Racing cars find bumps at Dunsfold that don’t exist for anything with numberplates. Equipped with the muscle to fight back against slick tyres, wings and devastating, face-wrenching brakes. They insist not, tell me that’s how fast a GT3 car is and I go away mildly dejected. I get out of them convinced the engineers have fitted the special restricted engine map labelled ‘foolproof: journo mode’. I’ve driven other GT3 cars and they’ve always left me slightly hollow. Is that an issue?Ībsolutely not, this is how it should be. You arrive at braking zones faster, you have to be more cautious with the throttle mid-corner, it means the car is on a finer edge all the time. The extra power taxes the car everywhere. But let’s say about 145mph, when most superfast road cars struggle to hit 125 (less speed carried out of Chicago, earlier on the brakes into Hammerhead). Could be wrong, there was quite a lot going on. In the GT3X, that’s gone, the physical forces on your body are not only more punishing, but the time spent actually covering a straight is much reduced.įrom Chicago down to Hammerhead I chance a glance at the digi readout and see it at, er, well, I think it was either 235kmh or 238kmh. In a regular GT3, acceleration is when you have a rest. McLaren reckons it’ll do 0-60mph wearing slicks in 2.8secs and that’s fine too, because when I drove it after I’d just hopped out of the Ferrari SF90 having posted a 2.35sec two-way average.īut what I’d forgotten is break times. So in my head that meant it would just be faster in a straight line. I thought I knew what I was getting into here. The biggest change apart from the engine is the rollcage, adapted chiefly to allow the inclusion of a passenger seat. All the body panels are carbon, only 10 per cent of the components are shared with the road car. A bare carbon chassis is delivered to race team HQ and the GT3X, just like its GT3 sibling, is built up from there.

50 per cent of the components are different to the race cars, and the options list includes such niceties as a drinks system – a straw, rather than a cabinet – full telemetry and a silenced exhaust. Outwardly it appears the rest of the car is pure GT3 – the aero package is largely unchanged for instance, and the same goes for the suspension. But more than that the GT3’s balance of performance is all wrong because having physically brutalized yourself with the stopping and turning, when you accelerate it’s like you’ve left the handbrake on. It would romp away from the racer in a straight line drag race. It’s all done electrically these days, there are no inlet restrictors, but instead turbo boost is managed so that total output (depending on track, weather, performance and a whole bunch of other parameters) is somewhere in the region of 500-550bhp. But when we say ‘fast’ we mean acceleration don’t we? But to make the racing even and keep costs down, power is limited. Sure, they’ll turn-in impressive lap times, but that’s because they have slick tyres, astonishing brakes and lateral grip that would make a limpet raise an eyebrow. But here’s the thing no-one tells you about regular GT3 racing cars. So the GT3X is clearly very, very fast indeed.
