KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Vantage's front end is naturally strong on turn-in but nervous on the Acque Minerali compressions and Tamburello kerbs — running slightly higher front ride height (53mm) with firmer front-slow bump than typical prevents the splitter from smacking down and losing front stability mid-corner, while the softer rear ARB (4) keeps rear planted for Tosa/Rivazza traction without inducing snap oversteer on throttle.

TRACK GUIDE

• Tamburello (T1): Brake late but straight-line only, get the car settled before the kerb — Vantage's front will dive if you trail-brake into the chicane, costing rotation.
• Tosa (T5): This is the biggest lap time zone — brake deep, rotate hard on entry, get on power early even if slightly wide on exit; the long back straight punishes any traction loss here.
• Piratella (T8): Brake in a straight line before turn-in; car pitches forward under heavy braking uphill, so release brake progressively to keep front tyres loaded through apex.
• Acque Minerali (T9/10): Don't attack the compression flat out — a small lift before the dip keeps the car from bottoming out and skipping wide on exit kerb.
• Variante Alta (T13): Commit flat if you carried correct speed through Rivazza esses beforehand; any hesitation here costs more than the corner itself — it's a confidence/setup-trust corner.
• Rivazza 1&2 into Traguardo: Sacrifice Traguardo entry speed to protect Rivazza 2 exit — the run to the line is longer and traction-limited, this is where most of the lap is won or lost.
