KEY SETUP NOTE

• Curitiba's blend of high-speed Curva do Sol and tight infield sections punishes excess rear wing with straight-line drag loss on the front straight — running slightly less rear wing (7 vs typical 8-9) trades a bit of infield rotation for a critical top-speed gain into Turn 1, which is the primary overtaking zone.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (Curva do Sol entry): Brake extremely late under trail-braking, car rotates well with the aggressive front-end bias — apex late to maximize exit speed onto the back straight.
• S do Senna (esses): Commit to a smooth, minimal-correction line; mid-corner stability from the stiffer front ARB rewards precise inputs, but sudden inputs will snap the rear.
• Turn 4 hairpin: Biggest traction zone on the lap — get on power early but progressively, respecting the diff power setting to avoid wheelspin off the tight radius.
• Final corner onto main straight: Exit priority is everything — sacrifice a tenth of apex speed for a cleaner, earlier throttle application to maximize straight-line speed for the overtaking zone into Turn 1.
• Kerb usage: Curitiba's kerbs are aggressive; use them at Turn 1 exit and the esses only with a controlled amount, as excessive kerb strikes will unsettle the stiffer suspension setup and cost rear traction.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:38.500 — based on optimal sector composite from clean aggressive stints, dry
