DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (of typical GT3 0–10 scale), Rear Wing: 8, Downforce bias toward rear stability, Brake ducts Front 4 / Rear 3 (cooling moderate, wet reduces brake temps naturally)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• In wet conditions the Z06's long wheelbase and rear weight bias make Eau Rouge/Raidillon and Blanchimont the limiting factor — slightly softer rear ARB and raised rear ride height (vs dry setup) prevent snap oversteer on the compression without sacrificing too much rotation at La Source; prioritize mechanical rear grip over outright aero in these conditions since low-speed wet grip is the real lap time determinant.

TRACK GUIDE

• La Source: brake later than feels safe but trail off smoothly — wet grip punishes trail-braking abuse; rotate car with throttle, not entry speed.
• Eau Rouge/Raidillon: lift slightly on wet in a full qualifying attack unless track is only damp — full commitment here is only safe if rears are planted; any twitch costs the whole lap.
• Les Combes: this is where attack pays off — late, straight-line braking, use full width of wet track (avoid painted curbs/racing line rubber if visibly damp-slick).
• Pouhon: carry momentum in with a wide entry; the Corvette's front grip in wet needs a patient rotation through both apexes — don't ask for too much too early.
• Bus Stop: aggressive curb riding costs time in wet — the car unsettles on the sausage curbs; smoother line sacrifices a tenth there but saves the long run to La Source on the next lap.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 2:19.800 — theoretical optimal sector composite, heavy rain / full wet tires, no red flag/traffic interference

REAL WORLD RECORD

• No official record (Corvette Z06 GT3.R is new-generation GT3, limited wet qualifying data published)

SIM RACING RECORD

• Approx. 2:21.500 — Le Mans Ultimate, GT3 class, full wet conditions, best community hotlap estimate (unverified, evolving metagame)

TYRES

• Wet compound, front pressure 27.5 PSI, rear pressure 27.0 PSI, tyre blanket temp N/A (wet tread, no heater activation pre-session)

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 6, ABS: 6, Engine Braking: 2 (low, to stabilize rear on corner entry in wet), Brake Bias: 54% front

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 75 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 145000 N/m / 145000 N/m
• ARB: 110000 N/m
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 90%
• Brake Bias: 54%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 78 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 130000 N/m / 130000 N/m

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 4 (of typical 1–10 GT3 scale), Rear Wing: 7, Downforce Level: High-wet config (max legal rear to stabilize Eau Rouge/Blanchimont), Brake Ducts: 5 front / 4 rear

KEY SETUP NOTE

• In wet conditions the Z06's rear platform is the limiting factor through Eau Rouge-Raidillon and Blanchimont — running slightly softer front springs relative to rear plus a touch more rear wing than dry setup sacrifices some Kemmel top speed but keeps the car planted on the compression, which is where an aggressive driver will otherwise snap the rear and lose the whole lap (or the car).

TRACK GUIDE

• La Source: in wet, brake 15-20m earlier than dry reference point; trail brake gently to rotate, avoid late-apex snap — front wet tyres need progressive loading, not a stab.
• Eau Rouge/Raidillon: stay full throttle only if rear squat feels planted on wet rubber; if unsure, lift fractionally before the compression rather than mid-way — a rear snap here ends the race.
• Les Combes: this is where aggressive late braking pays off even in wet — brake in a straight line, release pressure progressively to allow rotation into the chicane without locking fronts.
• Pouhon: needs a stable platform and patience — in wet, carry slightly less entry speed than dry limit since this car's front grip in opposite camber loading is at a premium.
• Bus Stop chicane: ride the inner kerbs aggressively only with rear ARB softened as above — this setup allows commitment to kerbs without unsettling exit traction onto the pit straight.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 2:25.800 — theoretical based on optimal sector extraction, wet (heavy) conditions, LMU Corvette Z06 GT3.R, no traffic
