a lot of money and im not really sure i understand what im getting from it. Factory improvements are really useful, 10 extra workers (the slider between the 2 staff who deal with improvement & reliability) can have a huge impact in the first 2 races of a season. This is hardly ChampMan/FM stuff, but it covers everything quite nicely, its simple enough to enjoy it casually yet it has enough depth to enjoy it still. Nothing has come close to GPM before this, they've all looked naff and like its dumbed down. That said, im definitely enjoying it, its just flawed. You can be 3-4sec faster than someone, but they'll trundle along behind them and do bizarre things around them, such as go around them on a straight, outbrake them, then dawdle round the corner as the other car takes a proper speed and retakes the position. Seeing the cars and how they over-react around each other is infuriating most of the time.
Watching the races also makes you realise how bad the mobile version probably was but you'd never know cos you couldnt see it.

Whether its ace drivers who'll drive for the worst team while utter junk wont even talk to you, or knowing how to maximise your chances when starting at the back of the field cos of the reverse grid and still having a horrendous car. “In the end it’s like this effort paid off, it was nice to see that a lot of people were congratulating and appreciating the effort we do.Its decent until you realise it does have some flaws and you'd be stupid not to take advantage of them. “It’s why I felt it’s a major achievement to be the very first team that wins a DTM race for Porsche,” he says, satisfied. Bernhard says he has “drivers basically from other continents being interested to run in DTM” and remarks that the feedback he received after the Norisring “was tremendous, all around, even from F1 team bosses that I know”. Notice is certainly being taken of the team now. That’s definitely where I think that we can be.” “I think for the remainder of the season we can be a strong contender, still from the top five positions, and we want to be on the podium. “Many people probably didn’t know him in that context, so I said before the first race already that he can surprise people. “Thomas is very talented, but he didn’t have the name probably outside of Germany or Austria,” says Bernhard. That’s definitely where I think that we can be" Timo Bernhard "I think for the remainder of the season we can be a strong contender, still from the top five positions, and we want to be on the podium. And Bernhard believes more success is on the cards in the second half of the season at the Nurburgring, Red Bull Ring, Spa and Hockenheim. Preining has already hit Bernhard’s stated aim of winning a race and is justifying his pre-season confidence of mixing it with the series’ grandee teams from the Class One era. When I watch his on-board, he’s one of the very few drivers I had to say ‘Okay, he knows what he’s doing in terms of style’ and it just fits together.” “I watch on-board cameras from all my drivers because it interests me as a former driver, or still as a driver, but also to figure out the style they have, what they need, what we can help with and where they can also learn. “This is a different approach which is equally as difficult, but it’s just a little bit of a different priority and I think this kind of environment suits him well.īernhard says Preining's speed and style are second to none
“You don’t have to make any compromise, you have to find these last hundredths,” continues Bernhard. Bernhard’s view is echoed by comments from Porsche’s GT3 project manager Sebastian Golz, who recently told 's sister website Motorsport-Total that Preining is “a qualifier, that has to be said”.

In the DTM, optimising the full potential of the car is more important than other endurance-based series using the same GT3 cars, where there is more time to make up for a sub-par qualifying performance.
Preining had comfortably outpaced the SSR cars in qualifying at Imola to take third – Olsen was 11th and Vanthoor 15th – and told his race result was “definitely the best we could have done”. That’s because the team made a breakthrough in the previous round at Imola, where Preining only lost a race one podium on the penultimate lap to a charging Mirko Bortolotti, after Bernhard had tested the car at Hockenheim. However, it would be hugely over-simplifying matters to pin Bernhard and Preining’s success merely on the nature of the short 1.429-mile track. And it’s not like Bernhard is totally isolated in its set-up approach, with Vanthoor telling at the Norisring that “there is open communication and shared data” between the two outfits, even if “not everything is shared”. If ever a circuit would suit the Porsche, it would be the Norisring due to the emphasis its short layout with hairpins at either end puts on good traction. Preining took Porsche's first DTM win at the Norisring
