DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 4 (of adjustable range) — moderate front splitter angle for turn-in bite into T1/Andretti
• Rear Wing: 8 (high downforce setting) — rear stability critical for Corkscrew drop and Rainey Curve
• Downforce Level: High overall — car needs the rear planted, per car notes
• Brake Ducts: Front 4 / Rear 5 (moderate cooling, single hot lap so bias toward less drag over cooling margin)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 720S GT3 Evo's tendency to snap on throttle application means the Corkscrew's compression and Andretti's exit both demand a stiffer rear roll bar setting and higher coast lock than instinct suggests — this sacrifices a fraction of mid-corner rotation everywhere else but guarantees you can put the power down fearlessly at the two spots on this lap where a slide becomes a crash into a tire wall with no run-off.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1/T2 entry: brake late but progressively — trail brake deep into Andretti Hairpin, rotate on entry, get back to full throttle as early as possible since Andretti feeds directly into the Esses rhythm section.
• Esses (T3-T6): commit fully — minimal steering correction, let the high-speed aero platform do the work; smoothness here carries speed into the Corkscrew approach.
• Corkscrew (T8/8A): brake in a straight line before turn-in, trust the setup, apply minimal steering input on the blind left-right — do not lift or correct mid-drop, the rear stability from the stiffer springs/ARB
