// Race · Dry
TYRES
- Slick — Medium compound. Front: 1.98 bar / Rear: 1.93 bar (hot targets). Cold set: F 1.85 bar / R 1.80 bar. Optimal operating window: 80–95°C (peak grip at ~88°C core temp). Blanket temp (if used): 80°C.
ELECTRONICS
- TC1: 4 (aggressive rear rotation with safety net for kerb-riding)
- TC2: 2
- ABS: 4
- Brake Pressure: 96%
- Engine Braking / Brake Magic: Medium-low setting (reduces rear instability on trail-brake into slow corners)
- Brake Bias: F: 56% / R: 44%
DRIVETRAIN
- Fuel Map: Map 3 — balanced power delivery with moderate fuel saving, allows aggressive throttle application without excess consumption over race stints
- Gear Ratios:
- 1st: 3.20
- 2nd: 2.45

AERO
- Front Splitter: Level 6/10
- Rear Wing: 7/10 (moderate-high downforce for Cascais' fast direction changes)
- Brake Ducts: F 4 / R 3 (moderate cooling, avoids overheating on long braking zones without sacrificing tyre temp retention)
KEY SETUP NOTE
- Cascais punishes cars that can't rotate quickly through Turns 1, 5, and the fast uphill esses — the rear ARB and diff coast setting here are intentionally softer than base GT3 setups to allow controlled oversteer rotation on entry without snapping, critical for an aggressive late-braking style while preserving rear tyre life over race distance.
TRACK GUIDE
- Turn 1 (Curva do Autódromo): Late braking rewards trail-braking deep with high front bite — use the soft-ish front ARB to rotate the nose early, then get on power progressively to protect rear tyres.
- Esses (Turns 3-5): Commitment through the fast uphill-downhill sequence is where lap time is won — minimize steering correction, trust the aero platform, and carry momentum rather than late-apex each corner individually.
- Turn 8 (Parabólica): This long, high
