DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 3 (of 5 clicks)
• Rear Wing: 6 (of 8 clicks)
• Downforce Level: Medium-High — Spa needs straight-line speed through Kemmel/Blanchimont, but rear stability through Eau Rouge/Pouhon demands wing
• Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (minimal, cold track evening temps assumed moderate)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Spa punishes low rear wing at Eau Rouge-Raidillon and Pouhon — the 296 GT3's front-heavy nature means you need just enough rear wing to trust full-throttle commitment through Eau Rouge without snap oversteer at the crest, while keeping drag low enough for a strong Kemmel/Kidney Straight speed into Les Combes.

TRACK GUIDE

• Eau Rouge-Raidillon: flat in quali trim if committed — stay full throttle, let the car track slightly left-right naturally, don't lift or correct mid-compression or you'll unsettle the rear on the crest.
• Les Combes (T5): brake hard in a straight line before turn-in, late apex the right-hander to set up the left — compromise entry slightly to maximize exit onto the back straight.
• Pouhon: a committed double-left taken almost flat — trust the aero, smooth steering input, carrying min speed here is worth more than anywhere else on the lap.
• Campus/Fagnes-Stavelot sequence: rhythm section — carry momentum, avoid overdriving the direction changes, small inputs keep the rear planted.
• Bus Stop Chicane: late, aggressive brake into first right, sacrifice a clean apex for a straight exit onto the pit straight — traction here defines your speed down the full front straight.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 2:18.900 — theoretical optimal based on GT3-spec Ferrari 296 pace, dry/green track, qualifying fuel and tyres.
