KEY SETUP NOTE

• Brasilia's long back straight combined with heavy Turn 1 braking demands a rear-biased mechanical setup (softer rear ARB, slightly more coast diff) to keep the rear planted under trail-braking, since the Formula Trainer's low overall downforce makes it snap-oversteer prone on aggressive direction changes — prioritize mid-corner rear stability over outright front bite.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (end of main straight): late braking is rewarded here — brake at the 100m board, trail brake deep to rotate the car, but respect rear stability as this is the primary overtaking zone
• Esses (Turns 2-4): commit to a smooth, high-minimum-speed line; carrying momentum through here is worth more than any single apex, small steering inputs prevent tyre scrub
• Final corner traction: exit is critical for straight-line speed down the front straight — get on power early even if it costs a slightly wider exit, diff power setting helps put power down cleanly
• Kerb usage: Brasilia's kerbs are aggressive — use them sparingly on entry, more liberally on exit to open the corner radius without unsettling the car
• Tyre management: rear-left will degrade fastest due to the anti-clockwise-heavy load in the esses; back off marginally mid-stint through Turns 2-3 to preserve rear grip for the final laps

THEORETICAL BEST LAP
