Audi R8 LMS GT3 Evo II

TYRES

• Wet compound. Front: 1.90 bar / Rear: 1.85 bar. Optimal operating window: 70–85°C (wet compound generates heat slower than dry — avoid over-pressuring cold, aim to get into window within 2 laps). No tyre blankets used in wet-only sessions.

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 5 (higher slip tolerance for standing water/traction zones)
• TC2: 2
• ABS: 5
• Brake Pressure: 88%
• Brake Bias: F: 54% / R: 46%

DRIVETRAIN

• Fuel Map: Map 3 — reduced aggression, smoother torque delivery for wet traction out of T1/T13
• Gear Ratios:
• 1st: 3.10
• 2nd: 2.42
• 3rd: 1.98
• 4th: 1.67
• 5th: 1.43
• 6th: 1.24
• Final Drive: 3.75

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 68 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 128000 N/m / 128000 N/m
• ARB: 65000 N/m
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 88%
• Brake Bias: 54%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 72 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 118000 N/m / 118000 N/m
• ARB: 48000 N/m
• Diff Preload: 55 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.4
• Diff Power: 0.35

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 4 (of available range) — moderate front load to balance wet grip window
• Rear Wing: 7 (high — prioritize rear stability at Campsa and confidence at Renault/New Holland)
• Downforce Level: High-biased rear split for wet stability
• Brake Ducts F/R: 4 / 3 (manage temps without overcooling in wet)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• In the wet, the R8 LMS Evo II's long wheelbase and stable MR platform reward a rearward brake bias trim and softer rear ARB — this keeps rear tyres loaded and progressive through Campsa's banking and stops snap oversteer on throttle at T1/T13 exits, which is where wet laps are won or lost far more than outright top speed.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: brake in a straight line earlier than dry reference (aquaplaning risk at initial turn-in), trail brake gently, prioritize a clean traction exit over rotation
• T3 Renault: carry momentum, avoid mid-corner throttle lifts — the car's rear stability here defines confidence into T4
• Campsa (T10): treat as near-committed in wet, but respect a small throttle lift on entry over the crest — rear ARB softness pays off here
• T13/14 hairpin complex: late apex, get the car straight early, traction is everything onto the following straight
• T16 New Holland: this is the lap-defining corner — carrying exit speed onto the pit straight is worth more than any other single corner on the lap; sacrifice entry speed for exit

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:52.400 — theoretical optimal sector composite, heavy rain / standing water conditions, AM
