DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: Position 2 (of 3), Rear Wing: 4 (of 6 clicks), Target balance: slightly rear-biased for high-speed Summit Point stability

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Summit Point's fast, flowing esses (Turns 5-7) punish any front-end vagueness — run the stiffer ARB/front wheel rate bias shown to control roll through direction changes, but keep rear diff coast relatively open (0.45) so aggressive late-braking into Turn 1 doesn't snap the rear loose on trail-brake rotation.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Hail Mary): Heaviest braking zone on track — brake late but straight-line, trail off smoothly to rotate the car; carrying too much speed here ruins the exit onto the back section
• Turns 5-7 (the esses): Minimal steering corrections needed — smooth, progressive inputs reward a stable platform; this is where lap time is won with a confident, committed line
• Turn 8 (NASCAR bend): Full commitment corner, stay right-side tires on the inside kerb lightly — avoid the aggressive curbing here as it unsettles rear stability under power
• Final corner onto front straight: Traction is everything — get the car straight early even if it costs a fraction of apex speed, since the long main straight magnifies any wheelspin losses
• Tyre management: Front-left and right-rear see the most thermal load through the esses; avoid excessive curb strikes at Turn 1 exit kerb to prevent early degradation over a race stint

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:28.400 — optimal sector composite, dry track, low fuel, fresh tyres (sim reference pace)

REAL WORLD RECORD

• No official record (Ligier JS P320 does not race at Summit Point in real-world competition)

SIM RACING RECORD

• 1:29.100 — iRacing, LMP3 class, dry
