From all of us at iRacing, we appreciate your support and your commitment to our product. We aim to deliver the ultimate sim racing experience, and we hope that you’ll find plenty of excitement with us behind the wheel of your new car! GT3s have proven to be some of the most popular road racing cars in the world in recent years, and few brands have quite the road racing pedigree of Porsche. It should stand as no surprise, then, that the Porsche 911 GT3 R is both a beloved and successful piece of kit. Immediately successful out of the gate thanks to a win in its first attempt at the Bathurst 12 Hour, you can find the 911 GT3 R running at the front of the field everywhere from the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship to the Intercontinental GT Challenge. The 4.0-liter flat-six boxer engine produces a whopping 543 horsepower, more than enough to propel you to the front of the pack! The following guide explains how to get the most out of your new car, from how to adjust its settings off of the track to what you’ll see inside of the cockpit while driving. We hope that you’ll find it useful in getting up to speed. Thanks again for your purchase, and we’ll see you on the track! 3 PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | TECH SPECS CHASSIS DOUBLE WISHBONE FRONT SUSPENSION, MULTI-LINK REAR SUSPENSION WET WEIGHT LENGTH WIDTH WHEELBASE DRY WEIGHT WITH DRIVER 4629mm 2002mm 2459mm 1280kg 1406kg 182.2in 78.8in 96.8in 2822lbs 3100lbs POWER UNIT WATER-COOLED REAR MOUNTED FLAT-6 BOXER DISPLACEMENT RPM LIMIT TORQUE POWER 4.0 Liters 9450RPM 280lb-ft 500bhp 244.14CID 380Nm 374kW PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | USER MANUAL 4 PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | INTRODUCTION Introduction The information found in this guide is intended to provide a deeper understanding of the chassis setup adjustments available in the garage, so that you may use the garage to tune the chassis setup to your preference. Before diving into chassis adjustments, though, it is best to become familiar with the car and track. To that end, we have provided baseline setups for each track commonly raced by these cars. To access the baseline setups, simply open the Garage, click iRacing Setups, and select the appropriate setup for your track of choice. If you are driving a track for which a dedicated baseline setup is not included, you may select a setup for a similar track to use as your baseline. After you have selected an appropriate setup, get on track and focus on making smooth and consistent laps, identifying the proper racing line and experiencing tire wear and handling trends over a number of laps. Once you are confident that you are nearing your driving potential with the included baseline setups, read on to begin tuning the car to your handling preferences. GETTING STARTED Before starting the car, it is recommended to map controls for Brake Bias, Traction Control and ABS adjustments. While this is not mandatory to drive the car, this will allow you to make quick changes to the driver aid systems to suit your driving style while out on the track. Once you load into the car, getting started is as easy as selecting the “upshift” button to put it into gear, and hitting the accelerator pedal. This car uses a sequential transmission and does not require a clutch input to shift in either direction. However, the car’s downshift protection will not allow you to downshift if you are traveling too fast for the gear selected and would incur engine damage. If that is the case, the gear change command will simply be ignored. Upshifting is recommended at the illumination of the last two yellow shift lights on the dashboard. This is at approximately 9000 rpm. PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | USER MANUAL 5 PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | INTRODUCTION LOADING AN iRACING SETUP When you first load into a session, the iRacing Baseline setup will be automatically loaded onto the car. If you would like to try any of the other iRacing pre-built options, you may select it by going to Garage > iRacing Setups > and then selecting another option that fits your needs. Because this car uses slightly different chassis and body configurations on different types of tracks, it will be necessary to load a setup from the same track type to pass tech inspection. For example, a setup for Talladega will pass at Daytona, but likely will not pass at Bristol. If you would like to customize the setup, simply make the changes in the garage that you would like to update and click apply. If you would like to save your setup for future use click “Save As” on the right to name and save the changes. To access all of your personally saved setups, click “My Setups” on the right side of the garage. If you would like to share a setup with another driver or everyone in a session, you can select “Share” on the right side of the garage to do so. If a driver is trying to share a setup with you, you will find it under “Shared Setups” on the right side of the garage as well. PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | USER MANUAL 6 PORSCHE 911 GT3 R | DASH PAGES Dash Pages The digital dash display in this car features three selectable pages (Race 1, Race 2 and Qual) as well as numerous light clusters to convey critical information to the driver. Race 1 and Race 2 are largely identical aside from the upper left cluster; Race 1 uses this cluster to display critical engine parameters (oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature and water pressure) while Race 2 uses this space to display relevant fuel calculations (fuel used this stint, fuel consumption per lap, fuel pressure and current fuel level). ‘Qual’ forgoes most of these detailed parameters and instead displays only lap time, predicted lap time and total fuel remaining.

However, the GT3 is no mere homologation special. Although it does not carry Power to go, to what weekend racers might consider to be unnecessary ballast – things such as flow, and to stop a back seat – it remains a car that can be a daily driver. A reduction of the moving masses within the engine allows Porsche’s 3.6-liter, 380 horsepower six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine to spin more freely, producing more without horsepower and torque while allowing the GT3 to maintain the same fuel consumption ratings as other 911 models. turbocharging The 2004 911 GT3 is rated at 380 (SAE) horsepower (at 7,400 rpm) and at 285 lb.-ft. of torque at 5,000 rpm.

  • Latest Porsche 911 GT3 to Be Fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup Tires
    PRESS INFORMATION 16 February 2021 Latest Porsche 911 GT3 to be fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup tires The seventh generation of the Porsche 911 GT3 (992), will be fitted with MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup tires as one of the original equipment fitments, plus the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires will be available as a dealer-fit option for those who wish to push on- track performance to the limit. During testing carried out by Porsche on the 20.8-kilometre Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit in Germany, the car fitted with the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires posted a lap time of 6 minutes 59.927 seconds. While setting this time, the more often used reference lap distance of 20.6-kilometres was despatched in an equally impressive 6 minutes 55.2 seconds. Driven by Porsche test driver, Lars Kern, the 911 GT3 was fitted with 255/35 ZR 20 front and 315/30 ZR 21 rear MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires, and the production car fitment will be MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires in the same sizes. During preparations for the Nürburgring tests, Porsche tested tires from three different manufacturers at the Hockenheim race circuit, before selecting the MICHELIN Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect because it offered the best track performance. Speaking after setting the lap time, Lars Kern said: ‘The combination out of the new Porsche 911 GT3 and the Michelin tires feels incredibly balanced. The grip is super high and the response and driveabilty are on another level.’ Developed for drivers who want the ultimate performance during days on track, the Pilot Sport Cup 2 R Connect tires combine the casing design based on that of the Pilot Sport Cup 2 with motorsport rubber compounds, plus they are ready to be fitted with MICHELIN Track Connect sensors that enable them to be used with the MICHELIN Track Connect smartphone application.

  • Porsche 919 Hybrid English.Indd
    Porsche 919 Hybrid Return to top-level sport Porsche is making its comeback to the top-level motorsport arena: with the new 919 Hybrid the sports car brand is sending a platform for pioneering technology to the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) with the undisputed seasonal highlight of the 24-hour Le Mans race. Porsche's reputation precedes it at this venue: with 16 overall victories under its belt, the brand holds the record for this, the most famous endurance race in the world. In 2014 Porsche is returning to the top-level class endurance race after a 16-year absence - namely Le Mans Prototypes (LMP1). Matthias Müller, Chairman of the Executive Board of Porsche AG explains: "The new and revolutionary efficiency regulations for this class were what prompted us to take this step. In 2014 it is not going to be the fastest contender who is going to win the sports car world championship and Le Mans, but the car that gets furthest with the defined amount of energy. And it is precisely this challenge that the automotive industry has to face. The 919 Hybrid is like a high speed research laboratory and the most complex racing car Porsche has ever built." The new WEC regulations for the LMP1 racing car gives engineers an unusual amount of leeway and demands pioneering technology, such as hybridisation, downsizing engines and consistent lightweight construction. This is all particularly relevant for the development of future generations of factory-spec sports cars. Maximum sporting performance and highest efficiency are at the heart of "Porsche Intelligent Performance".

  • Mark Webber and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS Star at the 2018 Australian
    newsroom Company Mar 25, 2018 Mark Webber and the Porsche 911 GT2 RS star at the 2018 Australian Grand Prix Porsche Cars Australia has begun Australian celebrations of 70 years of the Porsche sports car at the Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne this week. The event was the Australian debut of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the fastest and most powerful 911 with approval for use on the road. Local hero and Porsche ambassador Mark Webber, who was involved in the development of this high-performance model, was on-hand to drive the GT2 RS around the Albert Park Grand Prix Circuit. The first Australian-bound version of this car was also on display at the event.
