DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (clicks, near max aggressive)
• Rear Wing: 6 (of typical 1–8 scale, high — GT3R benefits from extra rear stability)
• Downforce Level: High-biased rear, balanced for Esses + back straight compromise
• Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (minimal, qualifying lap — no thermal concern)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 992 GT3 R's rear-engine polar inertia makes T10A chicane braking and T5 Esses the lap's defining moments — running higher rear ride height (65mm) with stiffer rear ARB (8) sacrifices a fraction of rear mechanical grip in slow corners but prevents the pendulum snap under heavy trail-braking into T10A, which is where qualifying laps are most often binned.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Carry momentum from the front straight, trail brake deep into the medium-right — car rotates well due to high coast lock diff; don't lift early.
• T2/T3 complex: Sacrifice min speed slightly for a clean, early exit — this feeds directly into the run to T5.
• T5 Esses: Commit fully flat or near-flat; the stiffer rear ARB and higher rear ride height keep the rear planted — any hesitation here costs 2-3 tenths through the whole section.
• T6: Late apex for a straight-line exit onto the back straight — this is a traction zone, get on power early even if it costs the apex.
• T10A/10B chicane: This is the biggest time-gain/loss zone on the lap. Brake in a straight line, very late, trust the front end — ABS level 4 and 54.5% front bias give stability without killing rotation for 10B.
• T12: Late apex, prioritize exit traction over entry speed — full throttle application here determines main straight speed and potential overtakes/lap time.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:21.900 — theoretical optimal sector composite, dry track, maximum attack, no mistakes (AC Evo physics simulation estimate)
