Setup finder
Ranked for that exact combination. Anything your car's garage won't let you change is greyed out, not quietly dropped. 18 cars, 25 layouts, 172 corners, 10 symptoms.

Cars
Acura ARX-06
GTP · mid-engine
LMDh on the ORECA chassis. Spec hybrid and gearbox as per the class.
Acura NSX GT3 EVO 22
GT3 · mid-engine
Sharp turn-in and strong brakes, but genuinely setup-sensitive — it rewards a dialled car and punishes a rough one more than most of the field.
Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO
GT3 · front-engine
Stable, planted and forgiving, and it takes kerbs harder than most. A touch of understeer comes with the front-engine layout; floaty on turn-in unless you trail brake.
Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3
GT3 · mid-engine
Exceptional over kerbs and very stable when it's in its window — but that window is narrow, and outside it the car goes away quickly.
BMW M Hybrid V8
GTP · mid-engine
LMDh on the Dallara chassis. Same spec hybrid and gearbox as the Cadillac and 963.
BMW M2 Racing (G87)
Spec / fixed setup · front-engine
Heavier and far more powerful than the other rookie car, and it drives like it. Front-engined and rear-driven with real torque, so it will step the rear on exit in a way the MX-5 never does, and it carries more speed into a corner than a beginner expects to have to lose.
BMW M4 GT3 EVO
GT3 · front-engine
Widely reckoned the most forgiving GT3 in the game. Stable, excellent over kerbs, and it tells you clearly what it's doing.
Cadillac V-Series.R
GTP · mid-engine
LMDh on the spec Dallara chassis. Glued above about 160 km/h, heavy and reluctant to rotate below it.
Chevrolet Corvette Z06 GT3.R
GT3 · mid-engine
Heavy-feeling and strong in a straight line. Linear naturally aspirated power makes throttle work honest and predictable.
Ferrari 296 GT3
GT3 · mid-engine
Balanced and forgiving, one of the easier cars to be immediately quick in, and notably good in the wet.
Ferrari 499P
GTP · mid-engine
The odd one out: an LMH, not an LMDh — Ferrari's own chassis with a front-axle hybrid rather than the spec rear-axle system the others share.
Ford Mustang GT3
GT3 · front-engine
Front-running pace with exceptional tyre life — the endurance pick. Naturally aspirated, so power arrives predictably.
Lamborghini Huracán GT3 EVO
GT3 · mid-engine
Outstanding mid-corner balance and rewarding to drive on the limit. Linear NA power.
Mazda MX-5 Cup
Spec / fixed setup · front-engine
Light, slow and completely honest. There is no downforce, no aero platform and nothing in the garage to change, so the car tells you exactly what you did. Momentum is the whole game: every tenth lost on entry is a tenth you never get back.
McLaren 720S GT3 EVO
GT3 · mid-engine
The highest-downforce GT3 with excellent aero consistency — it rewards fast, flowing tracks more than the rest of the class.
Mercedes-AMG GT3
GT3 · front-engine
Takes kerbs like nothing else in the class. Naturally aspirated V8, front-engined, and generally an easy car to lean on.
Porsche 911 GT3 R (992)
GT3 · rear-engine
The only rear-engined car in the class and it behaves like it: huge traction on exit, a nervous rear on entry, and a high skill ceiling.
Porsche 963
GTP · mid-engine
LMDh on the Multimatic chassis. Shares the spec gearbox and hybrid with the rest of the LMDh field, so it behaves far more like its rivals than a GT3 does.
