DAMPERS

AERO

• Front wing: 8 clicks (aggressive, near max), Rear wing: 9 clicks (near max for Mid-Ohio's medium-high downforce demand), Ride heights locked as above for max rake (15 mm rake front-to-rear for platform stability under braking and diffuser effect)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Mid-Ohio's blend of high-speed direction changes (Turns 1-2, Carousel) and low-speed technical sections (Keyhole, Turn 4) means you must run maximum wing for the fast stuff while accepting the straightline speed loss on the front stretch and through the Esses exit onto the backstraight — this car's power-to-downforce ratio favors grip over straight-line speed at Mid-Ohio; do not be tempted to run a lower wing setting for the back straight, as the lap is won in the Carousel and Keyhole complex.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Turn 1/Big Bend): Late, hard trail-brake entry — carry speed through Turn 2 by rotating the car on entry to Turn 1, using the wide track exit to set up for the following esses.
• Esses (Turns 3-5): This is where the lap is made — maximum commitment, minimal steering correction, use full width of track (including curbs) to maintain a straight-line minimum-scrub trajectory; any lift here costs multiple tenths compounding through the sequence.
• Keyhole (Turn 4): Late apex, get back to power early even if it means slightly wider exit — this feeds the long uphill run to the Carousel.
• Carousel (Turn 5): Constant-radius, high-commitment corner — trust the aero and mechanical grip, stay full throttle if possible or lift minimally; a rhythm corner where confidence and smooth inputs beat aggressive steering inputs.
• Turn 7/
