DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing Angle: 14°
• Rear Wing Angle: 11°
• Ride Height Front: 28 mm
• Ride Height Rear: 52 mm
• Downforce Level: Low-medium. Trimmed for Kemmel and Blanchimont while keeping enough rear load for Eau Rouge.
• Brake Ducts: Minimum opening. Single lap on fresh brakes, so run for drag reduction.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Eau Rouge/Raidillon decides this setup. The 52 mm rear ride height with a soft 24,000 N/m rear ARB keeps the rear platform compliant under the compression so it doesn't snap loose at the crest, while the 28 mm front keeps the aero platform sharp. If the rear steps out at the top of Raidillon, add 1–2° rear wing before touching anything else. Don't soften the front to cure it.

TRACK GUIDE

• La Source (T1): Brake from the 100 m board with a hard initial hit, then trail off. Use the inside kerb for rotation and get the car straight early. Late throttle here costs time all the way up through Eau Rouge and Kemmel.
• Eau Rouge/Raidillon: Commit flat with a tight line. Clip the left kerb at the entry, aim for the compression apex, then place the car to the left at the crest. Small, early inputs only, because big corrections at the top unsettle the rear.
• Les Combes (T5/6): Brake late from Kemmel, but keep the car straight. Downshift quickly and use the right-hand kerb on entry for rotation. Stay patient on throttle exit, since the left-hander sets up the run to Malmedy.
• Pouhon (T12/13): Brake lightly, then carry maximum speed through the double-apex. Keep the front loaded on entry and wait for the second apex before throttle. Rear stability matters here.
• Blanchimont and Bus Stop: Take Blanchimont flat and centred for the planted feel. Then brake late for the Bus Stop and attack both kerbs. Exit speed out of the chicane is the last tenth of the lap.
