Porsche 911 GT3 R (991.2)

TYRES

• Slick (Dry), Front: 26.2 PSI, Rear: 25.7 PSI
• Tyre blanket temp: 80°C (standard GT3 blanket setting)
• Optimal operating window for max grip: 85–100°C (front and rear) — qualifying attack lap should target front tyres entering the window within 1–2 laps; push for peak surface temp of ~90°C for ultimate single-lap grip.

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The 992 GT3 R's rear-engine polar inertia makes the valley section (T3-T6) the defining risk/reward zone — running slightly stiffer rear ARB (6) with higher coast lock (65%) stabilizes direction changes without killing T11 hairpin traction; don't be tempted to soften the rear for "easier" rotation — it will snap mid-corner on the downhill camber changes.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1: Late brake from 185 km/h+ into the medium-right — trail brake deep but ensure car is settled by apex, as poor entry compromises the short straight into T2.
• T3-T6 Valley: Commit early, minimal mid-corner correction — this section rewards a smooth, confident single input per corner rather than multiple adjustments; lift-and-rotate approach kills more time than it gains here.
• T11 Hairpin: The single most important traction zone on the lap — get the car rotated before the apex, straighten the wheel early, and prioritize a clean, early throttle application over outright rotation speed; this feeds the lap's fastest "straight."
• T14 Chicane: Resist the urge to attack the kerbs too aggressively — a slightly wider, smoother line preserves exit speed onto the pit straight, worth more than the half-car-length gained by clipping the inside kerb.
• Lap time is won in the valley's rhythm (T3-T9) and lost through hesitation at T11 — treat the hairpin as the lap's defining corner.
