The position of the traction control switch determines how aggressively the ecu cuts engine torque in reaction to rear wheel
spin. 3 positions are available. Settings 1-3 range from least intervention/sensitivity (position 3) through to highest intervention/
sensitivity (position 1). Position 2 is the recommended baseline setting. More intervention will result in less wheelspin and less
rear tire wear but can reduce overall performance if the traction control is cutting engine torque too aggressively and stunting
corner exit acceleration.
A B S SE T T ING
The current ABS map the car is running. 12 positions are available. Position 1 has the least intervention/support while position
11 has the most support. Position 12 disables the ABS completely. Position 2 is the recommended baseline setting. More
intervention reduces the possibility of and the duration of lockups during braking but can result in longer braking distances if the
system is set overly aggressive for the amount of available grip.

FRONT CORNERS

C ORNE R W EIGH T
The weight underneath each tire under static conditions in the garage. Correct weight arrangement around the car is crucial for
optimizing a car for a given track and conditions. Individual wheel weight adjustments and crossweight adjustments are made via
the spring perch offset adjustments at each corner.
FRON T RIDE HEIGH T
Distance from ground to a reference point on the chassis. Since these values are measured to a specific reference point on the
car, these values may not necessarily reflect the vehicle's ground clearance, but instead provide a reliable value for the height of
the car off of the race track at static values. Adjusting Ride Heights is key for optimum performance, as they can directly influence
the vehicle's aerodynamic performance as well as mechanical grip. Increasing front ride height will decrease front downforce
as well as decrease overall downforce, but will allow for more weight transfer across the front axle when cornering. Conversely,
reducing ride height will increase front and overall downforce, but reduce the weight transfer across the front axle. Minimum legal
front ride height is 50.0 mm.
