Setup Notes
Setup was done having focus on being stable allowing to be more consistent and aggressive through the stint. Fixed setup is peaky and loose in the wrong moments, the aim is to more carry speed with stable platform and grip.

Le Mans tips and tricks
Below you can find an overview on the driving approach on Le Mans, filled with tips and details, aligned together with telemetry and onboard data, hopefully improve your driving on this legendary track! Enjoy :)
Driving
-
Dunlop T1-T3: Try to be patient with braking and steering, and make sure you priortize car rotation from T2-T3 to maximize corner exit
-
Esses: Keep as tight as possible in the corner entry and left-hand side corner, but avoid fully going over the kerbs, so you dont lose momentum
-
Tertre Rouge: Important to maximize track width, going over the left kerb to attack the corner carrying good minimum speed (avoid going over drainage after exit kerb so you dont get off-track)
-
2nd Chicane: Again, important to use all track width to carry speed into the first leg of the chicane (dip front tires over the kerb both kerbs to help rotate the car)
-
3rd Chicane: Same approach as 2nd Chicane
-
Mulsanne: Brake straight and wide, so you can setup good exit for Indy straight
-
Indianapolis: Set the corner entry on the green paint, with smooth braking application avoid attacking over the left-hand kerb, and keep the car on the right side close to the kerb to setup proper exit, patience with the throttle on rotation so you dont understeer into the gravel
-
Arnage: Middle of the car on the red paint, so you brake a bit over the kerb and have better exit on straight
-
Porsche pt1: Smooth braking and steering to help point the car at high speed into the line (dont attack kerbs upfront, drive around it), And keep negotiating the car on throttle
-
Porsche pt2: Approach is similar to pt1, but on the final right and left handers, its important to maximize momentum with throttle control
-
Ford Chicanes: Avoid braking too late and too wide, so you can manage the chicanes keeping momentum and setting a good exit towards the Start/Finish Line
