TYRES
- Compound: Dry (Medium) — F 2.00 bar / R 1.95 bar hot target; cold set F 1.90 bar / R 1.85 bar
- Tyre blanket temp: 80°C
- Optimal operating window: 85–100°C for peak grip; avoid exceeding 110°C to limit degradation

- Brake Pressure: 96%
- Brake Bias: F: 54% / R: 46%
DRIVETRAIN
- Fuel Map: Map 2 — balanced power delivery with moderate fuel saving, used for most race stints; switch to Map 3 (lean, -3% power, +fuel economy) on stable track position laps to extend stint length

AERO
- Front Splitter: 4 (of 6 clicks)
- Rear Wing: 6 (of 9 levels)
- Downforce balance: slightly rear-biased for Campsa stability
- Brake Ducts: F 3 / R 2 (of 6)
KEY SETUP NOTE
- The M6 GT3's longer wheelbase and heavier front end need the stiffer front ARB (120 N/m) and firm front wheel rate to control aggressive late-braking dive into T1 and T13, while the slightly softer rear plus mid-level rear wing (6) keep the car planted through Campsa's banked load without killing rotation in the Renault S-complex.
TRACK GUIDE
- T1 Elf: brake hard and late in a straight line, trail off smoothly — rotate the rear with throttle modulation on exit to protect traction into the uphill section.
- T3 Renault: carry max speed with minimal steering correction; the M6's stability under load rewards committing flat or near-flat if the rear platform is settled.
- T10 Campsa: stay full throttle if possible — rear downforce and damper stability are critical here; any instability costs multiple tenths through T11.
- T13/14 hairpin complex: late apex, prioritize rotation over entry speed — exit traction onto the pit straight is where lap time is won.
- T16 New Holland: carry speed through onto the front straight — small lift only if the car snaps; otherwise commit for maximum straight-line speed.
