Data Pack Session Settings

Time of Day: Default (14:00)

Weather: Default (~25° ambient, ~46° track)

Setup Notes

Use preload to tune the car to your driving style, but I advise to keep it at a rather high value as provided in the setup for this track.

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

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

 

Corner By Corner Driving Guide

T1 - In Quali, brake at the 300m marker and have your front wheel lock for a moment. In the race, brake a bit earlier and avoid the tyre locking. In both, have 2 slow downshifts to maintain rear balance and aim to hit the lower part of the inside curb. On the exit, you need to touch the outside curb with a least 1 wheel to stay within track limits.

T2/T3/T4 - This is just about flat out, but you need to focus on hitting the correct line: Hook the inside curb through T2 to open up the entry of T3, then stay in 5th until you are in the middle of T3. Stay all the way on the inside through T4.

Chicane - Brake just before the 400m marker on the left, hard braking, mount the inside curb as much as possible, as close to the wall as possible. Downshift to 4th only on the 2nd curb. Continue mounting all the curbs until you feel to induce too much imbalance to your liking. 

T5 - You only need to lift here, but never lift fully! It will cause the rear to step out. 

T6 - Brake just before the 300m marker, slow downshift, hook the inside cambered line. I hit the downshift protection on my proivded lap, which causes me to go slightly wide.

T7 - The rear is always on the edge here! Do as much of your braking while going straight, delay your downshift into 3rd. 

T8 - Only clip the inside curb/apex at the beginning, then instantly start tracking out to the outside.

T9 - Similar to T7. Rear is on the edge. Do not brake too much while already turning. Also the longer you delay your last downshift, the more stable the rear will stay. 

T10 - Small tap of the brakes to flick the car in. Track limits on the outside are really lenient, so do use all the space you need!

T11 - Tempting too go in too fast here. Brake early and downshift early. You want to be able to go back to throttle before the apex already, so you have maximum control on how much the car will track out to the wall on exit.
