McLaren 720S GT3 Evo

TYRES

• Slick, Medium compound — F 1.98 bar / R 1.95 bar (hot target 27–29°C optimal window across tread for peak grip; cold blanket set 80°C F/R). Race stint deg management: start slightly low in range to offset pressure build under aggressive driving.

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 6
• TC2: 3
• ABS: 5
• Brake Pressure: 96%
• Brake Bias: F 54% / R 46%

DRIVETRAIN

• Fuel Map: Map 3 — balanced mixture, good driveability with moderate fuel saving for full race stint management; switch to Map 5 (lean) on stabilised long runs, Map 1 (rich) only for overtakes/defense.
• Gear Ratios:
• 1st: 2.917
• 2nd: 2.238
• 3rd: 1.840
• 4th: 1.560
• 5th: 1.348
• 6th: 1.185
• Final Drive: 3.750

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 3 (of 5 clicks) — moderate front load to match aggressive turn-in
• Rear Wing: 6 (of 8 levels) — high rear stability required, works with mechanical setup to resist snap on power
• Downforce Level: High-Medium overall balance, rear-biased
• Brake Ducts: F 4 / R 3 (medium cooling — Cascais has heavy braking zones but flowing sections allow tyre temp buildup)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Cascais's fast, undulating Turns 1, 5, and the Parabolica-style final sector punish any rear instability under load — the stiffer rear spring and high coast lock are non-negotiable here, as this car's snap-oversteer tendency on the crest exits will end your race if under-damped; prioritize rear platform control over ultimate front bite.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Café do Sol): late, trail-braked entry rewards aggressive brake release — carry speed to the apex, use full kerb on exit, rear diff coast setting keeps it stable.
• Turn 5/6 esses: minimum lift, commit through the compression — suspension travel here is critical, avoid bottoming with the 60/65mm ride height compromise.
• Turn 8 (uphill blind crest): brake in a straight line before turn-in; car goes light — do not trail brake into this corner or you'll snap the rear.
• Final corner onto main straight: traction zone is the lap-time maker — progressive throttle application exploiting the power diff lock (0.35) to prevent wheelspin on exit.
• Tyre deg management: manage rear left especially in long stints due to
