Mercedes-AMG GT3 Evo

TYRES

• Slick (dry compound), Front 25.5 PSI cold, Rear 25.2 PSI cold — optimal operating window 85–105°C for peak grip (qualifying lap can run slightly hotter transient peaks near 110°C without major falloff); blanket temp if used: 80°C front/rear.

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Splitter: max attack position (fully stiff, lowest legal clearance)
• Rear Wing: 5 (of typical 0–6 range) — high downforce bias for Karussell/Adenauer rotation, accepted drag cost on Döttinger Höhe
• Downforce Level: High-biased balance, rear wing 5, front ride height held low to balance aero platform
• Brake Ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (minimal, single lap — no thermal concern)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• This car's long wheelbase gives stability at Döttinger/Flugplatz but fights rotation through Adenauer Forst and Karussell exit — the stiffer rear ARB/lower coast diff combo here trades a fraction of top-speed stability for the rotation needed to attack the slow-technical sections where this track actually makes or loses lap time.

TRACK GUIDE

• Hatzenbach: stay committed on the bumpy kerbs — the compliant damper setup lets you carry more minimum speed than feels natural; don't lift mid-corner.
• Flugplatz crest: car goes light at the top — ease off throttle fractionally rather than lifting fully, keep steering inputs smooth or the rear will snap on landing.
• Fuchsröhre compression: brake before the compression, not during — heavy vertical loading punishes any trail-braking here, get straight before the G-load hits.
• Adenauer Forst: this is where rotation is won — trail-brake deep, use the low coast diff to rotate the car, get on power early even if it means slight understeer on exit.
• Karussell: take the banking fully, inside kerb loaded — stay full in the bowl, let the banking do the work, don't scrub speed fighting it.
• Brünnchen bumps: trust the dampers, stay full throttle through the first crest, only lift if the car steps out — most time lost here is from unnecessary lifts.
• Döttinger Höhe: this is pure lap time — get the exit from the final chicane before it perfect, every km/h here is free time with no cornering load to manage.
