Analysis

The analysis below uses the Track Titan platform to compare a HYMO reference hotlap to one of the Track Titan community drivers through Segment 6. The data suggests the community driver hits the brakes too early and ends up bleeding off the pressure gently. Instead, the reference hits the brakes harder and later. They miss the apex and run wider slightly but are able to maintain good minimum speed such that the exit speed isn't really compromised. The delta on entry is 0.2s.

Hot Laps Top Tips

Driving rear-wheel drive GT3 cars effectively involves mastering throttle control to manage power delivery and prevent oversteer. These cars typically have strong rear traction but can still be prone to oversteer, especially under hard acceleration. Smooth, progressive acceleration out of corners is key to maintaining traction. Braking should be done in a straight line before corner entry, with smooth transitions into cornering to keep the car balanced. Steering inputs need to be precise, avoiding abrupt movements that could unsettle the car. Developing a feel for how the car reacts to different inputs and adjusting driving style to the car's unique characteristics, especially in terms of its rear-wheel drive dynamics, is crucial for optimal performance.
