Ferrari F2004

TYRES

• Compound: Slick Soft (S)
• Front: 20.5 PSI cold (targets ~27.5–28.5 PSI hot)
• Rear: 19.3 PSI cold (targets ~26.5–27.5 PSI hot)
• No tyre blankets available in AC Evo — expect a 2–3 lap tyre build-up; cold track temp (21°C air/27°C track vs hotter reference) means slightly higher cold pressures than the base lap to compensate for lower heat build, targeting peak grip window of 85–105°C.

ELECTRONICS

• TC: 3
• ABS: N/A (not permitted, car has none)
• Engine Braking: Medium (4/6)
• Brake Bias: 59.5% front (fuel load will be far lower than 150L reference — single flying lap on minimum fuel, bias moved slightly forward of the 60.0% hot-lap reference to compensate for lower rear load under heavy braking into T1/T13)

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing Angle: 26
• Rear Wing Angle: 28
• Ride Height front: 32 mm / rear: 45 mm
• Brake ducts: Front 3 / Rear 3 (cool track temp, minimal duct opening needed to keep brakes in window without overcooling on a single lap)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• Barcelona's Campsa (T10) is a near-flat-out banked right that loads the rear hugely under high lateral G — running too little rear wing or too soft rear springs here will snap the car loose at 280km/h+; this setup biases slightly more rear wing and stiffer rear ARB than a pure low-downforce qualifying trim to guarantee committed flat-out Campsa, even at the cost of a few km/h on the back straight.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 (Elf): Brake as late as possible in a straight line from the main straight; trail-brake just enough to rotate, then get on power early — traction out of T1 sets up the Renault complex.
• T3/T4 (Renault): Commit to a high minimum speed through this S — any lift here costs you through the whole complex; trust the rear stability from the stiffer ARB/damper setup and carry speed rather than point-and-shoot.
• T10 (Campsa): Flat or near-flat with this aero package — stay committed, let the banking and rear downforce do the work; lifting costs more time than any other corner on this lap.
• T13/14 (hairpin complex): Late, hard braking into the first part, get the car rotated early on entry so you can be full throttle by the final hairpin exit onto the pit straight — this is the biggest traction zone of the lap.
• T16 (New Holland): Carry maximum exit speed onto the main straight — a strong, committed late apex here is worth more than anywhere else on the lap due to the long straight that follows.
