Ferrari F2004

TYRES

• Compound: Slick Soft (S)
• Front Pressure: 18.5 PSI
• Rear Pressure: 17.0 PSI
• Camber: Front -3.8° / Rear -1.5°
• Toe: Front -0.08° (toe-out) / Rear +0.12° (toe-in)
• Optimal Operating Temp: 85–105°C (peak grip window for Slick S)
• Tyre Blankets: not available in AC Evo

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 3 (on a 0–10 scale; low intervention for maximum rotation, enough to protect exit from T12 and T6)
• ABS: none (not permitted on this car)
• Engine Braking: not adjustable
• Brake Bias: 57.0% front (adjusted in the Brake Bias line below)

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing Angle: 24.0°
• Rear Wing Angle: 20.0°
• Ride Height: Front 28 mm / Rear 52 mm
• Downforce Level: medium-high (Road Atlanta rewards grip through the Esses and T12, but the long back straight limits how much drag you can carry)
• Brake Ducts: 55% open (hot lap only, so brake temps are not a concern; the lower setting reduces drag)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The lap is decided at T10A/10B and T12. The front-biased brake bias (57.0%) with a 94% torque multiplier gives you a late, committed stab into the chicane while the soft rear ARB (24,000 N/m) and toe-in rear keep the car planted on trail-brake release. That same rear stability lets you get on the power early at T12 without the car snapping.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake late from the main straight and trail the brakes deep to the apex. Clip the inside kerb and let the car rotate on the brakes rather than adding steering angle.
• T2/T3: Treat it as one low-speed complex. Sacrifice the T2 entry slightly to straighten the exit and carry speed into T3. Use the kerb on T3 for extra rotation and a clean drive out.
• T5 Esses: Stay committed and smooth. The F2004's downforce rewards a flat, flowing line, so avoid abrupt steering inputs that unsettle the rear. Use the kerbs only where they don't unload the car.
• T6: Slow the car early enough to get the rotation done before the apex, then get the power down to carry maximum speed onto the back straight.
• T10A/10B and T12: These are the biggest time gains. Brake at the limit for the T10A chicane, release progressively, and hit the kerbs cleanly. Rotate hard at T12, get the power down as early as TC allows, and carry the extra exit speed down the whole main straight.
