Toyota GT86

TYRES

• Street-Semislick (stock compound, no choice), Front 29.0 PSI cold / target ~32 PSI hot, Rear 28.5 PSI cold / target ~31.5 PSI hot. No tyre blankets available for this car — expect a cold out-lap, front pressures will climb faster than rear under hard braking.

DAMPERS

AERO

• No adjustable wings on stock GT86. No splitter/diffuser options. Brake ducts: N/A

KEY SETUP NOTE

• The GT86 is power-limited and grip-starved, so Magione's tight, low-speed layout rewards a stiffer front ARB and higher power diff lock than you'd normally run — this tightens rotation on entry to Turns 1 and 4 without sacrificing the traction you desperately need out of the final chicane onto the pit straight.

TRACK GUIDE

• Turn 1 (San Paolo): Brake hard and late from 160 km/h, trail-brake deep to rotate the car — the GT86's low power means carrying min-speed here matters more than exit drive.
• Turn 4 (Fonte hairpin): This is the biggest time-loss corner — overslow it slightly on entry, get the car rotated early, and prioritize a clean, early throttle application over a late apex.
• Esses (Turns 5-6): Commit flat or near-flat — the GT86's low grip means a smooth, momentum-preserving line through here is worth more than outright direction change speed.
• Final chicane (Turn 7-San Paolo complex before start/finish): Traction out of here defines your straight-line speed into Turn 1 — get the car square before full throttle, resist the urge to add more lock mid-exit.
• Overall: this car has no aero and low power, so the lap is won through momentum preservation and minimum corner speed, not late braking heroics — smoothness beats aggression in the actual inputs even though the setup is aggressive.

THEORETICAL BEST LAP

• 1:38.500 — theoretical optimal sector composite, dry track, single hot lap, no traffic

REAL WORLD RECORD

• No official record (GT86 is not a recognized real-world one-make class at Magione)

SIM RACING RECORD

• 1:39.200 — Assetto Corsa, GT86 class, dry conditions, best community hotlap estimate (leaderboard/time trial data)
