Porsche 992 GT3 Cup

• Note: The supplied car notes describe the 911 GT3 R (992); this setup is adapted for the 992 GT3 Cup, which is a single-spec, lower-downforce, ABS-free and TC-free car, so electronics are listed as N/A where the car has no such system. The Nürburgring 24H layout is the full Nordschleife + GP loop (~25.3 km), so the GP notes are adapted to the combined layout. All values are best estimates for ACC's 992 Cup and should be verified against in-game ranges.

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front splitter: 4 clicks
• Rear wing: 7 clicks (high rear wing for rear-engine stability through Fuchsröhre and Kesselchen)
• Downforce level: medium-high, prioritising Nordschleife stability over top speed
• Brake ducts: Front 2 / Rear 2 (minimal cooling for a single flying lap, less drag)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The rear-engine pendulum effect will punish you on turn-in over the Nordschleife's crests and compressions (Flugplatz, Schwedenkreuz, Pflanzgarten), so the stiffer rear ARB, higher coast lock (0.7) and elevated rear wing are what let you attack late braking without snap oversteer on exit. Do not drop the rear ride height below 62 mm or the car will snap under compression.

TRACK GUIDE

• GP loop / Dunlop hairpin and Bit-Kurve: Brake late and hard, trail the brake to rotate the rear-engine car, then be patient on throttle. Traction out of these slow corners sets up the following straights.
• Hatzenbach / Flugplatz / Schwedenkreuz: Commit fully. Use the kerbs aggressively but keep the car settled over the crests. Lift slightly before Flugplatz to avoid launching.
• Fuchsröhre / Adenauer Forst: Compression at the bottom of Fuchsröhre loads the rear. Keep the car straight and brake in a straight line for Adenauer Forst.
• Pflanzgarten / Hohe Acht / Karussell: Hit the Karussell concrete bowl on the inside and let the car ride the banking. This is a big time gain if done smoothly.
• Döttinger Höhe to Tiergarten and GP Veedol/Ford-Kurve: Maximise exit speed from Antoniusbuche onto the long straight. Late braking is rewarded at the Veedol chicane, but never sacrifice exit.
