DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing Angle: 14°
• Rear Wing Angle: 12°
• Ride Height: Front 28 mm / Rear 50 mm
• Downforce level: Low-medium (Spa trim, prioritising Kemmel and Blanchimont speed while keeping enough front load for Eau Rouge and Pouhon)
• Brake ducts: Small (opening kept minimal to keep temps up and drag down on a single push lap)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Spa is a compromise between the Kemmel straight and the Eau Rouge/Pouhon/Blanchimont loads. Wing levels are trimmed for top speed, but the stiff front platform at 28 mm and the 55,000 N/m front ARB keep the nose pinned through the compression at Eau Rouge and the long Pouhon double apex. The low rear ARB and 0.35 coast lock help the car rotate on aggressive turn-in without snap oversteer on lift-off. Keep the soft slicks hot: use the outlap to push 95°C+ into the fronts before the flying lap.

TRACK GUIDE

• La Source: Brake very late from the Bus Stop-to-pit straight, but get the car rotated early. Use the inside kerb and get on the power as soon as the nose points down the hill. Don't over-slow it, because the run to Eau Rouge is where lap time starts.
• Eau Rouge / Raidillon: Flat in the dry with this downforce if you set it up straight. Turn in slightly late for a tighter exit line, and do not lift. Place the car right at the entry, then let it compress and unload over the crest.
• Kemmel straight into Les Combes: Take a tight slipstream-style line out of Raidillon to maximise exit speed. Brake late for Les Combes, trail brake to the first apex, and use the kerb on the second apex. Get a clean exit for the run to Malmedy.
• Pouhon: Carry maximum speed through the double apex. Turn in early, keep a smooth steering rate, and use the exit kerb. The aggressive front-end bias helps here, so commit and trust the downforce.
• Blanchimont into Bus Stop: Flat through Blanchimont with a late apex. Brake late for the Bus Stop chicane, hit the kerbs hard, and get the power down early for the final run to the line.
