Mercedes-AMG GT3 (2015)

TYRES

• Dry compound (slick). Optimal operating window: 80–95°C (peak grip 85–90°C core). Front pressures target 27.0 PSI hot, rear 26.0–26.2 PSI hot — given today's lower-than-reference track temp isn't specified as different, but air 27°C/track 29°C is already warm/fast grip, so cold-set accordingly:
• FL 26.8 PSI / FR 26.7 PSI / RL 26.3 PSI / RR 26.2 PSI (cold, to land in hot window above)
• Tyre blanket temp: 80°C (standard pre-heat for qualifying sim, if applicable)

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 4 (quali attack, slightly lower than race for better rotation on a front-engine car)
• TC2 (cut): 0
• ABS: 5
• Engine Braking / Brake Magic: medium-low (favor stability into heavy braking zones)
• Brake Bias: 56.5%

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 54 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 185000 N/m / 185000 N/m
• ARB: 6
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 100%
• Brake Bias: 56.5%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 62 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 155000 N/m / 155000 N/m
• ARB: 4
• Diff Preload: 60 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.3
• Diff Power: 0.6

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 7
• Rear wing: 6
• Brake ducts: Front 2 / Rear 3 (warm track, minimal cooling need, prioritize low drag for long Misano straights)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Mercedes AMG GT3's long wheelbase makes it stable but reluctant to rotate at Misano's tight infield (Turns 6–8, 11–14); slightly softer front ARB and lower coast lock help force rotation on entry without destabilizing the rear on throttle application mid-corner.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Variante del Parco): brake late, trail hard — front-engine weight transfer helps bite, but don't overslow; carry speed to the apex kerb.
• Turn 6 (Quercia) and the Turn 8–11 sequence: this is where rotation is won or lost — use the aggressive diff coast setting to rotate the car early on turn-in, get back to power progressively to avoid snap oversteer.
• Turn 14 (final corner, Curvone) onto the front straight: traction is king — straighten the wheel as early as possible, exit wide to maximize straight-line speed into the long back straight.
• Misano rewards minimal steering correction and smooth inputs through the fast middle sector (Turns 9–11) — any scrub there costs multiple tenths down the following straight.
• Brake duct and ABS settings matter less for one-lap pace — focus entirely on late apex trail-braking into Turns 1, 8, and the final chicane for maximum attack.
