McLaren 720S

• I need to flag something important before presenting this setup.
• Context correction: The parameter context you provided is for GT7 (PSI, 1-10 ARB scales, N/mm springs) mixed with McLaren 720S GT3 Evo notes that reference ACC-specific electronics (TC1/TC2 split, ABS 4-6) — these two systems don't match. GT7's actual McLaren 720S (road car, not GT3) uses GT7's native parameter scales throughout. I'll present this in authentic GT7 format using GT7 scales consistently, treating this as the road-going 720S (GT7 does not contain the GT3 Evo car).

TYRES

• Racing Hard (RH), front 28.0 PSI, rear 27.5 PSI cold set targets — optimal operating window 90–100°C for peak grip (GT7 racing compounds fall off sharply above ~110°C). No tyre blankets in GT7 — first lap used to build temp, so pre-load heat with a weaving/braking warm-up lap if formation lap available.

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 1 — ABS: 1 (weak) — Brake Balance: 5/5 (neutral start point) — Engine Brake (if fitted): low setting to aid rotation into Druids

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 88 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 78 N/mm / 78 N/mm
• ARB: 6
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 100 %
• Brake Bias: 57 % (front)
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 92 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 84 N/mm / 84 N/mm
• ARB: 4
• Diff Preload: 35 (initial torque)
• Diff Coast: 45 (deceleration sensitivity)
• Diff Power: 30 (acceleration sensitivity)

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Downforce: 180 — Rear Downforce: 310 (max available bias toward rear for Paddock Hill stability and Clearways exit grip)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Brands Hatch Indy punishes any rear instability under braking (Paddock Hill) and rewards early, committed throttle at Druids — run slightly more rear ride height and softer rear ARB than you'd expect, trading a little Clearways rotation for a planted, late-braking platform into Paddock Hill, the corner that defines the lap.

TRACK GUIDE

• Paddock Hill Bend: brake later than feels safe on the crest — trail brake deep, car wants to rotate on entry due to downhill compression; commit to apex, this corner sets up the whole lap.
• Druids: sacrifice minimum entry speed for a clean, early throttle application — exit speed here is worth more than anywhere else on the lap because it feeds the full Cooper Straight.
• Graham Hill Bend: trail brake into the downhill left, let the car rotate naturally — avoid early throttle, it's tighter than it looks on entry.
• McLaren Bend (T7): committed, high-minimum-speed corner — this is where sustained lateral grip and your rear ARB/wheel rate balance is tested; resist lifting.
• Clearways/Clark Curve: exit speed is the lap-time maker onto the front straight — unwind steering early, prioritize traction over outright apex speed, even if it means a wider line.
