DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 4 (clicks, scale 1–6)
• Rear Wing: 5 (clicks, scale 1–8)
• Downforce Level: Medium-high — biased toward rear to offset front-heavy platform under late braking
• Brake Ducts: Front 4 / Rear 3 (scale 1–6)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 296 GT3's front-heavy weight distribution combined with aggressive late braking will overload the front tyres by mid-stint — running slightly higher rear wing and firmer front ARB keeps rotation sharp into the Schumacher-S and Motodrom without frying front-left temps by lap 15.

TRACK GUIDE

• Motodrom (T1): brake deep but straight-line only before turn-in — this car's front turbo-loaded weight transfer punishes trail-braking into the first apex; get it stopped early, rotate on exit throttle.
• Schumacher-S (T3): needs a stable, planted front — use the firm front ARB to resist mid-corner push, carry minimum speed through the direction change rather than max entry speet.
• Dunlop hairpin (T5) and Bit-Kurve (T11): these are the lap-defining traction zones — get the car rotated early on entry so you can unwind the wheel and apply throttle in a straight line, exploiting the V6 torque without triggering TC2 cuts.
• Mercedes-Kurve (T7): long rear-loaded sweeper — this is where rear tyre deg accumulates fastest; avoid over-driving mid-corner speed here to preserve rears for the final stint.
• Veedol chicane (T13): sacrifice a fraction of entry speed to protect exit — the run to Shell (T16) braking z
