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.

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.
