DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing / Splitter: Level 3
• Rear Wing: Level 5 (medium-high, Laguna has one short straight and the Corkscrew demands rear stability)
• Downforce Level: Medium-High
• Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (open enough to keep the brakes from fading over one push lap)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The Corkscrew drop is the lap-defining risk. The softened rear wheel rate (135000 N/m) and lower coast diff (0.4) keep the rear compliant and the car rotating through the Corkscrew compression. TC 6 and ABS 3 give a more aggressive exit and entry than the 7/4 reference lap, but the 42% front bias must stay, since the AMG GT3's long wheelbase and front-engine mass already brake stable. Moving bias forward will push the car wide at T2 and the Andretti Hairpin.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 / Andretti Hairpin (T2): Brake late for the crest-over right-hander at T1, trail-brake in to rotate the long wheelbase, and get the car straight before T2. Braking for the hairpin is where the AMG GT3 gains time. Wait for the rotation, then use full throttle early, as TC 6 will protect the exit.
• Esses (T3-T6): Rhythm section on the climb. Stay smooth and committed, and carry minimal steering. A clean exit out of the final Esses sets the speed down the hill to the Corkscrew.
• Corkscrew (T8/8A): Brake in a straight line before the crest, make a single small steering input at the blind apex, and let the car drop. Do not add throttle until the car is settled on the downhill. Any mid-corner correction will cost more than it gains. Use the inside kerb only lightly on exit.
• Rainey Curve (T9): High lateral load. Settle the car early, take a wide entry, and carry speed through the apex. The rear ride height of 62 mm keeps the car stable here.
• T11: Slow final right. Prioritise straight-line exit speed, getting on power early, as TC 6 and the 0.5 power diff give traction onto the start/finish straight. This is where a lot of the lap time is won or lost.
