DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing/Splitter: N/A (fixed splitter)
• Rear Wing: 9 (high downforce, Hungaroring needs no top speed compromise)
• Downforce Level: Maximum
• Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (moderate, tyre wear irrelevant, keep brakes in window for one lap)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 720S snaps on power when the rear is too stiff, so the rear ARB (62 N/mm) and rear springs (142 N/mm) are deliberately softer than the front. This gives rotation on entry via the stiffer front without making the rear nervous at T11 exit. If the rear steps out on power, drop the rear ARB before adding TC. The 90 Nm preload and 0.4 power ramp keep the car stable on the aggressive off-throttle moments through the valley.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake late from the main straight, but keep the car straight and settled. Trail the brake lightly to rotate, then be patient with the throttle. A tidy exit sets up the whole run to T2.
• T2 to T6 valley: Commit to the entries and use the kerbs, but stay smooth on the downhill T4 right where rear stability is critical. Don't overdrive the entry, because T6/T7 traction at the bottom pays back much more than a tenth lost earlier.
• T8/T9 uphill complex: Carry speed and use the downforce. Rotate early on lift, then squeeze the throttle progressively and keep the rear planted.
• T11 hairpin: This is where the lap is won. Brake in a straight line, rotate with a short trail-brake, and get the car pointed before you open the throttle. Be smooth in the first 30% of throttle to avoid power oversteer, then go full once the car is straight.
• T14 chicane: Don't sacrifice exit speed. Take a slightly conservative line through the chicane to carry full throttle onto the main straight.

SUSPENSION

• Ride Height: 56 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 165 N/mm / 165 N/mm (165,000 N/m each)

• ARB: 70 N/mm (70,000 N/m)
• Diff Preload: 110 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.4
• Diff Power: 0.3

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front wing: N/A (fixed splitter)
• Rear wing: 9 (high downforce, as the 720S needs rear stability and Hungaroring rewards it)
• Downforce level: Maximum, with no top-speed compromise needed on this circuit
• Brake ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (open enough for race-distance brake temps)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 720S snaps on power when the rear is too stiff, so the softer rear springs and ARB, plus 110 Nm preload, keep the rear planted out of T11 and T14. Treat TC as a safety net rather than a crutch. If the rear steps out at the T11 hairpin exit, soften the rear ARB one step before adding TC.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake late but straighten the car before turn-in, as this is a heavy braking zone with a traction-critical exit. Keep a slight trail on the brakes to rotate, then get the throttle down early but progressively.
• T2 into the T3-T6 valley: Turn-in at T2 sets up the whole sequence. Sacrifice a little entry speed for a clean apex, and stay committed through the downhill T4 right where rear stability is key, with no lifting mid-corner.
• T6/T7 and T8/T9: Use the kerbs aggressively but unload the car before the rear loads up. Rotate on the brakes into T6/T7, then stay patient on throttle through the uphill T8/T9 complex.
• T11 Hairpin: This is where the lap is won. Brake deep, rotate hard, and wait for the car to straighten before squeezing throttle. A clean exit carries speed down the back straight.
• T14 Chicane: Don't over-attack the entry. Prioritise exit speed onto the main straight, using the kerb on the left but keeping the car settled.
