- Fun fast lap with a passenger and lot's of traffic during Sunday August 30, 2015 Touristenfahrten. Check below for answers to FAQ's.
At the end of the lap you can see a new and much more powerful 2016 Audi R8 V10 Plus which was driven by an Audi factory driver as a demo showcase for potential buyers. It would have been nice if he had let me through but that would be bad marketing I guess!
FAQ 1: Why don't you shift manually?
Funny enough, I get this question in the comments 9 out of 10.
The car is manual mode as you can see clearly from the position of the gear stick to the left but with Porsche PDK's (except GT cars) when you go full throttle (kick-down) it upshifts by itself at the best moment when it's hits maximum redline. Downshifts I always have to do manually but because the paddle is behind the wheel it's difficult to see. If you watch closely you can see me early upshifting in some corners to enhance traction (at the first bump going into foxhole at 2:45" and 2nd time at 2:56")
FAQ 2: How do you get the track to display on the PCM?
You can only get this if you have the Sport Chrono option.
You start the Sport Chrono lap timer at the beginning of the lap. Then when you arrive at the same point at the end of the lap you push stop. Your route is recorded via the PCM GPS and from this route you get the outline of the track. The PCM has no idea which track it is, you can just name this lap.
You can then save and use this lap as a reference. This is important because it let's you load and compare this lap when you start a new run. Then you get the track layout (recorded route) on the display again and you can see the split time difference from the previous reference lap.
Hope you enjoy.
Its funny how i know this track so well because of Gran Turismo!
I was annoyed that the R8 didn't let you through on the corners, but that battle would have probably been close if the R8 was pushing harder. There was a lot of traffic in front of him, so I can see why he didn't let you through, but it was still a bit arrogant of a move. He might have thought he would have just passed you again on the straights. Awesome driving and thanks for the video.
That awkward moment when the old one looks better than the new one. RIP Audi R8 2008-2015
Hehe, 'Van mij moogt ge goed doorrijden, ik zal zwijgen'. Close to perfection on the passenger seat ;-)
yeah, loved that too :-)))
I had my volume a little low to hear the first time...lol...but yes, that is a really gool thing for her to say :-)
Porsche is de beste sportwagen, duidelijk sneller in de bochten. Leuk om zo aangemoedigd te worden door je passagier!
Nice ride. Boxster is not as much track car - how bumpy suspension was, omg. You are hero, that defended that time from R8 Boxster =)
sounds random but... I actually would love to ride a bicycle around the nurburg just cuz there is so many crazy hills haha.
Friggin love ur interior spec man! Always loved it in porsches.
I like it as well
Nice driving. I see this isn't your first time at the ring.
Perfect perspective. Not this wide-angle crap that'll work faster than it actually does. By the way, nice driving.
🤙🏻
Good driving
Thank you!
you know! the boxster and cayman are the biggest threat to the 911. but Porsche is keeping it low on power, with lesser technology and not AWD. that middle engine is superb for dealing with the laws of physics. plz share your thoughts concerning this matter. Thank you
Hi Elie, for sure this is true.
All the best sport cars have almost been middled engined. From F1 to Porsche. This because of the "moment of inertia" just like you said. You can see this very clearly when I change direction hard, the car follows incredibly quickly. When you compare this with rear- and front engined cars there is always some delay in weight transfer. I see this also when I am behind a faster GT3, my Boxster is always quicker through multiple bends just because the mass is so centralized it just flows through the corners more fluently.
BUT the 911 has the advantage of greater traction because of the weight that sits more above the rear tires. This means you can push the throttle a little bit more abruptly when exiting bends. Also it's a little bit more challenging and therefor maybe more exciting to drive a 911 hard because of the rear weight you have to control. For what I've seen the Cayman GT4 will beat any current 911 around corners except maybe the GT3 RS.
+/ /. "For what I've seen the Cayman GT4 will beat any current 911 around corners except maybe the GT3 RS." wowww man!!!! just imagine a rear axle steering fitted to a gt4!!!!!!!! i dont wanna mention AWD or MORE power. btw, do you expect porsche to abandon rear engines somewhere in the future? or they will still invest in power and technology to maintain the competence of the 911 and its rear engine legacy?
nice ride - now only have to learn how and when to shift manually with the paddles.
Helmet and driving gloves! And the Mrs is just wearing shades.....who wears the trousers!!
Great video, allows us to hear the wonderful sound of the car!
On some of the downshifts you were not downshifting manually. Thus you had the transmission in sport mode (stick to the left, but still in automatic) and one of the buttons on the center console pressed (either sport or sport plus) that allows the car to do auto downshifts.
+Marcus Soori Hi, sorry but you are very mistaken about how the PDK works. When you put it to the left it is M for manual mode and only manual mode. Then you can shift with the paddles at the wheel or the stick. In that mode it never downshifts itself but it does upshifts automatically at the ideal point when you floor it and it hit's the redline. To the right you have from top to both Parking, Reverse, Neutral and Drive (full automatic unless you touch the paddles at the wheel). Sport or Sport Plus has nothing to do with auto downshifts in Manual gear mode. It just changes the ESP and TC program, exhaust sound, faster shifts and more engine cooling. This is how it works. When you leave the gear in D (to the right and full automatic) and push Sport/Sport Plus it will change to points of shifting. Greets.
Here is a good explanation of how PDK works (I am a former 981 Cayman S owner), from a Porsche forum regular contributor:
"PDK will automatically up and downshift even in Manual. The difference is that the shift point in the other modes is determined by throttle. Suddenly floor it in any of the Auto modes and it will downshift appropriate to your throttle and mode. Stay on throttle and upshift point will depend on how much throttle and which mode. Floor it in Manual and it will not upshift until redline. Forget you're in Manual and brake to a stop, it will still seamlessly downshift all the way to full stop neutral. Doing this in Sport it will downshift at higher revs, you will hear the throttle blips and feel engine braking. In Manual it just stays in each gear until revs drop very low, then downshifts so smooth and quiet you will have to look at the numbers on the dash to know it happened! So overall keeps you in the gear you select while preventing you from doing any harm."
Loving your GTS videos, please post more soon! :)
+Marcus Soori Hi, don't quite understand why the discussion because I clearly know the in and outs of my own cars. Your Cayman S should work just the same as my PDK in the GTS.
From reading your last message maybe I have misunderstood you comment, you are talking about a kick-down downshift?
What you have just send me is a different matter all together, it describes a kick-down method. All automatics will drop gears automatically when you are in higher gear and do a kick-down. And indeed downshift when you let the car go in very RPM and to a halt which clearly didn't happen during this lap.
I do al the downshifts myself at the wheel because you have to in M mode. Except when you early upshift not to let the wheels spin. When you then stay in let's say 6th and floor it it will indeed jump to the ideal gear again which is normal and the faster way instead of going to that gear manually one by one.
This happens coming down into foxhole after the 2nd bump.
Hope that answers your question.
+/ /. The part of the quote I provided to you of greatest importance states that even in manual mode, when sport/sport plus is engaged, downshifts on braking will happen automatically, and not just for anti-stall purposes, also at higher rpms. That means the car can sense you are driving in an aggressive manner and will optimize braking downshifts if it feels it is smarter than you. If you reread the quote I provided, the sentences I have summarized are stated there.
Have a great weekend!
+Marcus Soori When I stated "automatically" in my reply above, I mean only in the situations in which the car decides the driver is attempting to downshift too late for optimal performance.
Good driving. No helmet for the passenger!?
+khudyman Thanks, nice driving as well. The 981 GTS is a great car, isn't it!
She jumped in quickly and I only had 1 helmet and in that case it's always better that the driver has one because if the worst happens and only the passenger has a helmet then in a crash he/she will knock the driver unconscious with the helmet. In this case at least you remain in control if something happens, hopefully.
+khudyman that would destroy the new haircut lol
Congratulations! You are very fast! See you driving is a pleasure ...
Why do you prefer to use the automatic than the manual?
Nice om nog wat belgen te zien op de ring!

So awesome. Great driving. Cool girl to hang out for a ride like that! Wow, my girl would never be ok with that. lol
Very nice driving mr. 👍😎
+Morten Berg Thank you!
WOW the Audi R8 is just rapid!
Why the pilot have helmet and not for the passenger ????? I don't understand !
Nice catch at 2:45
Great drive!!
the conversation at the end of the lap was a bit muffled did he say theres a strong smell of shit in hear?
You can have it on a manual gear and still do all this? I didn't know! Thank you!
Great great driving
+walkie1985 Thanks!
Well driven sir
Why, thank you!
look at super hero in the driving gloves
wheres your cape?
Great driving. How did you get the track map to appear on the infotainment screen?
+Ryan Frew Thanks. When you have the Sport Chrono option you get this function when you start a new timed lap. The gps tracks your route and you can store this as a reference lap. Next lap you can load the route and the track will show up on the PCM to compare times.
Very good video and loving the sound of that flat six. Though, the gloves are too thick to use manual gearshifts? Seems like the PDK is in D...
+Surfdivinity 1 Hi, so strange. Almost EVERY comment is about the shifting.
The car is in manual mode as you can see from the gearstick in the video but with Porsche PDK's (except GT cars) when you go full throttle (kick-down) it upshifts by itself when it's hits maximum rev. Downshifts I have to do manually but because the paddle is behind the wheel it's difficult to see. If you watch closely you can see me early upshifting myself to enhance traction. Greets
@@RingRennSport what you‘re saying makes sense, but at 4:21 it stays in the limiter until you manually upshift. Why didn‘t it automatically upshift there?
Greetings
I guess the sport exhaust is off. why? and does it gain more power when on?
No it's on. For me they could as well have skipped this button because I always leave it on. I have read that there is a small performance gain when the valves are kept open so the air is flowing more freely but you do not feel it at all.
The sound of the exhaust is silenced a lot on this video because the cooling fans were blowing full power because I always race with the AC off so to not have any power disadvantage.
But thrust me the 981 GTS exhaust is VERY loud and produces a great sound. Louder that a GT3! I also compared it side by side with a GT4 and the GT4 is a little louder but mostly deeper. The GTS has a much sharper pitch. More "V10" like when pushing hard.
+/ /. thx for your generous reply. I did ask my question because I didn't hear the special "fireworks" sound the gts produces at the start of engine braking.
+Elie Nehme sorry, at first i didn't notice the special exhaust sound ( fireworks) since my phone speakers did not allow for it to come clear. but it is clearly showing when i re-view it on my PC.
I don't understand how the car, in the beginning, is up-shifting when it in manual, and the driver only has his left hand on the steering wheel?
Hi, because all Porsche PDK's shift up by itself when you reach redline during kick-down. It is also the case with Audi S-Tronic. I think only the GT3 & RS don't. I really don't mind, it means you can focus on a lot of other things. I put it in manual so I can downshift myself or do an early upshift if I need to. Greets.
/ /. makes sense :)
+/ /. hi sir. what do u mean by kick down? is it you are pressing the botton at the end of the throttle with ur foot or simply taking the throttle to the limit without pressing the kick down botton. thx
Elie Nehme it doesn't matter if you use full throttle. if the car senses that you can accelerate faster in a lower gear, it will automatically change down to a lower gear (kick down).
+shmee150fan yes. but what is meant here by kick down is using the throttle fully. we are arguing here about the car shifting up not down under full throttle. my question was if pushing the end of the throttle's kick down botton differs than not pushing it
😏most be the side chick. No helmet 4 her😂
awesome vids
Why you are wearing a helmet and you beautiful passenger not? :)
I wonder how you have it on manual mode but it still shifts for you
only at the end did i realise they are Belgians...lovely accents too :-)
How did you get the lap on the entertainment system?
great driving? he diden`t even shift by him sellf lol
Awesomeeeeee
Why does the driver have a helmet but the passenger doesn't?
+Don Sanders I'm guessing the woman didn't wanted her hair to be messed up by the helmet.
obviously he is not a gentleman, it is confirmed watching the way he drives.
Super
I have a question: i read the description but i would like to know if there is some setting on the PDK or sport mode, i don't know, that allow you to have a "full manual" shift in both down and upshifts.. i mean: can you tell at the car "stop upshifting! I want to do the entire Nordschleife in first gear!!" :D
+ratt14thebests Hi, in manual control the downshifts are always up to you. Only way to not have the car upshift by itself in M is too not floor the gas pedal (kick-down) But then even I think it still upshifts when reaching the limiter but I forgot. As you can understand when I drive hard enough to get in the neighborhood of the redline, my foot is on the ground anyway so it always shifted up by itself. But if you like to run the NS in 1st gear, you can. Just hold the pedal just before redline ;)
Thank you for the answer! I always thought that in the PDK models (both cayman and 911 series) you could use it like a normal sequential gearbox. For example i know that in the ferraris you can set the gearbox in order to let it upshift autonomously but you can also set it like a normal manual gearbox so you decide if and when upshift even in full throttle. I'm a very big porsche supporter but i think that it's a pity that they don't offer a way to reach the redline whenever you want and as long as you want.. (obviously keeping full throttle, i mean).. at any rate you driving is very good and it's a pleasure watching your videos!
+ratt14thebests I do believe that the GT3 & GT3RS do retain full manual control in M. But I'm not sure as I have never driven one.
And what for the carrera s 991.1 or .2 PDK? it's the last question, i promise! ahah
+ratt14thebests Also no idea but I do think it's the same as with my past GTS. Also other german cars have this. Had an Audi S5 Sportback and did exactly the same with the S-Tronic in M mode, do a kick-down and it will upshift by itself..
That interior colour though....
Nice Colour.. we have the same in our Boxster S.
+MinecraftMrLp It's not the obvious colour for a GTS but I just had to have it 1 time on a car. Love it. Makes it feel a lot more luxurious doesn't it. But it's really tricky for people with OCD like me, very easy to get dirty :) My GT4 will be here soon, so I can wear some jeans again!
Excelent machine
Funny. He is driving with the helmet and the girl without...

+Creaator vr Nono. Looks closer because of the GoPro nonetheless my foot was on the brake just in case. Never know what the bikers on the ring will do.

A feeling that the child rides.Always late in the rotation and then a very broad approach to the rotation
Awesome
When you taxi to the track you are doing something to the steering wheel???
My question too :(
Going through the on board computer. You get screens that show things like tyre pressure and for some reason g-force. Like I have time to look at what g I’m pulling 😂
Please, why do you drive with PSM -yellox spot switched off- ? (Your high level driving allows widely to do without)His reactions on the Wheel are very unpleasant for me (S 981 Sp Chrono driven in Sport mode)Without PSM, It seems an other car .Thanks for your answer !
your comment is a complete mess

+MrFunk Mmm not really. He caught up to it, and was quicker around the bends. R8 driver got behind traffic and could't overtake. On the straight of course it's quicker, it has around twice the power (350 vs 600)
+VirusTornado Finally someone that gets it! Greets.
He was messing with you by holding you up.

Horrible interior. Never seen a GTS with that interior. Brutal. I spent some time driving a BoxsterGTS on track and it was a blast. It was a shorter track so didn't get up to those speeds. I'd say your driving is soso - you are not even shifting your own gears. Why is your passenger not wearing a helmet?
+MrFunk Hi, I had to have that interior 1 time in my life. Makes the car feel a lot more luxurious. However I will be pleased when my GT4 arrives shortly so I can start wearing jeans again! :)
Concerning my driving, I take it you have driven the Nordschleife a lot have you? ;)
And for the gears, go drive a Porsche with PDK, put in in manual mode, mash the throttle and see what happens, the PDK will always upshift itself when it comes to the redline, easy. It doesn't downshift itself however in manual mode.
It's difficult to see because the steering wheel paddles are so small but if you watch closely you can see me downshifting all the time, plus early upshifting to not upset the car in some corners.
Passenger wasn't wearing a helmet because 1) she jumped in quickly at the gate 2) only had 1 helmet 3) If you crash it's always better that the driver has a helmet on instead of only the passenger because the helmet will knock the driver unconscious and with all the consequences that will have of trying to avoid a second impact, etc...
Greets.
Wow, was für geile Beine, Fuesse und Zehen der Beifahrerin, die haben mich ehrlich mehr interessiert als Deine Fahrt... LOL... Und. Warum trägt eigentlich die Beifahrerin keine Helm - verantwortungslos so was... auch wenn der gelbe SPACO Audi so langsam fuhr....

He was good, as he was driving safe. This is tourist driving, and you must always be prepared for idiots around. Therefore careful approach and overtaking is a MUST.
Not a really good drive...
