After a run of GT3 setups, TE0815PaVeL drops down a class this time: the Audi R8 LMS GT4 takes on the Nordschleife in Automobilista 2, posting 8:39.660 (3:33.259 / 3:34.860 / 1:31.540) — with more time clearly still on the table.
Chassis work
Unlike the GT3 cars, the fast damper stages (Fast Bump/Fast Rebound) are locked in the GT4 class, so fine-tuning happens entirely through the slow damper stages, the anti-roll bars, springs, and tyre pressure.
Driving character
The R8 GT4 isn't a slow car, but it demands respect through the Nordschleife's fast sections. Between entry and exit, the balance occasionally swings between light understeer and oversteer — and as fuel burns off over a stint, it should only get quicker. For race use, that means treating it with some caution: in the fast corners, not every lap goes the same way.

My new setup for the McLaren 720S GT3 Evo at the Nordschleife in Automobilista 2 is now available for download. It came together over several sessions — and not by gut feeling, but consistently data-driven.
The little Frenchman is a character all of its own around the Nordschleife: light, agile, and with a rear end you have to tame first. For the Green Hell I dialled in the Alpine A110 GT4 in Automobilista 2 so that it stays predictable over the full distance – and on this track that is worth more in the end than the last tenth on a single perfect lap.
Eight weeks. That's how long it took to build a dedicated setup for every GT3 and GT4 car for the Nordschleife. Eight weeks full of highs and lows that I want to share with you.
The Porsche Cayman GT4 has now also been tested on the Nordschleife. The Cayman proves to be a very well-balanced car – not a supercar, but a true all-rounder that delivers solid results in virtually every corner.
After several sessions with the Mercedes-AMG GT4 on the Nordschleife, the focus was clear: find where the car was losing time and correct the handling in a targeted way. Down from 8:40.7 to 8:39.979 — a small but clean step forward.
