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:

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
