McLaren 720S GT3 Evo

TYRES

• Slick, Dry Compound. Front: 26.8 PSI, Rear: 26.3 PSI (cold, accounting for hot qualifying stint pressure rise to optimal 27.0–28.0 PSI window). Tyre blanket temp: 80°C (front & rear). Optimal operating window for max grip: 85–95°C.

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 1, Rear Wing: 3, Downforce Level: Low (drag-minimized for straight-line speed). Brake Ducts: Front 2, Rear 3.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Monza rewards minimum-drag setups above all else — the 720S Evo's chassis has enough mechanical grip via diff and spring balance to handle the chicanes without needing wing; every extra click of rear wing costs more on the two straights and Parabolica exit than it gains in chicane stability, so keep the wing low (3) and lean on a tight coast diff lock and forward-biased brake bias to rotate the car into Roggia and Ascari instead.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1/2 (Rettifilo): Brake as late as physically possible from 340+ km/h — trail brake deep into T1, use the flat rear diff lock to keep the car stable over the chicane kerbs; don't lift early, the 720S's strong front brake bias helps rotation here.
• T3 (Curva Grande): Taken essentially flat in quali trim with low rear wing — commit full throttle early, trust the low-drag setup for a higher minimum speed carry.
• T4/5 (Roggia): Second heavy braking zone — brake slightly earlier than Rettifilo due to bumpier entry, get back to power early exiting T5 onto the Lesmo approach.
• Lesmo 1/2: Lesmo 1 needs strong front-end bite on entry (trust the front ARB/spring balance); Lesmo 2 exit traction is critical — this feeds the full straight to Ascari, so prioritize a clean, early throttle application over outright entry speed.
• Ascari chicane: Flat, stable ride over the kerbs is essential — the stiffer front-rear balance keeps the car settled; carry as much speed as possible since it leads into the long run to Parabolica.
• Parabolica: The lap-defining corner — late apex, patient throttle application, maximize exit speed onto the pit straight; a tenth g

TYRES

• Dry compound (Dry 1). Front: 26.8 PSI cold, Rear: 26.3 PSI cold. Blanket temp: 80°C F/R.
• Optimal operating window for max grip: 80–95°C (tread temp). Monza is low-downforce/high-speed — watch rear temps dropping below 75°C on long straights (Parabolica exit to Rettifilo); race-start out-lap must build temp through Lesmos before committing to full attack at T1.

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 5
• TC2: 2
• ABS: 5
• Engine Braking / Brake Migration: Medium-low engine braking (coast lockup risk into T1 and Roggia at endurance fuel loads)
• Brake Bias: 54.5% (front), adjustable -1.0% as fuel burns and rears get a bigger working range

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 1
• Rear Wing: 2
• Downforce level: Minimum — Monza is a top-speed track, straight-line efficiency prioritized over cornering load
• Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (race distance — manage brake temps over Rettifilo/Roggia repeated heavy stops)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 720S's long wheelbase and soft low-wing rear platform make it prone to snapping on throttle exit at Ascari and Parabolica under fuel-heavy conditions — the slightly higher coast diff lock (0.55) and 4-click rear ARB stabilize rotation into chicanes without punishing Parabolica traction; do NOT run under 2 clicks rear wing or the car becomes undriveable on cold tyres at race start.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1/2 Rettifilo: brake as late as the 100m board, trail into the first apex — the 720S's strong front initial bite rewards late aggressive braking but respect fading pad temps lap 15+ with this low duct setting.
• Curva Grande (T3): taken near-flat in quali trim, but on worn tyres in the race lift fractionally — rear steps if you carry 100% throttle on old rears.
• Roggia (T4/5): same braking discipline as T1 — don't overslow, the chicane rewards a straight-line stab and early direction change rather than a late apex.
• Lesmo 1/2: sacrifice Lesmo 1 entry speed slightly to protect front tyres for Lesmo 2 rotation — Lesmo 2 exit speed is worth more down the back straight than Lesmo 1 minimum speed.
• Ascari & Parabolica are where the lap is won: stay flat and committed over the Ascari kerbs (stable rear platform does the work), and on Parabolica, late apex and progressive throttle application maximizes the run onto the pit straight — this is the biggest lap time corner on the circuit.
