do you have any good facts about gt3 cars or gt3 racing? currently foaming at the mouth for some of the cars in that class
I have a good fact about this ask! I viewed it and the notification went away and I completely forgot about it until I was brushing my teeth so here we are now!
One cool fact is the team that runs itasha liveries, Goodsmile Racing, which I mentioned in my post about itasha, which if you don't know is... well... this.
Tumblr media
As far as the rest goes, my knowledge of GT3 cars is shallow enough that anyone invested enough in them to ask will know all I do. But, on the off chance that you don't and to entertain the public:
This is a Ford GT.
Tumblr media
And while it's bigger than the 1960s racecar it's inspired by and by its mid-00s revival, it's really not that big! It's under 4.8 m (188 in) long and 1.1m (44 in) tall. That's about the length of a Camry and three quarters the height. Squish a Camry real hard, basically.
Tumblr media
This is a BMW M8. It's not that small. It's a whole 23cm (9in) taller than the GT. It's a touch narrower, but its race version is instead 18cm (7in) wider than the GT's.
This creates a rather striking difference in size when they are side by side, which, given they compete in the same class, often happens.
Tumblr media
Now, some Japanese exaggerated that size difference with image editing because he thought he was funny.
Tumblr media
He was.
This sparked a series of "Big M8" memes that got progressively more overboard.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
"But aren't these GTE cars?", you may object.
And yes. They are. I just didn't know the difference when I started writing this post. So that's how much I know about GT3 cars.
I guess I could tell you some fun facts about the road cars they are based on - like that the first Audi R8...
Tumblr media
...was based on parts from both these cars!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While chassis and powertrain were heavily shared with the Gallardo due to Audi's Lamborghini ownership, the R8 also had a "base" V8 trim that used the engine from the RS4 (aka the Real Sporty version of the Audi A4 - of which by the way Father had and thoroughly loved the convertible, exquisitely competent car! Turbo issues aside I thoroughly recommend).
Links in blue are posts of mine explaining the words in question - if you liked this post, you might like those!

Volkswagen Golf GTI W12-650 
VW decided that they would create one of the most fantastic GTI concepts to date by combining different mechanical elements from other companies within the VW Group, and do it in just two months.Past and current automotive companies often use the communal parts bin to build and finish cars for cheap, but it is done under the assumption that they will make money from it. In Volkswagen's case, they had no intention of selling a single Golf GTI W12-650, meaning they had no pressure and absolutely nothing to lose. The first order of business was to give the new Golf concept some real power. Enter: Bentley W12. Now you know how it got its name. The Bentley W12 was the twin-turbo motor used in the Bentley Continental GT, which has grown into a very capable coupe as of late.The only problem was the sheer size of the W12 engine itself. The stock  Golf GTI packed a little 2.0-liter turbo four-cylinder under the hood, which is a whopping three times smaller than the big 6.0-liter W12 they were intending to use.n rebuttal to this setback, the team decided they would keep the plans to use the W12 and mount it in the largest part of the compact Golf: the middle. Thus, the first VW-built mid-engined Golf GTI was born.With the engine sitting behind the driver and passenger, there would be room for adequate safety and comfort for occupants, but there were further challenges up the road. One of them being the 641 hp the W12 was capable of producing.In order to keep the car from twisting itself apart under throttle, VW installed performance parts from other brands including rear axles and brakes from a Lamborghini Gallardo, an automatic transmission from a Volkswagen Phaeton, front brakes from an Audi RS 4, and the rear subframe from an Audi R8. Volkswagen says that the Golf GTI W12-650 could scoot from 0-60 in "less than four seconds" and continue accelerating until it topped out at a shockingly fast 201 mph. The 0-60 figures seem completely doable for a 641 hp Golf, but a 201 mph top speed is nuts. We must find the person who tested that and give them a medal.When going 200+ mph in a hatchback, aerodynamics is also a key factor in not dying. The Golf GTI W12-650 was lowered 2 inches on all four corners to cater to high speeds and reduce the frontal area for drag. The rear glass was also redesigned for aerodynamic and packaging purposes. The body gained 6.3 inches in width to accommodate for larger tires and the shifted balance of the car. The wider area also allowed for larger front air ducts to feed the 6.0-liter monster.
