AERO
- Front Ride Height: 75 mm (as low as regs/kerb strikes allow for Paddock Hill compression)
- Rear Ride Height: 80 mm (slight rake for rear stability through Clearways)
- Downforce: N/A (no adjustable wings on Academy)
- Brake Ducts: N/A
KEY SETUP NOTE
- Maximum front ARB stiffness combined with slightly softer rear roll resistance sharpens turn-in at Druids and Graham Hill without destabilizing the rear on exit — critical since this car has no diff adjustment, so mechanical grip and geometry (camber/toe) are your only tools to manage traction out of Druids.
TRACK GUIDE
- Paddock Hill Bend: brake as late as possible in a straight line on the crest — trail brake gently into the downhill compression, let the chassis rotate naturally; don't overslow, this feeds Druids.
- Druids: sacrifice mid-corner speed for a clean, early throttle application — this is the most important traction zone on the lap, feeding the long Cooper Straight.
- Graham Hill Bend: trail brake deep, use the downhill camber to rotate the car; carry speed rather than pointing it — it's a momentum corner.
- McLaren Bend: committed, single input — treat it as flat-ish with a lift; lateral load builds progressively, stay smooth to protect exit speed onto Clearways.
- Clearways/Clark Curve: this is where the lap is won — carry as much minimum speed as possible on entry and build to full throttle progressively; a strong exit here maximizes speed across the start/finish line.
