Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II

TYRES

• Compound: Dry Medium (ACC-spec slick)
• Front Pressure: 27.3 PSI
• Rear Pressure: 27.0 PSI
• Optimal Operating Temp: 85–95°C (peak grip window; avoid exceeding 100°C for race-stint consistency)
• No tyre blankets (AC Evo)

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 4 (reduced slightly from max-grip setting to manage rear deg over race stint)
• TC2: 2
• ABS: 5
• Engine Braking / Brake Migration: Medium-high setting, brake bias migration -1% rear over long runs to offset rear tyre fade
• Brake Bias: 54.5% front (base, see suspension section)

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 60 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 162000 N/m / 162000 N/m
• ARB: 6 (mid-stiff, scale 1–10)
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 100%
• Brake Bias: 54.5%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 65 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 150000 N/m / 150000 N/m
• ARB: 4 (scale 1–10)
• Diff Preload: 50 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.45
• Diff Power: 0.60

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 clicks (medium-low drag, balanced for T1 uphill braking stability)
• Rear Wing: 6 clicks (out of typical 1–10 GT3 scale) — biased toward stability through Esses and Stadium section while keeping straight-line speed for front/back straights
• Downforce Level: Medium-high
• Brake Ducts F/R: 4 / 3 (manage temps over race stint, prevent front lockup fade late in run)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The R8's stable MR platform lets you run slightly more rear ARB stiffness than instinct suggests for an aggressive driver — this sharpens rotation into T1 and T11 without sacrificing the rear-end security needed through the flat-out Esses, which is where this car's wide setup window pays off most over a full race distance.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake later than feels natural but trail-brake progressively uphill — the blind apex punishes early turn-in; aggressive drivers gain most by delaying brake release, not by braking deeper.
• Esses (T2-T9): Commit to a single, clean line — mid-corner steering corrections kill tyre temps fast. Smooth hands here preserve rear tyre life for the back half of the race.
• T11 Hairpin: Rotate the car early with a dab of trail-brake, get the diff power-lock working from apex — this is the main traction zone that sets up the run to T12-15.
• Stadium Section (T16-19): Use kerbs aggressively on entry/exit but avoid unsettling the rear mid-corner; this section rewards a planted rear end over outright rotation.
• T20 Final Hairpin: The most important corner for lap time — sacrifice a tenth on entry to maximize traction on exit onto the main straight; diff power lock and rear ARB setting are critical here.
