This guy can drive
At first didn’t know it was him
Flying around while narrating can't be easy.
Big Balls James should be his new name… Impressive Mate
Not wrong.. wish he had the same camera angles as misha
James was flying. He really can drive.
As a cyclist, it's well known that wheels and rotational weight makes a huge difference in how quickly bikes accelerate, decelerate, turn in, etc. The lighter weight is exponentially more important when it's on a rotating wheel than on the rest of the bike/car.
Angular momentum is determined by the moment of inertia, which is quadratic for wheels
True, although the very large diameter of bicycle wheels and the greater proportion of the overall weight of a bicycle that the wheels contribute (compared to a car) mean the impact of lighter wheels on a bicycle will be hugely more significant.
@@pjay3028interesting remark!
Colin Chapman quote: Adding power makes you faster on the straights.
Subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere.
It so nice to see a youtuber really explaining how it feels and the camera position is brillant!
Without a doubt your content has continued to get better and better over the years!
True!!! james i didn't know you were a almost pro race driver too!!!
this content is amazing thanks so much!!!
I once swapped out the standard mags on my 2013 Audi S4 for some Advan racing RS2's and the weight difference was 12.6kg to 8.1 kg i.e. 4.5kg saved per wheel. It was quite noticeable in acceleration, braking and turn in.
For those of us on the “other side of the pond” who likely will never get to experience the ‘Ring, it’s fantastic to live it through these videos. Would LOVE to be behind the wheel of the GT3RS. Heck, I’d love to be in the passenger seat to experience that. My time in a NASCAR and taking my GTI to the local track only whets the appetite for more track experiences. Great video, James.
First of all James, im really really happy for you to be able to experiance such things and how everything developped. Remembering the moment on the airfield when u asked if you should make your own channel into the cam of Sam I believe it was, its just great to have followed some of your journey, not all of it. But coming now back to your videos is just wow! Priviledge to see this content and your doing such a phenomenal job of transporting your experiance to the viewer.
I believe you when your saying that you recognize the difference - I would not believe many people such a comment...
Thank you!! And hopefully you have had the chance of getting to know the German pendant of you already? JP from JP Performance? You both would be so perfect together and would fit for a meetup between buddies - not just on youtube, but on personal levels I think. Ben from the Porsche Museum tour can hit you up with his contact details... They are great buddies too.
Brilliant video James... Stunning view through the windscreen while driving. Commentary on point as well. From Portland, Oregon USA
The viewing angle is Amaaaaazzzziiiing 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow what a car.
Yourself, Shmee and Misha need to have a race around the ring.
That would be so epic.
😎😎😎👍👍👍
Why are u even putting shmee even on that list? James and misha will absolutely annihilate tim. I mean i love tim but he comes no where near the level of james
Can there really be a better drivers car, maybe but it’s unlikely to be road legal or so usable! Fantastic insight James, thank you, most enjoyable! 👍👏😀
This was an interesting drive!

Honestly the POV views, the pace, the intesity of the Nurburgring, and the quality of your content, all of it adds up to some of the best content on CZcams!
Amazing video as always! The way you stepped up in your video’s as well as your driving is astonishing! Thanks for the amazing video!
I had no idea Mr JWW is such a good driver, I've only seen videos chatting about nice cars. Well done!
He used to race ages ago
@@A26638gahxb Yeah he did quite well in some amateur races he did
@@A26638gahxbhe was in a race series maybe 2 years ago? In a Praga.
Yes Praga and Catherim before that
New respect for Mr JWW. I had no idea James was so skilled at track day driving. After watching the channel off and on for years I appreciated his personality and the production value of his videos. Turns out he really is a driver.
I mean, he had a season in a race series in a Praga, so I'd hope he's decent.
@@LiqdPT Wasn't it a Caterham?
@@Speednote10 I think that was before the Praga.
@@Speednote10 the Praga was in 2021 Britcar Endurance Championship
@@Speednote10 and he was in the 2020 Caterham academy series.
The exhaust couldn't be more spot on!
Big respect for driving and talking at the same time! Next level!😮
I loved this informative comparison.
You sir are the best driver on CZcams
James, you are impeccable with driving at high speed and talking at the same time. Thx for sharing for sharing your joyous moments. Aloha from Hawaii 😊
Absolutely love this car and sound.
you are a seriously good driver JWW top man
Love this content! I have been doing comparisons like this with my 997 GT3RS and found out that just swapping the wheels is not enough. The suspension has to match the lighter weight, where it didn't do so well with my 997 stock shocks with mag wheels. It was too light on its feet its bouncing around too much and can't put the power down. Realized you need new suspension and tire pressures to match.
Heck yeah! All the GT3 content please!
Great content and video. I’ve done similar on my Cayman moving from 19” stock wheels and tyres to lighter 18” track wheels and Trofeo Rs’. Definitively agree better braking corners speed and acceleration. The con is once the heavier wheels gain momentum and your on the throttle it’s kind of smootherAlso Porsches pull well in the upper revs.
Superb & tremendous driving skills. Awesome mate
Excellent content! 😍😍
Lightweight wheels, or even lighter than stock wheels make a big difference. I won't mention my cheap car but I got some -4lbs per corner wheels recently. After a month, I am getting 1.6 mpg more! It definitely feels like its gained some hp too! The hp may be placebo but the mpg increase definitely isn't!
love the pov of the camera 😃 you use a widelense i presume? would be fun to have camera on speedometer to see how fast you are going because you are definitely fast 😁
Mr JWW Absolutely Incredible Video I'm so glad you had a great time driving your Absolutely Gorgeous 992 911 GT3 with it new track setup on the Nurburgring Nordschleife that Ipe exhaust sounds absolutely incredible at full trottle and for the people that aren't Subscribers of JWW Uncut what are you doing the content on that channel is absolutey incredible because its raw and uncut bts that you won't see on this Channel
Simply great content yet again and in good quality. Very fast
What a video! This angle of the camera is the best angle 👏🏼👏🏼
Very nice ride :-)
The lap with the new wheels and tyres was wild ! i was watching with adrealine 😆
Love this content James
James this is your best content. Cars going fast. More of this please.. plus bring back modern classic series please👍🏻
Slick channel,most enjoyable,well done.
Awesome video and content👍🏼
Thanks!
such a satisfying run....
@MrJWW Nice comparison, any unsprung weight that’s taken off is a plus!
To make life easier, look into the HYTORC LION gun for the center lock wheels, won’t have to deal with the breaker bar or torque wrench and can swap out wheels by yourself.
I don't care for an up-shift sound ... it's the down-shift sound that I love ❤️
Excellent down-shift sound, Sir 😬👍🏻
Great video. I was aware of the weight saving per corner/ wheel with the PCCB ceramic brakes and had seen magnesium alloy wheels on the McLaren F1 with Gordon Murray. I don’t understand what ‘unsprung mass’ is with reference to weight saving. It must add to the momentum to overcome m.v (mass Kg x velocity m/s ) when accelerating the wheels, but having more mass must help with high speed cruising on a motorway.
Amazing driving and people always underestimate the difference in rotational weight savings till they feel it.
We need JWW + Micha at Nurburgring!!
Smooth on the steering, says alot and its all good.
Quality Mr James, GT3 sen-say-tion-all...
Very cool rollers at the end, exhaust makes it sound quite different to a bog standard car.
Magnificent!
Amazing
Damn James - I didn’t know you could steer like that.
Boy was hauling whilst having a chat.
Every pound of saved weight on wheels makes a great difference! By the way JWW did a great Nurburgring pass! Great timing on braking and acceleration when coming out of the corner !
It's not just direction change and braking that is improved by lowering the unsprung weight. Acceleration benefits too.
About a decade ago we did a test with G-Power, the German BMW specialist tuner in Bavaria, to see if lowering the unsprug weight with their forged alloys made a difference to acceleration to speed. With a saving of about 3kg per corner we measured a consistent 0.1 sec improvement in the 0-100mph time with digital test equipment. The explanation for this is that the available power does not have to rotate as much wheel mass off the line and through the speed range.
As Colin Chapman famously said, "For speed add lightness!"
I have to say this hands down Man (JAMES) you got some BA*LS to send that GT3 as hard as you did WOW,,, i have too i seriously have to get a GT3 back in my life again from that video i can feel the passion i an missing yet again for a GT3.. i was think of that exhaust Dave got on his from DDE but your sounds on the sweet spot the sound is there but not in your face loud... i an truly Loving the videos on both channels congarts to you and your team
Great lap James, I make it around 7 mins Bridge to Gantry! keep up the stellar content!!
Nurburgring content, always +1
Just love the colour of this Porsche. Signal Yellow looks so different on the configurator.
Nice James ….I just bought a set of the HRE carbon wheels for my new 992 TurboS ….See you at The Quail …
The fella can drive... I was bricking it just watching.
I wish we could see time and speed on the screen. Keep up the amazing work
that GT3 is a monster
what was that dinging noise and how was it not driving you nuts?!
Seat belt, because of the 4 point harnas
@@Alexander-bk1se I couldn't put up with that!
OK, I thought perhaps it’s that, so you can buy dummy seatbelt things that stop that for like $.99 lol
Sub 7 minute lap. HECTIC.
Was thinking the same. No mean feat.
That POV Mannnnnn
I just got a set of 19" Litespeed forged magnesium wheels to replace the OEM Rays forged aluminum wheels on my 370Z. The weight savings per corner will be about 9 lbs and I'm eager to see how it feels after I get them installed.
Those mag wheels look so nice
Tune it
Nothing cheap about this hobby! 🤑💛💰💸💵
Good driving Jim. 👍🏾
Great video, legend of a car, what is the total weight savings between the rims and exhaust? Curious..
The uncut channel is awesome. Just be careful of the salmon in California wine country IYKYK 😂😂😂😂
Schoolboy error, forgot to plug in your seatbelt before harnessing up 😂😂😂. Nice driving James!
Did I hear it bottom out on the light weight wheels ?? Fantastic video
Love
Hey bro, that Porsche is one the smoothest I’ve noticed round the ring, that’s somet special that
What a great topic. This question always confronts buyers thinking about the Weissach package
I used to be a mountainbike racer. Minute changes to the bike, such as weight savings in the wheels, were very strongely felt. Getting this changes to express on the stopwatch was basically impossible, and dong the math, it would all become apparent. Weight loss in wheels FEELS a lot different, but it doesn't actually make you a lot faster You're feeling the wheels, but still need to bring along all the other kilos in rider and bike. If the car really feels better, it's a cool upgrade. If laptime matters, I guess math can work out how much the wheels will help. To measure, you need a whole bunch of free laps with a pro driver.
That seatbelt chime 😬! Otherwise great stuff 👏
God that’s so sick. Being able to put a brand new set of SC2s on your GT3 and go rip
Great video ! Shouldn't you reset the supsension too with the lighter wheels to have a chassis completly set up ?
Entertaining videos as usual! Where do you place the helmet camera exactly during this recording? Thanks in advance.
"And if you don't OVER-drive them, they'll last for DAYS!!"
Now THAT seems to be the most perfect example of "damning by faint praise", as I ever heard!!
Can't wait to see Yaris ripping through lol
Great car and laps. Biggest difference would be the Manthey suspension upgrade i think. Thanks for the feedback and input! Looks like you had loads of fun!! ;-)
It would be! Getting to the point of upgrading to a GT3 RS then though 😉
@@MrJWW of course the RS collection video should be imminent...
Hi. I have a question. Did you also do a special tuning of the shock absorbers for this modification because the unsprung mass has changed?. Thanks for the information and best regards
It should be obvious when you think about it that light weight wheels are going to improve performance in virtually every aspect. People focus way too much on this unsprung mass thing though, as your man said, its rotational mass that is really affected and that makes the difference in what you are feeling. Do this small experiment. Take a wheel, not a car wheel but a childrens bike wheel or similar, and just hold it on a spindle and change it's direction as if you're steering it. Now get someone to spin the wheel and do the same thing. You will feel the difference. And that wheel will be spinning at about 10mph, very slowly in comparison to a cars wheel. It'll soon put the whole thing into perspective. Essentially rotating mass s stored energy, just like a fly wheel, and any change to that energy, be it braking or a change of direction, takes more effort. Reduce the mass, reduce the energy, reduce the amount of required effort. Pretty simple :)
I’m a bit conservative when it comes to a paint scheme, and love the color of your car!
Nice driving, sir.
Point well made.
Less is more!
Just one thing:
Porsche at Nurburgring
NOT
Ferrari at Mugello
Auf Wiedersehn
NOT
Ciao
😉
dash cam or track telemetry cam for these roadtrips.
Nice driving skill! 🔥 Hope you enjoyed our super light-weight Magnesium wheels on your GT3 🚀🚀
Can you talk about the manthey racing brake pads ? Is it better ?
Definitely better!
Awesome contend James! Love it! 🫡
So you fit lighter wheels on your GT3, but also heavier Integrale wheels on your Yaris specificaly for the Nürburgring. Are the the standard OEM Yaris wheels not suitable for the Ring?
Wait for the Yaris Ring video - I ride curbs a lot differently to the GT3!
How good does that car look hauling ass around the ring? Nice driving Mr. JWW
it's said that rotational weight is ~8x of improved impact compared to other types of weight savings in terms of performance on a vehicle. They are just so (wait for it...) bloody expensive. :)
Any chance you'd discuss lap times? I assume you could get a segment time comparison???
Wondering what camera you use on your helmet for the onboard. Looks amazing!
insta360
Old farmer trick here: keep a belt buckle in your glovebox so when you cant use your normal seatbelt you have something to put in the buckle to stop the annoying noise
I think I may agree with you. $30 ,000is a lot of dosh, maybe the patrol warrior for a little more cash
When reducing the unsprung mass, I assume you will have to adjust the suspension to cope if you wan't optimal settings?
Which one is lighter? This IPE Magnesium or Magnesium wheel from Manthey Racing (I believe made by BBS)?
What head camera are you using?
What car is next for a day at the Ring? More please 😃
Do the IPE have the same width and offset ?
I could watch this video over and over again just for the 9000rpm Soundtrack.
