Sean... and congrats on the 3rd @ Spa!

[seanedwards000]

Thanks!

[zytekfan]

Nice lap mate!

[seanedwards000]
