Setup Management for GT and Touring Car Racers
GT and touring car categories combine heavy, powerful cars with long races, driver changes and strict tyre allocations. The setup must suit two drivers, survive a stint of tyre degradation and be adjusted within the rules between sessions. Setup Genius tracks setups per session and driver, keeps tyre sets with lap counts and heat cycles, and records the differential, brake and damper changes that GT cars depend on.
| Area | Why it matters | Glossary |
|---|---|---|
| Differential | Traction out of slow corners with high torque | Differential setup |
| Brake bias | Shifts with fuel load and tyre wear over a stint | Brake bias |
| Tyre management | Allocation limits and degradation over long runs | Tyre pressure, Tyre temperature spread |
| Aero and ride height | Splitter and wing sensitivity, series minimums | Aero balance, Ride height |
| Balance | Roll stiffness split for heavy cars | Anti-roll bar, Weight transfer |
Two drivers, one car
A shared car needs a setup both drivers can live with. Recording each driver's sessions separately, with their lap times and feedback, shows where the compromise sits. Over a season the pattern of what each driver asks for becomes data instead of debate.
Tyres over a stint
Long runs mean pressure, temperature and balance all move through the stint. Recording cold pressures, hot pressures at the end of the run and temperature spread per set shows how the car evolves and which starting pressures give the best average over the stint.
Frequently asked questions
Can I track tyre allocations across a weekend?
Yes. Each tyre in the bank has a lap count and session history, and sets can be assigned to setups per session.
Do you support ABS and traction control settings?
Add them as template fields. Many GT templates track ABS level, TC level and engine map per session.
How many vehicles can a two-car team have?
Elite covers 5 vehicles and 5 drivers; Teams is unlimited.
