Setup Notes

Use preload to tune the car to your driving style.

Higher Preload = Less rotation on entry, more rotation on exit

Lower Preload = More rotation on entry, less rotation on exit

Also consider lowering your usual FFB Multiplier, as the track's banked corners due add quite some additional force.

 

Corner By Corner Driving Guide

T1 - Yes, it's fastest to intentionally lock the inside front tyre and let the car "drift around" it over one lap - Keep in mind that you can't do that if you want your tyres to maintain performance for long.

T2/T3 - Brake in the middle of the outside curb entering T2, then focus on hitting the inside camber as much as possible. All you are working on here is opening up T4, do not focus on the speed you carry into here, but how much to the outside you can set up the car for T4.

T4 - Take a very high line into here, do not at all aim for the natrual apex. Use the corner's banking. You want to do an aggressive steering input right around the middle of the corner, making it more of a V-style than U-style. Be aware that the car does generate quite some understeer here on exit, only go back to full throttle when you are absolutely sure that you will not have to back out again!

T6/T7 - Juuust about flat-out on fresh tyres. Don't shy away from using plenty of steering input to make the kinks, and always aim to perfectly hit the very inside apex, as grip is a lot higher here than when drifitng slightly past it,

T8 - Car will get twitchy into here! You can already start lifiting up the T7 elevation a bit to generate more stability. Again, really make sure to follow the inside curb as closely as possible, that's where the camber of the corner gives you plenty of extra grip for free!

T9 - Stay in 4th gear before T9, even if you hit the rev limiter for a second. Brake at the 100m board on the left, then aim for the inside curb, BUT DO NOT touch its higher part, it can unsettle the car a lot.

T10 - Slow in, fast out. Brake early so you maintain a more stable platform. You want to be able to go back to full throttle as soon as the inside curb ends again, and ideally not track out all the way to the left, so you can start setting up T11 early.

T11 - Be on the outside early, open up the corner as much as possible. Again, go in slow. It will keep the rear more stable and be faster too. You are looking to be back to full throttle again before the inside curb ends.

T12/T13 - Brake between the 150m and 100m boards. You can take the high inside curb, but the cut track detection is rather strict. Remember, you have to be (close to) fully off the throttle to then complete your downshift into 2nd between both apexes. Hook around the inside curb of the 2nd apex and just keep watching your rears as you increase your throttle input, easy to get some wheel spin here.

T14 - Brake and turn-in just before the 50m marker. Longest straight of the track is coming up, so once again make sure you can be flat-out again before the inside curb ends.

T15 - The higher you run, the more understeer the car will generate. It will also bottom slightly and reduce overall acceleration/speed. So hook the very inside of the corner for as long as possible, there is no need to open up the steering and move up the banking early, it will be slower.
