Braking Po!nts
Note: Braking points in this guide are set for HOTLAP only.
In this Corner Guide you’ll find all the key details for every turn on the circuit – from braking points, recommended gears, to curb usage. Each corner is broken down so you know exactly where to brake, which gear to choose, and how to use the entry, inside, and exit curbs to maximize lap time.
Use this guide as your reference to master consistency, improve pace, and get the most out of every lap.

Setups
Here you can explore a complete collection of setups designed for every condition on track.Choose between Qualifying setups for maximum one-lap pace, Race setups for consistency and tyre management, or Wet setups to stay competitive in difficult conditions.
BrakePo+nt Setup → balanced downforce, offering a mix of speed and stability.
Safe Setup → highest downforce, best grip in corners, more stable but slower on straights.
Aggressive Setup → lowest downforce, fastest on straights, but harder to handle in corners.
If parc fermé is enabled, just skip qualifying and load the race setup straight away.

Grand Prix Strategy
The Grand Prix Strategy gives you everything you need to prepare for both qualifying and the race.
You’ll find details like outlap time, fuel load, starting tyre temperatures, and the best point to activate ERS in quali. For the race, you’ll get the expected laps at half distance, recommended fuel amount, pit stop time loss, and pit limiter speed. On the right, the tyre strategy shows the fastest option, an alternative plan, and a possible two-stop strategy – including exact pit windows to help you manage tyres and race pace.

Quali Usage:
For the fastest qualifying laps, it’s important to adapt your ERS mode to each section of the track. Smart energy management ensures you extract maximum performance across a single lap. Never use HOTLAP — only on long straights after pressing OVERTAKE, but it’s usually better to just stay on OVERTAKE longer.

Race Usage:
During the race, use OVERTAKE only in short bursts on the straights, keep MEDIUM active for most of the lap, and switch to NONE through corners to recover energy efficiently.
Circuit info
The Circuit Info section provides a quick overview of the track.
It includes the lap counts for race and sprint, total circuit length, number of DRS zones, and possible overtaking spots. You’ll also find the pole position side, reference AI lap time at 110%, and key ratings such as track grip, tyre wear, downforce level, and average speed.
Use this information to understand the character of the circuit and prepare your setups and strategy accordingly.

Tips and tricks

Setup tips:

Aerodynamics:
A low downforce setup works best here, but keep the rear wing higher to maintain stability through the technical sections.
Transmission:
Go for a more conservative diff setup to prioritise stability.
Suspension:
A high rake helps eliminate understeer and keeps the car sharp in tighter corners.
Brakes:
Running a higher brake bias offsets the diff setup and improves braking stability into heavy stops.
Tyres:
Tyre wear isn’t as demanding as on other tracks, so adjust pressures freely for the best balance.

Race tips:

Heavy braking zones are prime overtaking spots, but precision is key to avoid lockups.
Be smooth through the 90° corners, focusing on clean exits for the long straights.
The castle section demands patience and accuracy – minimal steering inputs keep the car stable.
Stay tight and controlled in the technical mid-sector, as overdriving leads to contact with walls.
Manage traction out of slower corners to maximise speed down the straights.
A low-drag setup pays off – maximise ERS and DRS usage on the long main straight.
