DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 4 (clicks)
• Rear Wing: 7 (clicks)
• Downforce Level: High-medium — rear-biased to counter turbo-induced oversteer on throttle, while keeping front aggressive enough for Schumacher-S turn-in
• Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (single lap — heat build not a concern, minimal duct opening for lower drag)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 296 GT3's front-heavy weight distribution combined with turbo lag/surge means you must carry slightly more rear wing than instinct suggests — this lets you lean on the front end hard into the Schumacher-S and Veedol chicane without snap oversteer when the turbo spools on exit; sacrifice a touch of straight-line speed on the back straight for confidence everywhere else.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 (Yokohama-S): Brake very late, trail deep into entry — soft front wheel rate here bites well; carry slight rotation on entry to set up the direction change.
• T3 (Schumacher-S): Commit early with a firm, confident input — the stiffer front ARB keeps the platform flat through the direction changes; don't lift mid-S, trust the rear wing.
• T5 (Dunlop hairpin): Late apex, get the car pointed before full throttle — TC1 at 4 will catch turbo surge but you still need to meter early throttle manually for best exit.
• T11 (Bit-Kurve): This is the biggest time-gain corner — sacrifice entry speed for a straighter exit line onto the run to Veedol; traction here defines your back-straight speed.
• T18 (Ford-Kurve): Late apex again, get on power early but progressively — rear diff power lock at 0.65 helps put down tur
