You need to brake more speed out of it then front engined cars. Front engine cars have more entry speed. And you can balance the car midcorner.
With the porsche you need to attack corners more in a triangle way. Brake late go a little wide then speed gets out and then you steer to apex and accelerate out. With the CSL you make to corner more round then steer to the apex and balance under and oversteer with throttle. The GT3 gets it s main advantage in late braking and slingshot out of corners. Balancing throttle for under and oversteer won t work with a GT3. To early on throttle is understeer. You need to find the sweetspot when you don t have the understeer to power out of corners. Never play with the throttle midbend with gt3 it only gives understeer.

my english is not that good but i hope you understand.
Understood perfectly, agreed 100%.

Thanks for making the effort to write all that out..haha
