It's the first time for me that I use the GT3 on the track

I'm not sure if you want to be your own passenger?

No!

That is still innocuous!

Before I throw up, I'll let you know

that's good

I'm doing the intro for today, because Sophia is eating, like constantly eating...

That's so rude

I can't talk while eating, let's do the intro again

okay!

Hi guys and welcome from Meppen

I'm at the racepark today and this is

racetrack which is not very long

but it's very tricky, because it has lots of corners

I was invited by the Fast-Club to join the trackday

some cars are already driving as you can hear

And I thought that

I bring both cars here

There is no better place for testing and comparing both cars

I already did some laps with an instructor to learn the track

I will start with the...

GT3

I will have some laps with that car

after that I will drive the R8

and then I can explain the differences of the both cars

and which car is better for the track

Okay, let's go!

Next to me is Patrick

Hello!

and Patrick is... well, what are you actually doing here?

I'm a race instructor

coaching for each individual participant

I show them the track and how to drive the perfect racing line

How to drive on a track, where to brake, when to steer

so you are a professional

something like that, yes

but I bet you have more race experience than I have

Well... I don't know, we will see when we are on the track

Exactly! And I thought that Patrick can evaluate my driving

and how the car performs

you have probably lots of experience in this car

yes, like the entire day so far

and now we have somebody who can better determine the differences between the R8 and GT3

Exactly!

Let's go!

Are you ready?

Yes I am, let's go!

yes you are still ready

what do you mean by "still ready"?

for now you can show thumbs up

of course!

the car is already warm

perfect!

I'm doing a warm-up lap first

yes

this corner is tricky

yes but you did it well

that was perfect

you can say what you want if I did a mistake

for now there is nothing to complain about

I like to hear that

very good!

I have a plug for the seatbelt somewhere here

I need that otherwise the car beeps all the time

well that is difficult, but... yes I found it

great, thank you!

now I can focus on driving

very nice!

perfect!

Aren't you afraid of being a passenger of somebody you don't know?

No!

that was loud and clear

at this point you need to stay on the right

push it now!

just like that!

I can feel my arms

yes!

nice driving close to the wall

and back down

wow

outstanding!

I'm very keen!

My arms feel stiff already

how come? You look so relaxed?!

you look like being on Holidays

If I look that relaxed I bet I can act that real good

because I'm everything but relaxed right now

yes here you have to... like that

steer a bit earlier, yes, like that

that was nice

very good

just a short note: this is a training for driving safety

it is not about fast laps

yes, exactly. We also have to attend road signs

It maybe looks faster than it really is

there are also speed cameras

exactly!

this is just a regular...

well

slowly course

slow for you, yes

it is really challenging what you do here. Very good!

I have to say that this is the very first time that I took the GT3 on a track

considering that, you are doing awesome

and I really feel how great this car actually is

especially with the semi-slicks

yes

the car is so great, it also forgives you small mistakes

there is actually no better car for racing than that

yes, but we will also try the R8 in a minute and see how this car is like

exactly! Porsche GT3 vs. Audi R8 RWS

Rear wheel drive

Just like this car!

yes, just like this car!

best comparison! Let's see which car is doing better

I already have aching muscles, I guess we will

change the car now

Yes, I need a short brake and change the car

what's your conclusion so far?

I mean, you know the GT3 already but what's your opinion?

I am overwhelmed by this car and there is actually nothing better than this on the racetrack!

I mean you feel it by yourself how easy it is to handle that car

well, easy is not the correct word

if I was stronger maybe

of course it is exhausting but it forgives you small mistakes

and it is a reliable car for these purposes

so

back again

we survived

but you were so relaxed?!

I didn't expected that°

Awesome!

I can't believe you are so relaxed

I have to!

especially when you drive with strangers where you don't know how they drive

you are sitting like in a theater watching a movie

yes

that is so tough

you have to discard the fear

Did she perform well?

yes, she did really well!

okay, I promised you 10€ for saying that!

She really knows what she is doing

okay

did you bribe him?

and when you have such a reliable vehicle...

it smells really bad now

why don't you take a shower Sophia?

now we make the instant comparison

yes

The R8 RWS does not come on semi-slick tires

we have the Pirelli P-Zero on the RWS

that means, we basically know

that the car will not stick as good on the road as the GT3

by the way: thank you very much Fast-Club

plug!

now let's start right?!

Yes, let's go!

Okay, we switched to the R8 now

Exactly, one of 999 cars

yes

The seats are totally different now

I didn't choose the bucket seats for this car

very comfortable and valuable

nice car!

it's not that perfect for the track but..

anyway, let's try it

yes let's do it

nice!

my seat feels elevated, that is so weird

when you sat in the GT3 before

okay, but it looks pretty comfortable so far

oh dear, nice!

that popping exhaust!

yes it has a very nice sound

I let him overtake, this car is still not warm anyway

it feels different to drive this car right?

yes it feels definately different

is it more comfortable or easier for you?

or is it more difficult?

I feel that the handling is easier in this one

because you don't feel the ground as good as in the GT3

in the GT3 you really have to grab the steering wheel properly

you don't have that on this car. You can drive in next if you want

oh great, yes please!

this car really feels more like a daily driver

yes

but I have to say..

it's more for the daily use

I actually need a comparison with the same tires

we don't have that in this case

no, you are right

now make some noise at the wall

slowly going right

exactly!

just like that!

Outstanding!

very nice!

I like this track, because there are many corners

yes!

are we alone again?

no

what's going on here?

I bet they are all afraid driving next to me

nicely driven line

same here

you have a very nice feeling for the car. I feel very safe

what are the differences that you notice in comparison to the GT3?

the first difference that I spotted is, that the GT3 provides more racetrack-feelings

tires, brakes and all that are different of course in comparison to a more road focused car like this one

but the R8 is still a supercar too of course

there is a bit more understandment involved

the Porsche has a more aggressive look of course

so that makes the difference

Yes, especially...

it's not that hardcore like

the R8 has more HP but I think that the Porsche ist faster in corners

yes, yes!

If you like you can drive it next

yes we can drive one last lap

But I'm scared as a passenger driver

I will not push it to the limit, I promise!

But the way you rush on that racetrack here... I'm not sure if you want to be your own passenger?

no!

the car helped me here, did you see that?

yes, now we can drive a lap again

oh yes, here is the exit

I almost missed the exit

okay we pointed out that there are no slicks on this car

you probably know best how to handle this car

yes, sometimes I drive these cars by myself

but no worries we can do that nice and easy

okay

don't be afraid that I crash your car

I don't worry about the car, I worry about me

oh okay, I will leave all systems on!

I will let the pro drive now

I feel so warm, I really have to take a break

if you make a mistake you can sell your house buddy!

I don't car!

You only live once! #YOLO!

I promised that I leave all systems turned on

yes, that's better for you

say bye to your woman!

okay, bye woman!

if you don't come back, Claus and I still have the GT3!

exactly!

bye!

are we still live on camera?

we are still live, yes

oh dear, now I have to behave

well this car is actually pretty good too as you can see

That is still innocuous!

Listen! You drove faster than I!

No I didn't!

Yes, you did!

full throttle, close to the wall!

Don't worry!

weather is nice and the sun is shining

yes, that were the curbs

and this bottle...

Before I have to throw up, I'll let you know

that's good!

then you can pull over

okay

you can feel that the car gets wild a bit

it gets faster and faster

really charged!

your hair tells me that this is not nice

My hair doesn't matter but the color of my face is more important

Perfect! Perfect!

greetings to your son!

he would probably...

what's his name?

Justin

Hello Justin!

your Dad drives very crazy

The R8 RWS is his favourite car

if he was here he would be

I feel a bit warm now

yes...

that was definately enforcing my bloodstream

if you want that as well go to a track and be a passenger in a racecar!

thank you very much, it was a lot of fun!

I'm really sweating

okay, short conclusion?

which car is better for the track?

the better track tool in this case

Unfortunately I have to let the Porsche win

why unfortunately? This would be my decision too

on the racetrack I prefer the Porsche

the feeling is way better in that car

The R8 is a great car, but it is more the allrounder

that you can drive in all situations

both are great cars!

for the track, the winner is the GT3

yes, here it is!

Okay, that's it for today

I'm so exhausted and my arms feel stiff

that happens when you drive the entire day on a racetrack

It was so much fun!

It was a very nice experience, especially when you want to learn more about your car

I can really recommend such a training

it's not about fast laps, it's not about speed, it is all about improving your driving skills

I was really able to compare both cars properly

for my driving level

and there is really a difference between both cars

Thank you very much for the "Fast-Club" and the nice event
