Seeing as we're all into fast cars, here's some pics of the GT3R on its first win;

Refuel less, drive longer: That’s the recipe for success of the further developed 911 GT3 R Hybrid: Richard Lietz, Marco Holzer and Patrick Long clinched the first victory for the hybrid racer from Weissach.

nice. love the 'ring. every pic I see makes me wish I was back there driving it right now.... :( soon. :)

wonder what the hybrid sounds like? I'm guessing same as every other GT3 (ie good)?

from about the 1:00 mark some incar sounds much like a cup car, well it is basically a cup car with two electric motors in the front hubs and a big kinetic flywheel in the passenger side.

Mint. A hybrid I could actually like :)

I know it says hybrid on the hips, but unless Porsche has changed the cooling design for the battery packs then the pics are simply of another GT3R, non hybrid one - GT3R-Hybrid has the cooling slits, in attached pic marked in red.

It might refuel less but the rules forced a certain refueling time. This greatly benefits cars that use less fuel. If they had F1 styled pit-stop refueling, I would exact an entirely different race.

2mins 20seconds is a huge amount of time to refuel.

"To equalize all of the different cars and fuel capacities, everyone took about 2 minutes 20 seconds to fill the car up with fuel. This gave us plenty of time to get the tire changes done and do any necessary cleaning or work on the car before we could go back on track."

Lol, cool car, new it was too good to be true, just like how the major endurance races can't be one in a petrol car, or how front wheel drives in most categories are given performance breaks.

What exactly do you mean?

Overall they use less fuel, meaning less fuel stops - the actual stops were regulated to 2mins 20seconds or so. So if they do even 2 extra laps between refuelling than the other teams can manage thats a big advantage given they will be stopped for the same time as the others, they just stop less times.

But with forced pit times we can never know how much it really helped. Long pit times only hurt petrol based vehicles, it is clear they are trying to encourage other types of vehicles.

It affects the amount of fuel a vehicle has to carry, reducing its lap times. Completely changes pit stop strategy with tyre changes and repairs.

That car overtook me on the Ring right on the entry to Carousel when I was there on a track day in 2009. Went through bottomed out the whole time. Sparks were a flyin. Needless to say it was quickly gone.

Exactly, competition is the best way to develop a technology so if they are really keen in developing this technology as something other then a PR stunt then it would be better to enter it into a series which is a straight fight.

That quickly sorts out what is worthwhile and what isn't :thumbsup:

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
