DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 2 (clicks, scale 1–5, minimal drag for Esses/straights)
• Rear Wing: 5 (clicks, scale 1–8, max stability for esses + T1 rotation confidence)
• Downforce Level: Medium-High bias rearward (front-heavy car needs rear planted)
• Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (scale 1–6, single lap — no thermal concern)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 296 GT3's front-heavy weight distribution means on a single qualifying lap you want slightly higher rear wing than race setup to allow trail-braking deep into T1 and T11 without snap oversteer — sacrifice a touch of straight-line speed on the back straight for confidence to rotate aggressively through the Esses and stadium section.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake later than feels natural but trust the rear wing stability — trail-brake to rotate the nose, don't overslow mid-corner, exit wide for T2 entry.
• T2-T9 Esses: Minimal steering correction — let the chassis flow, stay on throttle through direction changes, any lift costs multiple corners' worth of momentum.
• T11 Hairpin: Latest brake point on the lap — maximize entry speed, rotate hard on trail-brake, get back to power early even if it means slight understeer on exit for traction.
• T12-T15: Carry speed through the flowing section, smooth inputs, this sets up stadium entry speed.
• T20 Final Hairpin: This is the lap-defining corner — sacrifice entry speed for a clean, early throttle application; the run to the line rewards traction over rotation.
