• Race 105l: 1.34.165 (around 65min of fuel)

The Bentley always was good around Misano in the past due to its exceptional curb handling and great aero capabilities. It still shows great potential around here even though it needs to be tuned down a bit. This led to a setup which doesn't use negative rear toe or min-max approaches while trying to muffle most of the curbs.

Take it easy 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 do position the car and its nose before you apply throttle so that you don't need to steer too much at the exit. The rear will step out and initiate a slide if you did steer too much while applying throttle.

It might feel really slow using 2nd gear for the tight corners but it will be faster and stable since it aids traction and limits TC intervention.

Make sure you positioned the car right and brake in a straight line for Turn 12 with careful trail braking or otherwise the car wants to go sideways. If you really struggle with this corner you can also coast a bit into the corner and brake not as hard.

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 the rear steps out too much, either stiffen front springs (wheel rate) or reduce rear anti-roll-bar
