The R8 and R18 both raced at Le Mans 6 years, 2000-2005 and 2011-2016. However the R8 was basically the same all 6 years while the R18 changed so much I think the last gen R18 is a completely different car from the 2011 one.
This is certainly not my favorite car in the Gr.1 category, but according to my calculations using this car against all other hybrids and diesels, this thing is a killer on the road in terms of competition, specially in Nurburgring track.
Trying this car out myself, I immediately noticed a difference. This one seemed abit more raw and really close to its real life counterpart whereas the 2011 one just sounds abit like the generic effect every other sim uses for diesel LMP1 cars.
This R18's best asset is its fuel economy. I did a custom, fuel consumption race - 3x fuel consumption 15 laps - and with Fuel Map only set at 1, this car will run out of juice AFTER 11 or 12 LAPS depending on the track.
Even tho acel is 8.0 it's slow i recommend to lower rear and front downforce and it's interiors has a problem shift lights are so bright that is gonna block your view a bit witch can be saw on other lmp1 cars so if you hate shift lights blocking your view a bit get a group c
Think the problem is the fact that boost is off and you can lower the brightnes for the shift lights this is why group c some vgts and the 2011 audi r18 are ones that i recommend and avoid any hybrid like black death
Dude your not gonna believe it but I got this car on a daily car reward!!! I couldn't believe it!! So guys it looks like Random Prize cars from DLC will also be free
Imo the 2011 r18 is wayyyy to op if ur in a newer lmp car theres no chance. This one is a better realistic racing option if you want good racing and not 1 car leading by 40 seconds
All of the recent audi r18s being called the same thing is slightly misleading. Because Renault hold the trademark for r20 to r35 audio decided to just stop at r18. Só despite the fact that in 2014 the r18 got a quite substantial upgrade and again in 2015 and then again in 2016 (basically 3 completely different cars) they are all called r18
Actually, this exact model should've been called the r18 e-tron quattro. Not just the r18 '16. The only thing about the car is that the name is misleading.
Get the 919 its like 2 seconds a lap quicker. I cannot keep up with the 919 when i am in this. I am a Bdr and Ssr player and being beaten by cdr and asr players in 919's. If you dont have the 919 you are screwed.
The car sounds like a regular V6 and not the turbo diesel in V6 configuration that is in it in real life. I'm not expecting perfection but ugh I can't get past the sound

What Is Next The R20?
From 2014 onwards the R18 was a completely different car each year.
This is certainly not my favorite car in the Gr.1 category, but according to my calculations using this car against all other hybrids and diesels, this thing is a killer on the road in terms of competition, specially in Nurburgring track.
Been waiting for this car for a long time! And I love it!

Not surprising given the advancement of diesel racing tech each year, but good to know. :)
You deserve so many more views and subscribers. Great videos. Please make more for gt sport
Thanks bud :) and I do at least one GTS video every day ;)
Hey,
I m thinking about buying the 2016 r18 (i have the 2011) or the porsche? What re you think?
The R18 is RWD according to the in-game specs
It isn't. Its a part-time AWD hybrid, same as the 919 and TS050
the only thing this car has going for me is the sound. performance wise, yeah the LM55 and Alpine VGT easily dust the poor diesel racer
Even tho acel is 8.0 it's slow i recommend to lower rear and front downforce and it's interiors has a problem shift lights are so bright that is gonna block your view a bit witch can be saw on other lmp1 cars so if you hate shift lights blocking your view a bit get a group c

Yeah I heard someone else got a Cobra too :)
I got it as a Prize as well. Same thing happened with the Porsche 919.
How does this compare with the 2011 Audi r18?
Imo the 2011 r18 is wayyyy to op if ur in a newer lmp car theres no chance. This one is a better realistic racing option if you want good racing and not 1 car leading by 40 seconds
Could you review the Hyundai Gr.1 VGT?

this and the 919 are monsters on monza(no chicane)
When will we get new lmp1 cars and lmp2 dlc

Do u think they will group c cars like 787b
I hope so.

This car is good, but I do prefer the older R18 over the new one.
My first car was the 919 (LMP1 anyway) and I sold it because I got another lmp1 as a gift. I now regret it because now I know it’s a good car ;_;
Me too bruh
2011 model is much better lmao
First
Real Ciaran shut up
This is the best looking R18 ever made.
