Porsche 911 GT3 R (992)

TYRES

• Compound: Dry — C7 (medium, race compound for degradation management)
• Front pressure: 27.0 PSI cold
• Rear pressure: 26.5 PSI cold
• Tyre blanket temp: 80°C (standard ACC blanket setting)
• Optimal operating window for max grip: 85–100°C (core temp), with peak grip around 90–95°C. Avoid prolonged running above 105°C due to accelerated thermal degradation on this high-traction, high-ambient-temp circuit.

• Engine Map: 3 (balance power delivery with fuel/tyre conservation over race distance)
• Brake Bias: 54.5%
• Brake Driver (pedal sensitivity): 80%

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 6
• Rear Wing: 8
• Brake Ducts Front: 4
• Brake Ducts Rear: 3
• Downforce philosophy: lean into high-downforce setup — Hungaroring rewards grip over straight-line speed; minimal drag penalty on main straight.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Porsche's rear-engine pendulum effect is most dangerous in the T3-T6 valley section and T11 hairpin exit — the stiffer rear ARB (6500 N/m) combined with higher rear ride height (62mm) and strong coast diff lock (0.6) stabilises entry rotation without inducing snap oversteer mid-corner; resist the urge to soften the rear for more rotation, as this car punishes aggressive rear ARB reduction with sudden exit snaps under power, especially as rear tyres degrade past lap 15-18.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Late braking is rewarded here, but brake in a straight line — trail braking into the medium-right compromises T2 entry speed; prioritize getting the car rotated early for the traction zone on exit.
• T3-T6 Valley: Commit fully to entry — lift-and-coast kills rotation on this car. Use the stiff rear ARB setup to carry more min-speed through T4's downhill right; this is where aggressive drivers gain massive time over cautious ones.
• T11 Hairpin: The most critical traction zone on the lap — unwind the wheel progressively and get on power early rather than late-apex-and-floor; this feeds the long back straight and a poor exit costs 3-4 tenths minimum.
• T14 Chicane: Don't sacrifice exit speed for a tidy entry — sacrifice entry speed slightly to protect exit onto the main straight, where the Porsche's torque curve rewards a clean exit over a fast apex.
• Tyre management: Rear-left will degrade fastest due to track's left-hand bias in the valley section — manage mid-stint by being slightly less aggressive on rear-left loading through T2 and T6 if doing a long stint.
