  • GT racing for a budding sportscar and endurance racing fan can be pretty confusing. What's the difference between GT3 and GT4 for instance? And what is GTE and GTLM? What is GT1? It seems that there are an endless number of classes filled with Audis, Mclarens, Porsches and Ferraris and it's a lot to get your head around. So here's your ultimate guide to the world of GT racing.

    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!

    GTE/ GTLM is the best form of GT racing. I watched both that and GT1, but GTE eventually evolved to matching GT1 in its sunset days. That being said, GT3 should not be replacing both the class one in DTM and GTE in IMSA. GT3 should be customer only with so many restrictions or aid

    I would like to add, that the DTM has another great series going up against it called GT Masters. Lots of big Pro driver names compete or competed in it. 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.

    I'm late to this video, but I have to give high praise for it. Your narrating style and speech are excellent! In a sea of upspeak and "youtube guy voice", you stand out with tone variation and great modulation. Also, your writing is similar to Top Gear, especially the "GT1 no longer exists and is irrelevant... so we're off to a good start." I could hear Jeremy Clarkson saying it during one of his segments. 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
      @pmayo7894 Před 2 lety +2

      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
      @skaldlouiscyphre2453 Před rokem

      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.

    I’d like to see a class meant for the real extreme racing super cars like the Pagani Zonda R, Huayra R, Ferrari FXX K, etc. also a class for the world’s fastest hypercars like Koenigseggs, Bugattis, etc

    before i thought you were supposed to go from gt4 to gt3 to gt2 and then gt1 which is the top class
    now my head hurts
    but thank you for the clarification

    Pretty good guide! though I think you also should've mentioned that there is the curren GT1 sports club event (though they're not doing any actual races so I can see why they're not here)
    also 7:36 it's the BT63, not the BT62

    • @triplecrownracing
      @triplecrownracing  Před 2 lety +4

      Ah rats. Yeah you're right about the BT63. I've gotta get someone to double check these scripts. Thanks for tuning in though. Hope you enjoyed.

      @@triplecrownracing well next time you got a script that has to do with GT/endurance racing, I can help you with that, kind of my specialty.

    Let me get this straight:
    GT1 - basically dead
    GT2 - aka LMGT, will also be phased out later
    GT3 - professional stuff with aero
    GT4 - spiritual successor to GT1

    I think this is a good overview, but I wished you also covered Trans Am racing as it's an American semi-pro gt racing series with multiple classes.

  • @Baukevandijk
    @Baukevandijk Před 2 lety +2

    If it were up to me i'd scrap all GT classes apart from GT4 GT3 and a revised GT2 where the cars are actually faster than GT3. I would also restrict GT4 to using road type semi slicks only so that they powerslide a bit more. Drivers would rise from GT4 to GT2 the same way formula works.

    I wish there is a unified and global GT3 category and race like Formula 1 - may be FIA GT3 world championship equivalent to SBK in bike world

  • @FlashoftheBlades
    @FlashoftheBlades Před 8 měsíci

    Not mentioned in here, but GT2 was also the name of the class that competed alongside the original GT1, before becoming GTS and then GT1 MK 2. The original GT3 category became GT in Le Mans-style series before becoming GT2 MK 2, then GTE/GTLM.

    Thanks for the video, but wouldn't mind seeing a visual of the gt branches.
    Like an evolution chart with lines going everywhere it branches off.
    Also saying it's a few seconds shorter doesn't really say much to me perhaps saying some top speeds of the different categories would have been helpful

    • @triplecrownracing
      @triplecrownracing  Před 2 lety +3

      I'm glad you enjoyed it. I should explain that most publications will use lap times when pointing out the differences in performance between these classes as top speed is quite often meaningless in circuit racing. Lap time is therefore the best speed indicator. It should also be noted that even GT cars in the same class have different top speeds which will also most likely vary due to balance of performance. Anyway, I hope this video was helpful. Thanks for tuning in!

    Whooa no wonder.., for this whole time i thought the smaller the number the higher the tier (well it used to be but not now hahah). So it's more less like a rally group. Group A isn't necessarily higher tier than group B, then group N and bla bla. Thx for the elaboration!!

    • @triplecrownracing
      @triplecrownracing  Před 2 lety +1

      I mean, generally speaking, it was lower the number the higher the tier up until GT2 was reintroduced. GT500 was kind of its own class. Yeah, this whole thing got really confusing. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of classes just get slashed eventually and we end up with an easier to understand hierarchy. But until that day comes, here ya go. Thanks for tuning in!

  • @skullft7731
    @skullft7731 Před rokem

    Very detailed video 👍 couple of things though:
    Porsche recently said that their 911 RSR 19 has won its last ever Le Mans 24hrs so that must mean that for some reason they’re deciding not to take part in the final year of GTE? (2023) maybe it’s because their attention will be turned to their LMDH
    Also I would love if you could do a similar video to this but covering things like Group C, LMP1, LMP2 and DPi cars (basically the top level of endurance racing) and what has come before an after these classes. 😁

    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.

  • @Traumglanz
    @Traumglanz Před 11 měsíci

    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.

  • @DRYT0ast2424
    @DRYT0ast2424 Před rokem

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