    WEEK 7 PERFORMANCE GUIDE

    This week Zolder and Valencia are the circuits being used for the GT3 Sprint and GT3 Series. Zolder is 4.2km (2.6miles) long and features possibly the two worst chicanes ever invented, but that’s just my opinion! If you can master the two deadly chicanes you are onto a winner! Thankfully our expert Esport drivers know a thing or two about Zolder and have created the fastest set ups for you, so that you can nail both chicanes every time! Don’t take my word for it, just look at our lap times in the table below!

    The Circuit Ricardo Tormo, named after two time Motorcycle World Champion Ricardo Tormo, features 15 corners at a total length of 4km (2.4 miles). A very popular circuit that has a great flow to it, which is perfect for GT3 cars. To be able to achieve the best lap times here, the car needs to be able to withstand high speed cornering without going over the white lines! Track limits can be strict here so be careful! Our drivers have hand crafted the ultimate recipe for you to try out! Take a look at our lap times below!

NAMING CONVENTION

For our LFM set ups we are using a new naming convention, so you can distinguish our LFM set ups to our normal set ups. The difference for Season 16 and beyond, is that we have shortened the track and cars names. Below demonstrates this:

WEEK 7 SUMMARY

As another week of LFM settles, we look ahead to what an exciting week this should be. If you can handle the Zolder chicanes, you’re onto a winner, and with our set ups you have the best chance! We will be back again next week at Paul Ricard and Imola, see you there!
