DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: 5 clicks (aggressive, balanced to rear for Mercedes Arena stability)
• Rear Wing: 7 (high-medium downforce — favors Spitzkehre traction and Arena rotation over straight-line speed)
• Downforce Level: Medium-High
• Brake Ducts: Front 4 / Rear 3

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Spitzkehre hairpin exit traction dictates lap time more than any braking zone — slightly softer rear ARB and increased power diff lock (0.6) sacrifice ultimate rotation on entry for a stable, drivable exit onto the long Motodrom straight, which is where the Audi's V10 torque is best exploited.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1/T2 Einfahrt Motodrom: brake in a straight line, release pressure progressively — late braking rewards trail-braking only if rear stability holds; don't overcommit on the first attempt into the tightening radius.
• Mercedes Arena (T6-9): carry committed, neutral-throttle entry speed — the Audi's stable platform allows aggressive direction changes but lift-off oversteer punishes greedy entries; prioritize exit speed from T8 into T9.
• T11 Spitzkehre: this is the lap-defining corner — brake deep but ensure full stop of rotation before applying power; traction out of here onto Motodrom Straight is the biggest time gain/loss zone on the lap.
• T13/14 final complex: compromise entry speed slightly to protect exit traction onto the pit straight — a strong run here sets up overtaking into T1 on the following lap.
• Manage rear tyre temps through the Arena sequence during the race — aggressive early-stint drops lead to snap oversteer mid-to-late stint if overdriven lap 1-5.
