Tyre force demand around a Ferrari 296 GT3 exterior outlineOne continuous line traces the fixed car perimeter. Springs attach to that perimeter. The small blue platform is inside the car, shifting and pivoting with setup and driving conditions. Front-wheel steering and platform tilt are exaggerated for visibility.

What the model is telling you

OBSERVATIONS, NOT SETUP PRESCRIPTIONS

Assumed force demand

The circles compare requested combined force with a fictional load-sensitive capacity. They do not measure slip or available grip.

Rear axle works harder

Compare brake allocation, rear-wheel power and roll-load distribution under this same maneuver. This is a demand balance, not a prediction of understeer or oversteer.

Aero grows with speed

Wing and rake affect the assumed aero map. The small box is a qualitative platform cue, not a measured centre of pressure.
