Quite a bit of that was inaccurate I’m afraid, so if you don’t mind I’d like to give you a bit of a refresher on GT500 in AC and in real life.
The primary GT500 mod in Assetto Corsa is the URD JT5 Shiro, which is based on the 2015 Nissan GT-R Nismo GT500. The 2015-spec GT-R is based on FIA Class One specifications for touring cars like the DTM models are. In all aspects the 2015 and 2013 Nissan GT-R GT500 cars are completely different machines.
Chivas has made two packs for pre-2014 Class One regulation GT500 cars including all three manufacturers. The first pack was the 2008 cars which was an unfinished mod URD donated to them. 2013 is the current pack they’re working on and those cars are an evolution of the 2008 regulations (except the Honda which is a completely different car to the old NSX).
So yeah. Between 2013 and 2015, the Nissan GT-R is a completely different car that only shares a common name. The old car has a V8 engine while the new one has a 4 cylinder. Not to mention they have completely different aerodynamics and chassis. If the 2013 cars are based on the 2015 cars physics-wise in Assetto Corsa, that’s completely inaccurate.
Meanwhie, the 2020 GT-R seen in that video is an evolution of the 2015 car, like the 2008 cars are to the 2013 cars. It’s all a little confusing but just remember that 2014 was the year that the GT500 regulations were completely changed into FIA Class One touring cars, which are very different than the cars GT500 was using before then.
