Every car in GPRO has 6 setup parameters that determine how fast you go on each track. Getting these right is the difference between winning and finishing last.
Wings generate downforce — more downforce means better cornering but lower top speed. High-downforce tracks like Monaco need high wing values (700+), while low-downforce tracks like Monza need low values (200-400). The Wing Split (difference between front and rear) affects car balance.
The engine setting controls power delivery. It's influenced by your driver's aggressiveness and experience. Higher aggressiveness = higher engine values. Tracks with long straights need more engine power.
Brake setup affects stopping power and stability in braking zones. Your driver's talent directly influences the optimal brake value. Tracks with heavy braking zones (like Monza) need different brake settings than flowing circuits.
The gearbox controls acceleration out of corners. Concentration is the key driver attribute here. Tracks with many slow corners benefit from optimized gearbox settings.
Suspension determines mechanical grip and tyre wear. Experience and weight are the main driver factors. Tracks with bumpy surfaces or high tyre wear need careful suspension tuning.
Temperature changes setup values significantly — about 6 points per degree for wings in dry conditions. This is why Q1 at 9°C and Q2 at 14°C have completely different wing values. GPRO Calculator automatically adjusts for each session's temperature.
The V6 formula calculates setup as: Setup = TrackBase + Weather + Driver + Car
GPRO Calculator computes all of this automatically from your GPRO API data.
