Ferrari SF15-T

• Note: The SF15-T is a 2015 F1 car mod, not an official AC car — values below are engineered from AC's F1-car physics conventions (same family as Kunos' Ferrari SF15-T DLC car) and real-world 2015 Ferrari setup philosophy adapted to Nordschleife's unique demands.

TYRES

• Compound: Soft (Hypersoft-equivalent slick, qualifying sim)
• Front pressure: 21.5 PSI cold → target ~26.5 PSI hot
• Rear pressure: 20.5 PSI cold → target ~25.5 PSI hot
• Optimal operating window: 90–100°C for peak grip (slick F1 compound) — on a single-lap banzai run, aim to cross the line with tyres already at 85°C+ from an aggressive out-lap/warm-up procedure (weave + brake heating), since blankets may not reach full window on a cold single-lap context.

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 1 (minimal, driver-controlled slip for rotation)
• ABS: 1 (low, allows trail-braking feel)
• Engine braking / brake magic: Medium-High (helps rotation into Adenauer Forst, Karussell)
• Brake bias: 54.5% front (see brakes section below)

SUSPENSION

• // FRONT
• Ride Height: 32 mm
• Wheel Rate FL / FR: 145000 / 145000 N/m
• ARB: 120000 N/m
• Brake Torque Multiplier: 100%
• Brake Bias: 54.5%
• // REAR
• Ride Height: 45 mm
• Wheel Rate RL / RR: 120000 / 120000 N/m
• ARB: 90000 N/m
• Diff Preload: 55 Nm
• Diff Coast: 0.45
• Diff Power: 0.65

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front wing: 4 (low-medium, prioritize Döttinger top speed)
• Rear wing: 3 (low, matches SF-era low-drag philosophy — accept less stability for straight-line gain)
• Downforce level: Low-medium overall trim — Nordschleife's long straight dominates lap time more than the twisty sections load up
• Brake ducts: N/A (not modeled on this car in AC)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Raise front ride height slightly above a pure "low-drag" Monza-style setup to survive Fuchsröhre's compression and the Brünnchen bumps without bottoming the plank — on this car a stiff, low front over the bumps will skip and cost more time than the aero loss from running 32mm instead of 28mm.

TRACK GUIDE

• Hatzenbach: carry momentum, use soft Slow Bump damping to keep contact patch alive over the bumps — don't fight the car, let it float slightly.
• Flugplatz crest: lift minutely or be fully committed flat — with low rear wing the car goes light here, keep steering inputs smooth, any correction gets amplified.
• Fuchsröhre compression: brake in a straight line before entry, release smoothly — the compression loads the front hard, premature turn-in here snaps the rear on exit.
• Karussell: take the banking fully, inside line on the concrete, let the banking do the lateral work — too much steering lock scrubs speed, trust the camber.
• Döttinger Höhe: this is where the SF15-T's power unit and low-wing setup pay off — flat full throttle, DRS auto-triggers, brake marker for the final chicane complex comes very late, trust the strong top-end power unit for a long brake zone into Tiergarten.
