DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 2 clicks (low-mid), Rear wing: 5 clicks (mid-high downforce for Blanchimont/Pouhon stability), Brake ducts: Front 4 / Rear 3 (single lap, minimal thermal concern, favor cooling only enough to avoid lockup fade)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The GX's high center of gravity and soft factory-like chassis balance make Eau Rouge/Raidillon the defining corner of the lap — err rear ARB and rear ride height slightly stiffer/lower than instinct suggests, sacrificing a bit of Bus Stop chicane compliance, because a snap at Raidillon costs 2+ seconds while chicane instability costs only tenths.

TRACK GUIDE

• La Source: brake hard in a straight line before turn-in, this car doesn't like trail-braking rotation; get on power early for Kemmel run, exit traction matters more than entry speed.
• Eau Rouge/Raidillon: commit flat if you carried enough speed from Kemmel entry; any lift mid-compression unsettles the rear — stay full throttle and trust the setup's rear stability.
• Les Combes: this is where time is made — brake later than feels comfortable, use the front grip built into this setup to rotate hard on entry, get the car pointed early for the second apex.
• Pouhon: treat as one long committed arc, trust mid-corner front grip, don't lift for the second apex, the aero platform is planted enough to carry speed through both.
• Blanchimont into Bus Stop: this near-flat kink punishes any nervousness — stay smooth on the wheel, then brake hard and use the kerbs aggressively at Bus Stop, the stiffer rear settings allow you to ride them without unsettling the car.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 2:19.800 — theoretical optimal based on sector best times from clean single-lap attac
