PORSCHE 911 GT3 R  |  USER MANUAL

Introduction

The information found in this guide is intended to provide a deeper understanding of the 
chassis setup adjustments available in the garage, so that you may use the garage to tune 
the chassis setup to your preference. 

Before diving into chassis adjustments, though, it is best to become familiar with the car 
and track. To that end, we have provided baseline setups for each track commonly raced 
by these cars. To access the baseline setups, simply open the Garage, click iRacing Setups, 
and select the appropriate setup for your track of choice. If you are driving a track for which 
a dedicated baseline setup is not included, you may select a setup for a similar track to use 
as your baseline. After you have selected an appropriate setup, get on track and focus on 
making smooth and consistent laps, identifying the proper racing line and experiencing tire 
wear and handling trends over a number of laps. 

Once you are confident that you are nearing your driving potential with the included baseline 
setups, read on to begin tuning the car to your handling preferences.

GETTING STARTED

Before starting the car, it is recommended to map controls for Brake Bias, Traction Control and ABS adjustments. While this is 
not mandatory to drive the car, this will allow you to make quick changes to the driver aid systems to suit your driving style while 
out on the track. 
Once you load into the car, getting started is as easy as selecting the “upshift” button to put it into gear, and hitting the 
accelerator pedal. This car uses a sequential transmission and does not require a clutch input to shift in either direction. However, 
the car’s downshift protection will not allow you to downshift if you are traveling too fast for the gear selected and would incur 
engine damage. If that is the case, the gear change command will simply be ignored. 
Upshifting is recommended at the illumination of the last two yellow shift lights on the dashboard. This is at approximately 9000 
rpm.
