DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 8
• Rear wing: 7
• Brake ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (minimal, single lap — no thermal concern, prioritize low drag for T16/main straight)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Bentley's high mechanical grip but soft factory-feel chassis means for one hot lap you want a stiffer rear ARB and firm front ride height to sharpen rotation into Elf and La Caixa — the car will feel nervous on entry, but this trade-off gains rotation speed you cannot get back through mid-corner alone. Push rear wing down slightly (7 not 8) to unstick the rear on Campsa's banking exit at max speed, trading a bit of stability for straight-line gain onto the pit straight.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 Elf: Brake as late as possible in a straight line, trail into the apex using front grip and slightly loose rear to rotate hard — early throttle sacrifices lap time here, don't be shy on the exit kerb.
• T3 Renault: Commit flat or near-flat; any lift costs 2-3 tenths. Rear stability from stiffer ARB setup lets you carry more minimum speed than default setups.
• Campsa (T10): This is where hotlaps are won. Stay full throttle, trust the rear aero — small steering corrections only, resist any lift, the car will feel loose but the Bentley's rear geometry holds if you don't overcorrect.
• T13/14 Complex: Late apex both corners tightly, prioritize traction over entry speed — this feeds the longest flat run to the line.
• T16 New Holland: Carry maximum minimum speed; a wide, committed line here defines your straight speed onto the front straight — this corner alone can be worth half a second of lap time.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:42.100 — theoretical optimal based on aggregated best sector times, dry, low fuel, soft tyres, single flying lap conditions

REAL WORLD RECORD

• No official record (Bentley Continental GT3 2015 does not hold a publicized outright Barcelona GT3 lap record; class times vary by series)

SIM RACING RECORD

• 1:42.850 — ACC, GT3 class, Bentley Continental GT3
