Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992)

TYRES

• Compound: HyperCar (HC)
• Front: 30.5 PSI cold start target (hot target 30.5–31.0 PSI), Rear: 30.5 PSI cold start target (hot target 31.0–31.5 PSI)
• Camber: Front -3.4°, Rear -2.4°
• Toe: Front +0.05° out, Rear +0.15° in
• Optimal operating temperature: 85–95 °C (peak grip ~90 °C)
• No tyre blankets in AC Evo. Tyre wear irrelevant, so pressures are set for maximum single-lap grip. Reference lap was green track at 26 °C air / 30 °C track, so pressures are kept close to the logged hot values and the rear is nudged up slightly for a fully rubbered track on the push lap.

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 2 (aggressive attack, allows rotation while still protecting the Tosa and Rivazza exits)
• ESC: 0 (off, maximum rotation)
• ABS: not applicable, no ABS adjustment on this car
• Engine braking: not applicable, no adjustment
• Brake bias: 59.0% front
• Active aero (DRS): driver-controlled, open on the main straight

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 62 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 190000 N/m / 190000 N/m
• ARB: 5
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 100%
• Brake Bias: 59.0%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 74 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 175000 N/m / 175000 N/m
• ARB: 4
• Diff Preload: 40 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.5
• Diff Power: 0.4

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front wing: stock position, maximum front aero balance
• Rear wing: maximum available setting (high-downforce position)
• Downforce level: maximum. Imola has no long flat-out sections after the DRS main straight, and stability through Tamburello, Acque Minerali and Variante Alta outweighs top speed.
• Brake ducts: stock/open, tyre wear is irrelevant, so brakes are cooled but tyre temperature comes first.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Run the rear ride height 12 mm above the front to control the rear-engine pendulum effect, but keep the dampers firm enough on slow bump and rebound to stay stable over the Tamburello and Variante Alta kerbs and the Acque Minerali compression. Without that control the car will bounce off the kerbs and the rear will snap on throttle at Tosa and Rivazza.

TRACK GUIDE

• Tamburello (T1): brake only briefly from the DRS straight, then take the kerbs gently with the car settled. Stability here carries speed through Villeneuve, so don't over-attack the kerb.
• Tosa (T5): brake late in a straight line, rotate with trail braking, and apply the throttle progressively. TC 2 absorbs a little wheelspin, and the exit determines your speed along the back straight.
• Piratella (T8) and Acque Minerali (T9/10): the car pitches under braking at Piratella, so stay patient on the brakes. In the dip at Acque Minerali, hold the line over the compression and use the kerb on exit without a big slide.
• Variante Alta (T13): commit fully and flat. Any lift unsettles the car and the rear.
• Rivazza 1 and 2 (T16/17) and the Traguardo chicane (T18): sacrifice the Traguardo chicane for a clean Rivazza exit. Brake late for Rivazza 1, rotate hard, and get on the power early to carry speed onto the main straight.
