KEY SETUP NOTE
- Richmond's high banking and tight radius punish a loose-in/tight-off balance — run higher cross-weight (54%) and stiffer LF wheel rate than typical intermediate track to control forward bite off Turns 2 and 4 exits, since aggressive late-brake entries will unload the LF and snap the car if it's too soft.
TRACK GUIDE
- Turns 1-2 and 3-4 are tight, flat-ish radius corners; brake later than instinct dictates but trail off smoothly — stabbing the brake unsettles the rear on this abrasive surface.
- Richmond's dogleg backstretch (between 2 and 3) allows a slight lift-and-coast to reset rotation before committing to Turn 3 entry.
- Tyre management is the #1 factor — the surface is aggressive on right-sides; balance aggression with smooth inputs mid-run to avoid free-falling grip after lap 40+ of a stint.
- Fastest laps come from carrying entry speed into 1 and 3 via a late, hard brake and trusting the rotation — don't be afraid of a slight 2-4 degree yaw ang
