• Brake Bias: F 54% / R 46%

DRIVETRAIN

• Fuel Map: Map 3 — balanced power delivery with slightly leaner mixture for race-distance consistency; switch to Map 5 (rich, full power) for late-race attack laps or overtakes.

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (of 6 clicks)
• Rear Wing: 5 (of 6 levels) — run high for rear stability under Adelaide's fast direction changes and braking zones
• Downforce Level: High-medium balance, biased rearward
• Brake Ducts: F 4 / R 3 (street circuit heat management, avoid overheating on long braking zones)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Adelaide's bumpy street-circuit surface and heavy braking zones (Turns 1, 8, 14) punish a car that snaps on throttle exit — running slightly more rear wing than a pure laptime optimum, combined with a strong coast-side diff lock (0.65), keeps the 720S planted on corner entry and stable enough to get aggressive on the power early without triggering oversteer over kerbs.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (long right-hander after start/finish straight): brake late but progressively — trail-brake deep to rotate the nose, as the 720S's strong front-end grip rewards commitment here; carrying too much speed will push wide onto the dirty outside line.
• Turns 8-9 (chicane): this is where lap time is won or lost — sacrifice a fraction of entry speed for a clean, early exit since the following straight is long; running over the kerbs aggressively here unsettles the rear, so ride the inside kerb with the left-side wheels only.
• Turn 11-12 (fast flowing esses): minimum lift, use the car's strong mid-corner rotation to link the sequence — small, early steering inputs prevent understeer washing out through the middle.
• Final corner onto main straight: traction is king — get the
