DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 4, Rear wing: 6, Brake ducts: Front 3 / Rear 3 — Spa needs low drag for Kemmel/main straight but enough rear stability for Eau Rouge/Blanchimont flat-out commitment.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Spa demands a low-drag rear wing setting for straight-line speed on Kemmel and the Masta-style straights, but the 296 GT3's front-heavy weight distribution means you must lean on front ARB and bias to keep rotation at Les Combes and Bus Stop without sacrificing the flat-out confidence needed through Eau Rouge-Raidillon — compromise rear wing slightly higher than pure Monza-style low-drag to hold the car through Blanchimont at max commitment.

TRACK GUIDE

• Eau Rouge-Raidillon: full throttle commitment required — car must be stable on entry at the bottom compression; any lift costs massive time. Trust the aero and setup, stay flat if confidence allows.
• Les Combes (T5): late, hard braking into the right-left chicane — trail brake to rotate the front, get back on power early for the run to Malmedy.
• Pouhon (T9-10): long double-left, high-speed — commit to early apex, sustained lateral load tests tyre temp and rear stability; smooth inputs critical here.
• Campus/Stavelot sector: medium-speed flowing section — carry momentum, avoid overdriving entry, exit speed matters more than entry speed for Blanchimont run.
• Bus Stop chicane (final corners): late braking into the left-right, get traction down early for the run across the line — track-out wide for the best exit angle onto main straight.
