The GTE class cars received extra attention from iRacing for this new season. Since this remains an extremely popular class in the simulator, efforts were made to review various aspects of all cars to provide more realistic behavior. The updates apply to all five GTE cars: BMW M8, Chevrolet Corvette C8.R, Ferrari 488, Ford GT, and Porsche 911 RSR.
The physics and tires for these cars have been revised. There was a complete overhaul of the dry tire compounds and construction, now featuring more realistic deflection and greater sensitivity to the grip limit. Additionally, rain tires are now available, allowing GTE class cars to be properly prepared for wet-track racing.
Ao nível do chassis para estes carros, foram incluídos ‘rub blocks’ nos splitters dianteiros e nas linhas centrais dos eixos, combinados com taxas de mola mais suaves nos pneus e maior altura estática. Houve também um ajuste no Balance Of Performance (BOP) para compensar as mudanças na altura aerodinâmica e no ‘rake‘.
Mechanical aspects were also addressed, with significant adjustments to the gearboxes, optimizing 1st through 6th gears for better alignment with each car’s torque curve.
The Garage page has been redesigned and is now simpler and more intuitive, making car adjustments easier. Tuning is now faster and more user-friendly, with ride height being adjusted directly and automatically recalculated by the simulator, without the need to tweak spring perches or torsion bars.
