The new Ferrari. 
Once you step into the car and do your first laps, you'll immediately have a feeling of a very high tech car. It feels prototypish - probably LMDH-ish. The car is responsive like crazy. Even if you throw it around the rear will stay planted (most of the time). The TC operates cleanly, it also does not use fuel, it has good balance in wear and tire temperatures as well as barely a balance shift from the tank emptying. This is a serious competitor.

Imola
Here on Imola its all about eating the kerbs without giving up too much downforce. The ferrari can take them, if you allow it to. That means you have to have the braking sorted before hitting the kerbs and assist the car with throttle to lift the front. Addtitionally make sure the inside of the car is unloaded as much as possible to make it easier on the suspension. The last chicane is a bit rough, but the car is very good in mitigating even hard hits as it quickly regains grip after landing without too many extra bounces. Out of almost all corners emphasize corner exits over entries or mid corner speed as there's always a long enough straight ahead to gain valueable time. Into the fast turns the rear will come around a bit on the brake - the amount of braking is directly connected to the amount of oversteer here.
The TC proves tricky. While you can use TC5 around the whole lap and TC4 already allowing a few nasty snaps, what will give additional laptime is that if you can manage to fast-switch to TC1 on corner exits once the car can take it.

With fuel the car is nicer than in quali trim and feels more balanced. 


Electronics:
TC1 on 5 for both Q and Race. I would keep TC2 low or off for Q and max on 1 for the race and only adjust TC2 over the course of a stint most likely.
ABS on 3-5 seems predictable, lower seems to offer shorter distances with a bigger risk of locking up, but the car will be pulled nicely into the turn. 


Adjustments

  • The spring steps are rather small, so can be used for fine tuning. If Q is too aggressive, increase front and decrease rear spring.
  • stiffen front spring if braking into fast the corners is an issue or the car is generally too oversteery for you. Reduce rear ride height for bigger impact
  • To reduce response further you can also raise the front, but we're at the limit of losing downforce already
  • adjust rear ride height for over/understeer by 1mm steps. Raising the entire car can make it more compliant over the kerbs at moderate aero disadvantages, but the car is tolerant at low ride heights already
  • the combination of toe and camber is delicate now. Watch out for the outside of the tires cooling out - this will lead to little grip into the corners. Therefor lower cambers and positive toe can influence temperature development a lot

Driving

  • Brake straight for as long as you can manage or try a slightly diagonal braking line in the very last phase of braking for the hairpins. Very little braking input deep into the corner, the car is sensitive, but there's more grip loading the tire carefully. Coasting the car understeers a bit and the little braking will help you with keeping the nose gripped up
  • Onto the throttle don't just floor it in the slower corners, give the car some time (say, half a second) and it will thank you.
  • aim for late apex in hairpins, try to trail deep, immediate but progressive throttle, little to no coasting in tight corners, aggressive throttle in longer corners. early power is very crucial to work the diff and unload the front, but also release the power to keep rotation

Qualifying

  • Make sure to wait for Lap 3 and 4 to set your time, flying laps 1 and 2 are simply not fast, as the tire isn't ready yet.
  • negative toe will be quicker into and through the corners, but its more difficult to keep the advantage on exit, as the car is more likely to trigger too much TC - so good clean inputs are needed to also extract the time

Race setup is for full hour with 96L (36 laps). Balance barely changes with fuel level. Adjust rear ride height +-1mm to your liking or change the roll bars for small adjustments in balance. For LFM maybe worth raising the rear by a click, or adding rear spring stiffness.
