Setup and Data for the BMW M Hybrid V8 for Daytona.

BMW M Hybrid V8

As all the hypercars, this one relies on downforce to produce lap time. In the slow turns it will hardly outpace a GT3, but once there is sufficient air flower over and under the chassis, this is producing a ton of grip! Hypercars per rulebook are not very rake sensitive, both in terms of drag and downforce. So if you are a good driver, plenty of rake should work without requiring max wing. The key to laptime is in the brake. Hard initially and then staying on top of the grip limit as it constantly becomes less with the downforce fading quickly. The hypercars are quite heavy, so transitions in fast turns can be challenging, be a little gentle here and allow the car to grip up.

Daytona

An all time classic dominated by slow turns, long straights and that one chicane. The better of a driver you are, the less downforce we will run here. Top speed is almost everything, yet, in endurance races, we want to survive first and foremost, so a click more wing won't hurt. This track requires late apexes in the infield and a gentle foot on the brakes to trail long and deep into the slow turns. 

Tires

Use Soft slicks for cold temps, like on this time trial lap.
Medim slicks for up to 25°C-ish 
Hard slicks for 30°C+ - it depends a bit on the track layout, when tires start to get yellow, perhaps a harder compound is better. And equally when they stay below 60°C, go for a softer compound.

Adjustments

• more wing for more neutral balance
• adjusting the differential is very impactful, less degrees mean more locking. More locking during coast makes the car more stable, but more locking on power can make the rear snappy
• softening the rear in comparison to the front (or stiffening the front compared to rear) will also both make the car more stable. ARB for small changes, spring for bigger changes.

Race

For the race add a click of wing to cope with the balance shift due to fuel.

There should be a ghost if you use time trial leaderboard, where you'll find my lap.
