The Bentley won the 12h Bathurst in 2020 which gives enough nostalgia to drive around the track. The car really feels nice around here but might not be the outright fastest. Hence I worked on a predictable setup which doesn't use negative rear toe or min-max approaches.

You might aswell enjoy the ride and scenery on the outlap and banker lap since the tires aren't ready there. Afterwards you can start to push while the car will kind of tell you how much it can take. It really likes smooth inputs all around, from trail braking over throttle application to steering input. In fact you don't need to steer too much, since the car will eventually come around.

When comparing line and inputs, please look into the Race lap for Turns 17-18 since I totally outbraked myself there on the Q lap costing at least 2 tenth with the bad run onto the straight.

Electronics:

TC 2, 3, 4 can work for Qualifying
TC 2, 3, 4, 5 can work for Race
ABS higher if more intervention is needed.

Adjustments:

• You can adjust brake bias to your liking
• If too oversteery on the brakes, increase brake bias / decrease front bumpstop range
• adjust rear ride height for over/understeer by 1mm steps
• increase rear toe for more stability
• If you find yourself steering or overcorrecting too much, either lower front toe (more towards 0) or increase steer ratio. The car has a lot of front grip
• If the rear steps out too much, either lower front toe (more towards 0) or reduce rear anti-roll-bar
