DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (of 6 levels, aggressive front load)
• Rear Wing: 8 (of 10, high downforce for Imola's fast chicanes)
• Brake Ducts F/R: 3 / 3 (moderate cooling, short lap doesn't need max cooling margin)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Rear ride height at 65mm is the knife-edge value — any lower and the 992's high polar inertia causes snap oversteer over Acque Minerali's compressions and the Rivazza kerbs; this setup keeps it just stable enough to allow full-commitment rotation without sacrificing Tosa/Rivazza traction.

TRACK GUIDE

• Tamburello (T1): Brake late but straight-line only before turn-in; carry the kerbs flat with this suspension — don't lift mid-chicane or you unsettle the platform for Villeneuve.
• Tosa (T5): This is the biggest lap time zone — brake deep, rotate hard on entry, get on power early even if slightly wide, because the run to Piratella rewards traction over exit line precision.
• Piratella (T8): Trail-brake gently uphill; the front will feel light — don't add trail-brake aggression here, let the aero and front splitter setting do the work.
• Acque Minerali (T9/10): Treat as one committed motion — resist the urge to brake mid-chicane; the softer front ARB relative to rear keeps rotation without unsettling over the dip.
• Rivazza 1&2 and Traguardo: Sacrifice a tidy Traguardo entry for a clean Rivazza 2 exit every time — the run to the line is long and traction trumps chicane neatness.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:44.300 — theoretical optimal sector composite, dry track, full push lap, no error margin, AMS2 phys

TYRES

• Slick — Medium Compound
• Front: 1.98 bar / Rear: 1.93 bar
• Blanket temp: 80°C
• Optimal operating window: 85–105°C (peak grip 90–98°C) — race stint management should keep rears from spiking above 110°C on kerbs at Tamburello/Acque Minerali.

• ABS: 5
• Engine Braking: Medium (3/5)
• Brake Pressure: 96%
• Brake Bias: F: 54% / R: 46%

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (of 6 levels)
• Rear Wing: 7 (of 9 levels) — higher rear wing prioritised for stability under braking into Tosa/Rivazza and confidence through Variante Alta
• Downforce Balance: rear-biased for pendulum control
• Brake Ducts F/R: 5 / 4

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 992 GT3 R's rear inertia makes stable rear ride height (62mm minimum) non-negotiable — running it too low chasing rotation will cause snap oversteer over Acque Minerali's compressions and unload the rear over Tamburello's kerbs at the worst possible moment; sacrifice a little front rotation for rear platform stability and make up time with earlier, harder throttle application out of Tosa and Rivazza 2 instead.

TRACK GUIDE

• Tosa (T5) is the most important corner on the lap — brake late in a straight line, rotate early on entry, and prioritize a clean, progressive throttle application over ultimate exit speed since it feeds the long run to Piratella.
• Through Tamburello and Villeneuve, ride the kerbs flat with committed steering input — the stiffer rear ARB keeps the car settled, but lifting mid-kerk will unsettle the rear and cost rotation for the next apex.
• Acque Minerali punishes soft rear ride height — carry a stable, neutral platform through the compression, get back to power early, and accept slightly less mid-corner rotation for a rear-planted exit onto the following straight.
• Variante Alta must be taken flat — any lift
