Week 12 LFM Set ups for Watkins Glen and the Nurburgring are now LIVE!
Our set ups for the final week of the LFM calendar are now live! Subscribers can now view and download our most recent set ups in the google drive, under the LFM tab. For week 12 we arrive at the world famous Nurburgring in the GT3 Series and Watkins Glen in the GT3 Sprint! As always, our drivers have been busy at work creating the fastest set ups possible! Keep an eye out on the LFM leaderboards to see just how fast we are!
WEEK 12 OVERVIEW
For the final week of the LFM calendar we arrive at the Nurburgring in the GT3 Series. An iconic circuit known worldwide, but most famous for the 20.8km (12.9 miles) Nordschleife, featuring 154 corners. However, we are using the Grand Prix circuit which was first opened in 1984 in response to safety concerns with ‘the green hell’. The Nurburgring provides the driver with a complex challenge of difficult breaking points, as well as medium to high speed corners. To be fast here, you need a car that can perform well under braking and is predictable in the corners to give the driver confidence.
Watkins Glen is the circuit of choice for the final week of the GT3 Sprint series. Located in the state of New York and opened in 1957, Watkins Glen has used a variety of different layouts over the years, but has settled with the long course, featuring ‘The Boot’. Measuring at 5.5Km (3.4 miles) long Watkins Glen has hosted a variety of motorsport events from Formula One to Nascar! The circuit itself provides a blend of high speed straights with technical corners through elevation. The most challenging part of the circuit is that Esses at turns 5, 6 and 7 where precise steering inputs are required. This is to ensure that the car is not unsettled, but also so that you don’t run wide, as track limits are tough here.
For this week, our drivers have created set ups for the following cars:
McLaren 720s GT3 EVO - Jeffrey Richie
Ferrari 296 GT3 - Kevin Taddei
BMW M4 GT3 - Florian Bauer
WEEK 12 PERFORMANCE
For this week, the Ferrari at the Nurburgring has taken the greatest BOP increase, with a ballast of +17kg. The McLaren and BMW have minimal BOP changes as is shown in the table below. We are only running three cars this week, the McLaren, Ferrari and BMW, however, this is a one off. The table below show’s how our drivers have performed this week!
