    Why can’t I have the option to turn abs off? Why does gt3 feel so slow? I drive all cars but mostly p1, fx90, and group 5. I think maybe it’s the traction control that is used in gt3. I do real driving with abs off and tc off most of the time. When I drive gt3 it feels like i’m going in slow mo. I like gt1-3, but gt3 they just feel different than all the other cars. Plus everyone uses the Mercedes because of the benefit in horsepower it seems that if you use the other gt3 cars you are at a disadvantage, I thought all these cars were supposed to be near equal in capability. Someone enlighten me. Thanks.

    You should be able to turn abs off while in the garage during a session.
    Feeling slow might largely be explained by the fact that p1 and fx90 are much faster classes. Not sure how group 5 compares lap time wise but at least on acceleration they should also be faster

    Is it advisable to turn ABS off though?

    I prefer no abs. More control of the breaks.

    Wait you mean if they give you the option to turn off abs. There isn’t a button to turn it off?

    When you load up a session and youre in the garage youll find a few settings on the lower right, one of them being the abs. Might well be that its called braking assistance or something similar

    That’s what i meant, in some sessions they don’t let you pick just give you abs on.

    If you use Go real and switch them to off you should have no traction control or ABS. In MP mode some servers have them on by default so you can´t choose.

    You are right about the AMG, it´s killed the class.

    I can compete with the Mercedes, but it's very hard, specialy on straights. They should do something about the BOP of these cars.

    I don't drive a Mercedes, exactly because everyone is driving it. They are like a plague.

    It has been mentioned in a couple of threads that the GTR3 are going through a physics update at the moment which will obviously include a BOP. Changing a BOP for 1 vehicle takes a considerable amount of time and effort by the same people that are doing the update. You wouldn't want to slow down the update, would you?

    Exactly the time they make up on straights outweighs any other cars ability to do anything better

    That´s not always bad provided they are not the fastest in the corners too! We can see from DTM 92 that some cars are fast on straight and others in corners and all have similar lap times in the end.
    I guess the issue with Gt3 is that cars are being added over several years so it´s harder to match them up than when a pack is released.
    The Gt3 cars I own in the starter and ring legends packs all seem quite similar whereas AMG, BMW M6, Audi R8 and Mustang seem notably faster than the others.
