DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 9 (of 10 clicks) — max front grip for rotation into slow/medium corners
• Rear Wing: 8 (of 10 clicks) — high downforce for Buenos Aires' long sweepers, slight drag trade accepted
• Downforce Level: Qualifying-max configuration
• Brake Ducts: F: 2 / R: 3 (single lap, minimal cooling need)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Buenos Aires No.6 combines long, high-speed sweepers (Turns 3-5) with tight, low-speed chicanes — run high front wing with aggressive low-speed ride height to maximize rotation on entry, but keep rear ride height slightly elevated to prevent snap oversteer when unloading over the circuit's mid-corner bumps at full commitment.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Senna Curve-style right-hander): Late-brake deep, trail into apex — the Formula Edge rewards aggressive front-end bite here; carry min speed higher than feels natural.
• Turns 3-5 (fast sweeping esses): Commit flat or near-flat with high wing setup; a lifted throttle here costs more than any other sector — trust the aero.
• Final chicane: This is where lap time is won — late apex, get on power early even if it means slightly wider exit, as the long back straight amplifies any traction deficit.
• Watch rear stability over kerbs at Turn 8-9 — the stiffer rear ARB setup means aggressive kerb use can unsettle rotation; use just the inside wheel, not full commitment over kerb.
• Qualifying lap priority: sacrifice Turn 1 entry speed slightly for a cleaner, earlier throttle application exiting onto the main straight — this track's lap time lives in exit speed, not entry bravado.
