Telemetry Data

Suspension

[!] Mid-corner understeer and a tendency to feel a bit stiff on entry.

Stiffen the rear suspension slightly and soften the front to encourage rotation. Lowering the ride height will improve center of gravity and responsiveness.

Front Ride Height

-5mm

Rear Ride Height

-5mm

Anti-Roll Bars

[!] Understeer on corner entry and mid-corner.

Increase the stiffness of the rear anti-roll bar to help the car rotate, and slightly decrease the front ARB if understeer persists.

Front ARB

3/5

Rear ARB

4/5

Differential

[!] Understeer on corner exit due to AWD system's tendency to distribute power.

Tune the LSD to allow for more slip on corner exit, helping to reduce understeer and improve rotation. Increase acceleration sensitivity slightly.

Initial Torque

15

Accel Sensitivity

35

Decel Sensitivity

20

Brakes

Due to its stable nature, a slightly rearward bias can help with turn-in rotation without compromising stability.

Brake Bias

5/5

[!] Track Analysis — Red Bull Ring

Turn 1-2 Complex (Remus & Rothmans)

Downshift to 2nd for Turn 1, 3rd for Turn 2.

Heavy braking zone into a sharp right-hander followed by a quick left-hander

Brake hard and late for Turn 1, aiming for a late apex to carry momentum through the left-hand Turn 2. Trail brake into Turn 1 to help rotate the car, then get on the power early for Turn 2, being mindful of track limits.

Turn 3-4 (Hella-Pag)

3rd gear for both corners.

Uphill right-hander followed by a downhill left-hander

Maintain a consistent line through the uphill Turn 3, looking to get a good run onto the short straight. For Turn 4, brake firmly and carry good speed, being aware of the downhill gradient which can unsettle the car. The key is smooth inputs.

Turn 8-9 (Castrol Edge)

Downshift to 3rd for Turn 8, stay in 3rd or briefly shift to 4th depending on car speed for Turn 9.

Double apex right-hander

This is a crucial section for lap time. Brake before Turn 8, taking a wider entry to hit the first apex. Short shift or short coast through the middle to set up for the second, tighter apex of Turn 9. Get on the power as early as possible, but be smooth to avoid wheelspin on the exit.
