Aerodynamics:
High downforce is essential here – you need maximum grip for the slow, technical corners.
Transmission:
Keep the diff open on entry for rotation, then slightly more locked on exit to secure traction.
Suspension:
Soft–medium setup absorbs kerbs but stays stiff enough to keep the car sharp. A slightly raised ride height helps manage bumps and kerbs.
Brakes:
Medium pressure works best – it’s easy to lock up, so aim for a balanced setup.
Tyres:
Rear tyres overheat easily due to frequent traction zones – manage temps carefully throughout the lap.
Traction is everything – manage throttle carefully out of slow corners to avoid wheelspin.
Be patient in the technical sections – smooth steering and braking inputs are more effective than aggression.
Kerbs can unsettle the car, so use them sparingly and stay controlled.
Prioritise clean exits from heavy braking zones to maximise speed onto the straights.
Stay consistent through the tight middle sector, as rhythm and flow are key to lap time.
The final chicane and last sector demand precision – don’t overdrive, focus on stability to finish the lap strong.
