DAMPERS

AERO

• Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (medium cooling, endurance stint heat management)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Road Atlanta's Back Straight demands low drag for top speed into the T10A chicane, but the Esses (T5) punish a loose rear — this setup leans slightly toward rear stability (ARB and damper bias) at a small straight-line speed cost, because a twitchy rear at T5 or under T10A braking will cost far more time than 1-2 mph down the straight.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Trail brake late off the straight, carry rotation — this car's front end tolerates aggressive trail braking well with 54.5% bias; don't lift early.
• T5 Esses: Commit fully, minimal steering correction — the rear ARB/damper setup is tuned to keep the car planted; smooth, progressive inputs through the sequence are faster than aggressive flicks.
• T6 exit: Prioritize traction over rotation — this is the key launch onto the Back Straight; get back to throttle progressively, use the 0.60 power diff lock to put power down without wheelspin.
• T10A/10B Chicane: This is the biggest time-loss zone for aggressive drivers — brake in a straight line, use max ABS stability, sacrifice a few mph of entry speed to nail the compression and exit onto the short straight before T12.
• T12: Late apex, prioritize exit speed over entry aggression — this feeds the longest straight on track; a clean exit here is worth more than any other corner on the lap.
