DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 2 (minimum sensible load, chicane rotation priority)
• Rear Wing: 3 (low drag, Monza-spec)
• Downforce Level: Low — top speed biased
• Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 2 (single lap, no thermal concern)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• On a single hot lap with tyre wear irrelevant, run the lowest ride height and stiffest front-biased platform the kerbs at Ascari and the chicanes will tolerate without bottoming violently — the 963's floor stall point is the real limiting factor, not mechanical grip; sacrifice a fraction of rear stability for a sharper front end since you only need one clean lap.

TRACK GUIDE

• Rettifilo (T1/2): brake as late as physically possible from 340+ km/h — trail brake deep and use the inside kerb aggressively on exit; stiff front ARB keeps rotation sharp without understeer.
• Curva Grande (T3): taken essentially flat or lifted minimally in the 963 — commit early, let the low-drag rear wing pay off here with a stable high-speed platform.
• Roggia chicane (T4/5): similar to T1/2 but respect the compression — this is where low ride height risks bottoming hardest; don't overslow, carry more min-speed than feels natural.
• Lesmo 1/2: sacrifice a tenth on Lesmo 1 entry rotation to protect a clean, wide-radius Lesmo 2 exit — this feeds the longest flat-out section to Ascari, so exit speed here is worth more than the corner itself.
• Ascari chicane: flat kerb strikes on entry and mid-chicane are unavoidable at max attack — keep the car flat with the damper settings above; any pogo-ing kills Parabolica entry speed.
• Parabolica: this is the lap-defining corner — late apex, progressive throttle application from mid-corner, maximum exit speed onto the straight is worth more than any other single technique on this lap.
