DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 8 (of 10)
• Rear Wing: 7 (of 10)
• Downforce Level: High-medium, biased for rotation over straight-line speed
• Brake Ducts: N/A (not adjustable on this car)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Cascavel's tight, low-speed infield combined with the Formula Trainer's sensitivity to front-end grip means running slightly stiffer front ARB and higher front wing than baseline pays off massively in rotation through the twisty middle sector — sacrifice a bit of top-speed stability for corner-entry bite, since this is a qualifying lap and rear stability matters less than raw rotation speed.

TRACK GUIDE

• Main straight into Turn 1 is the biggest braking zone — brake as late as possible, trail brake deep to rotate the car since the corner tightens on entry.
• The infield chicane sequence rewards aggressive kerb usage — attack kerbs with the inside wheel to shorten the path, but keep steering inputs smooth to avoid unsettling the rear on exit.
• Traction out of the final corner onto the front straight is critical — get on power early but progressively, as this Formula Trainer's power-to-grip ratio can easily spin the rears if power is applied too early or aggressively.
• Mid-corner speed through the fast sweepers is where lap time is won — carry min speed high rather than over-slowing, since the car's aero and mechanical grip reward committed, smooth inputs.
• Watch track limits on the exit kerbs in the second sector — Cascavel's layout has tight track-out points where running wide costs significant time re-gaining the racing line.
