Ferrari 488 GT3 Evo (2020)

TYRES

• Dry compound (soft recommended for qualifying)
• Front: 27.3 PSI cold → target hot window 26.5–27.0 PSI
• Rear: 27.0 PSI cold → target hot window 26.0–26.5 PSI
• Tyre blanket temp: 80°C (standard ACC preheat)
• Optimal operating window for max grip: 85–100°C (peak slip grip ~90°C) — qualifying lap should be run with tyres already in this window off out-lap, avoid over-pushing into 105°C+ which drops peak grip sharply.
• Note: reference lap was 30°C air / 38°C track ("fast" grip). If your session is cooler, drop both ends by 0.3–0.5 PSI to compensate for lower track temp and keep tyres in the same hot operating window.

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 5
• Rear wing: 6
• Brake ducts: Front 3, Rear 3
• Downforce balance biased rearward slightly to stabilize Esses and Carousel exit at the cost of top speed on Back Straight — acceptable trade for qualifying lap.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 488 GT3 Evo's front-biased weight transfer bites hard into the Esses and Carousel under trail-braking — run slightly more rear ARB softness than front to let the rear rotate without snapping, and keep diff power locking moderate (0.6) to avoid wheelspin out of the Carousel's banked, traction-critical exit.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 (The 90): Brake late but progressive — car carries speed into Esses, so prioritize a clean rotation over outright late braking here.
• Esses (T2-3-4): Commit fully, minimal steering correction — trust rear stability setup; a lifted throttle here costs more than a slightly wide line.
• Carousel (T5): Stay banked high, roll speed through mid-corner, get on power early but progressively — traction here defines Back Straight top speed.
• T11 (after Back Straight): Heaviest braking zone on track — brake in a straight line, release pressure progressively to rotate the car without locking the rears.
• The Boot (T10/10A): Sacrifice a tenth on entry to protect exit speed onto the Heel/Toe and main straight — exit speed here compounds over the whole straight.
