DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 7 (clicks), Rear Wing: 8 (clicks), Downforce Level: medium-high setting for Goiânia's sweeping section priority, Brake Ducts: 2 (front) / 2 (rear) — moderate cooling for sustained braking loads

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The long sweeping right-hander demands a rear-biased aero/mechanical balance to resist snap oversteer under sustained lateral load — slightly stiffer rear ARB and higher rear wing than usual trades a touch of straight-line speed for the confidence to carry full throttle through that complex, which is where this track's lap time is truly made.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 hairpin: brake late but in a straight line — the Formula Trainer's low-speed grip is modest, so trail-brake only slightly and prioritize a clean rotation for strong exit traction onto the following section.
• T2/T3 S-section: commit early with a smooth steering input; mid-corner stability from the diff coast setting is critical here — lift-off oversteer will punish hesitation.
• Main sweeping curve: this is the lap-defining corner. Build speed progressively, trust the rear aero, and stay full throttle once committed — any lift costs multiple tenths.
• Chicane: focus on braking stability over the kerbs; use minimal kerb riding on entry, more aggressive on exit where traction matters more than curb absorption.
• Final hairpin: this is the most important traction zone on the lap — get the car
