The Audi RS 3 LMS TCR is a front-wheel drive touring car in iRacing. It runs in the TCR Virtual Challenge alongside Honda, Hyundai Elantra N and Veloster N TCR. Official TCR homologation—close racing and momentum-based driving.

Car Characteristics

  • Drive: Front-wheel drive. Understeer on exit if throttle is applied too early
  • Weight transfer: Braking shifts weight forward; use it to aid turn-in
  • Power: Moderate. Corner speed and momentum matter more than raw power
  • Assists: Varies by series. Smooth throttle and braking reward consistency

Series

TCR Virtual Challenge runs fixed and open setups. One-make and multi-make races on world circuits. Ideal for D-licence drivers who enjoy front-drive touring cars.

Driving Tips

  • Turn-in: Brake in a straight line, then turn. Let the front bite before adding throttle
  • Exit: Wait for the car to straighten before full throttle. Early power causes understeer
  • Kerb use: Use kerbs to shorten the lap; avoid aggressive strikes that unsettle the car
Tip: In TCR, exit speed is king. Be patient with the throttle and carry minimum speed through the apex so you can get on power early on the straight.
