Tuning guide for your personal style.

Suspension

[!] Excessive body roll, dive under braking, squat under acceleration, leading to unstable handling and poor weight transfer.

Stiffen springs and anti-roll bars to reduce body movement. Adjust ride height to lower the center of gravity and fine-tune weight transfer characteristics.

Front Ride Height

-20

Rear Ride Height

-15

Anti-Roll Bars

[!] High body roll contributes to initial understeer and reduces responsiveness, making quick direction changes difficult.

Increase both front and rear anti-roll bar stiffness. A slightly stiffer front bar can help reduce understeer on entry, but be careful not to induce too much push. Balance carefully to achieve desired rotation.

Front ARB

6

Rear ARB

5

Differential

[!] Standard open differential leads to excessive wheelspin on corner exit, poor traction, and difficulty rotating the car under power.

Install a fully customizable LSD. Tune for improved traction, better power delivery, and more predictable rotation on corner exit.

Brakes

The stock brakes can be prone to fade and lack initial bite. Adjust brake balance to optimize stability under heavy braking and prevent front wheel lock-up.

[!] Track Analysis — Brands Hatch Grand Prix Circuit

Where and how to drive on this track for the best lap time.

Paddock Hill Bend

3rd/4th

Fast, downhill right-hander with blind entry

Brake heavily before the crest, aiming for a late apex. Carry significant speed down the hill, managing the car's balance to avoid oversteer due to the severe elevation drop. Be precise with steering input.

Druids

2nd

Tight, uphill hairpin

This is a critical corner for lap time due to its exit leading onto a short straight. Brake late and hard, turn in sharply, and use the throttle to rotate the car through the apex. Focus on a strong, early power application for maximum exit speed.

Hawthorns Bend / Westfield Bend

4th/5th

High-speed, flowing right-left complex with elevation

Maintain high speed through this section. Hawthorns is often a slight lift or brush of the brake, then smoothly power through Westfield. Utilize the track's camber and aim for smooth, minimal steering inputs to maintain momentum. Be aware of the downhill run into Dingle Dell.

Clearways / Clark Curve

3rd/4th

Sweeping right-hander into a tightening left leading to the main straight

Clearways is a long, arcing right-hander where throttle management is key. Transition smoothly into Clark Curve, which tightens significantly. A strong, early power application out of Clark Curve is crucial for a good run down the main straight. Avoid running wide on the exit kerb.
