Lamborghini Countach LP5000 QV

TYRES

• Compound: Semi-Slick (Soft)
• Front Pressure: 27.5 PSI
• Rear Pressure: 26.5 PSI
• Camber Front: -3.3°
• Camber Rear: -2.6°
• Toe Front: -0.05° (toe-out)
• Toe Rear: +0.15° (toe-in)

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 2 (classic analog V12, minimal electronic nanny — keep low for max rotation but prevent snap on T20 exit)
• ABS: 1 (this era Countach has no real ABS; simulate minimal threshold assist only)
• Engine Braking: Medium-High (helps rotate into T1 and T11)
• Brake Bias: Controlled via SUSPENSION section below

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: Level 2 (fixed, minimal adjustability on this classic)
• Rear Wing: N/A (no adjustable wing on LP5000 QV — stock ducktail spoiler)
• Downforce Level: Low overall — car relies on mechanical grip, not aero
• Brake Ducts: Front 4 / Rear 3 (manage fade under heavy T1/T11/T20 braking)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• This is a heavy, long-wheelbase 1980s analog supercar with a high polar moment — stiffen the rear ARB and run aggressive rear toe-in to fight push-induced mid-corner understeer in the Esses, but keep coast diff relatively open or the rear will snap on trail-braking into T1 and T11 due to the car's weight transfer characteristics.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Brake in a straight line well before the hairpin — this car's brakes and weight will punish late trail-braking; get it rotated early using engine braking, then get back to power progressively uphill.
• T2-T9 Esses: Minimize steering input and let the car flow — mid-engine weight bias means any sudden direction change unsettles the rear; smooth hands win time here, not aggression.
• T11 Hairpin: Late apex, sacrifice entry speed for a clean, straight exit — this V12 needs the wheel pointed straight to put power down without wheelspin.
• Stadium Section (T16-19): Patience on throttle application — this car's torque curve will overwhelm the rear tyres if you're not fully unwound on exit.
• T20 Final Corner: This is the lap-defining corner — get the rotation done early, sacrifice a fraction of mid-corner speed for a straight exit onto the front straight; the Countach's low-speed traction is the weak point, protect it.
