Ferrari 296 GT3

TYRES

• Compound: Dry (Medium), Front 27.8 PSI, Rear 27.5 PSI cold — race-stint bias slightly above ACC baseline to offset high-deg aggressive driving. Optimal tyre operating window: 85–100°C (peak grip ~90–95°C). Avoid sustained >105°C to limit thermal degradation across stint.

ELECTRONICS

• TC1: 5
• TC2: 2
• ABS: 5
• Engine Braking / Brake Magic: Medium-High (setting 6/10 equivalent)
• Brake Bias: 54.5% front (race baseline, adjustable +/-1% per stint as pads/tyres shift)

DAMPERS

AERO

• Front Wing: 4 (of adjustable range), Rear Wing: 7, Downforce Level: Medium-High, Brake Ducts: Front 3 / Rear 4 (manage temp over race stint)

KEY SETUP NOTE

• This track's heavy braking zones (T1, T5) combined with the 296's turbo torque punch out of T9 means diff coast (0.55) and slightly softer rear ARB are critical — too much coast locks the rear under late braking into T1, while too little power lock wheelspins out of T9 onto the longest straight, costing more lap time than any other single factor.

TRACK GUIDE

• T1 Castrol Kurve: Brake extremely late but prioritize stability over outright late-braking heroics — any lockup here costs multiple tenths; trail brake to rotate, get back to throttle early for the uphill run.
• T3/T4: Committed, near-flat — stabilize the rear with smooth inputs; lifting here costs more than it saves since the car goes light over the crest.
• T5 Jochen Rindt: Heavy brake zone after the back straight — match front bias and trail-brake to rotate without inducing snap oversteer; this is a major tyre-deg zone, so be progressive on worn tyres.
• T9 Hans Ernst: The most important corner on the lap — sacrifice a little entry speed for a clean, early throttle application; exit speed defines straight-line speed into the following lap's T1 braking zone.
• Manage TC2 and throttle discipline out of T2 and T9 especially in the second half of a stint as rear tyres degrade — over-driving traction zones here is where aggress
