DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 3
• Rear wing: 5
• Downforce level: Medium-low (trimmed for the long Dunlop and back-straight sections while keeping rear stability)
• Brake ducts: Front 1 / Rear 1 (single lap, so minimum cooling for lowest drag and fastest brake temp)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 992 is rear-engined, so aggressive late braking plus maximum rotation will load the rear heavily on corner entry. The 0.7 coast diff and stiff rear ARB hold the car stable on entry while the soft front and low front ride height give the rotation. Do not drop rear ride height below 58 mm. The 992 snaps oversteer on exit if the rear is too low, and on a single lap you cannot afford a TC2 intervention.

TRACK GUIDE

• Motodrom T1 / Yokohama-S: Brake as late as the 992 allows, trail brake deep to rotate the rear-engined car, then get early throttle on the exit. The run to the Castrol-S depends on this exit, so avoid sacrificing it for entry speed.
• Schumacher-S / Castrol-S (T3): Use aggressive turn-in with the soft front axle and ride the kerbs. Keep the car smooth through the direction change, because snap lift-off oversteer here costs more time than it gains.
• Dunlop hairpin (T5) and Bit-Kurve (T11): These are the main traction zones. Be patient with the throttle on exit, since the 992's rear traction is a strength, so squeeze it on progressively to avoid wheelspin and TC cut.
• Veedol chicane (T13) and Shell (T16): Prioritise exit speed from Veedol onto the long back straight, then brake hard and late into Shell, but stay stable under braking.
• Ford-Kurve (T18) into the stadium: Slow, tight right. Rotate early, get on power cleanly, and carry the speed through the final sector to the line, where the last tenths are won.
