R8LMS handling

[Terry Rock]

Is there some 'unspoken' law written somewhere that Audi' R8LMS has to handle like sh*t in every racing title on the market?
While certainly manageable, every one I have ever driven out of a pit stall in simracing has exhibited horrendous braking... an absolute lack of steering authority, with the car almost unable to complete a turn-in even at ridiculously low speeds.
Christ! if I spent that much money for a car and it exhibited those traits, I hand it back..

Are you referring to the Audi GT3 car in AC?
It seems ok to me.

 

[Giovaneveterano]

It just me or the R8 LMS is one of the finest car to drive?
The balance is remarkable and it suits almost every track.

 

[Neilski]

Me too - it's one of the nicer-handling GT3 cars.

 

[Terry Rock]

Maybe it is me.
I grew up with a preference for over-steer if the car couldn't be balanced.
The Audi just seems to under-steer everywhere and at speeds I would not expect a 'super-car' to do it at.
It's not unique to AC.
Maybe I'm expecting too much.

across all sims probably one of most ballanced GT3s, easiest to drive,

Personally, i don't like it. I tried it recently and i simply couldn't do more than 2 laps without puking, but i like the ferrari gt3 and it's immense understeer, so what do i know... If i had to choose the easiest gt3 i'd go for the bmw or the old mclaren.

 

[ouvert]

well it is not my favourite either but it behaves like you would expect it to ... OP is doing something wrong ..

Oh! I can drive the car...that's not the issue.
I just find that (for me at least), it under-steers way too much at low speed.

The car on that video is some ancient ripped mod, not the Kunos car.

Maybe you should clearly state exactly which car you are talking about. You know, to avoid confusion and misunderstanding

I absolutely love the Z4 GT3 and the 458 GT2.
There is absolutely no comparison to either of those cars on Mugello.

If(because most of the time it's a driver input error) a car really understeers, you fix it with setup?

Am i missing something, is it rip off or not, i would not be able to tell.

But it is an "important" point after all.

If only he would know how to set it up... I guess, according to his words he wouldn't know.

Personaly I can agree to the BMW but the MP-4 really gave me headages. I had to fight massive lift-off oversteer and plain oversteer in fast turns as soon as I had to lower the wings, which is usually needed (IMO) on tracks like Spa, Mugello. Got it managed recently but took me a lot of setup work.

 

[Billy Pilgrim]

I actually don't really understand the OP's point. And I'm really not looking to be contrary. I find the R8 GT3 car very balanced and predictable. I actually don't use it that much cos I find it a bit uninteresting, not much character.
Of course, this is just my opinion - I won't be surprised to find others think totally differently on this.

 

[Terry Rock]

Hell! all I needed to do with the default car was to bring up the rear tire pressure by two pounds...a different car now.

Tyre pressures, gearing... those are the absolute basics. I think it's clear it's more about a learning process to get to grips with setups and cars than issues with the car itself here.

Good to see it works out for you though.

OP, if we are talking about KS' car (not the 2016), try the attached setup (just integrated the tire pressure recommendation). I think it's great now. Not just fast but also sounds good and is fun.

Speaking of 2016 or not, is the R8 LMS without year in the name supposed to be the 2015 or 2017?
