The Ferrari 488 GTE succeeded the 458 with a twin-turbo V8 and an aerodynamic package developed for the revised GTE regulations.

Aerodynamics

Its double front splitter, exhaust-blown diffuser and underbody vortex generators helped increase downforce while reducing drag relative to the 458. These are features of the car's design, not driver-adjustable aerodynamic targets.

Competition background

Ferrari secured the 2016 GT manufacturers' world title in the car's first season, with wins including Silverstone, Spa and the Nürburgring.

General practice tips

Tip 1

Starting point

Start with the official setup and consult the simulator documentation for available controls. Appropriate brake bias depends on the car and conditions.

Tip 2

One variable

Change one setting at a time and compare several laps. Record the change and observed behavior before keeping it.

Tip 3

Comparable conditions

Compare similar fuel loads, tires and track conditions. One lap alone does not establish that a setting is better.

Frequently asked questions

General guidance for practicing and consulting car-specific sources.

Where can I find settings for the Ferrari 488 GTE?

Consult the official sources linked on this page and the setup supplied with the simulator. Available settings depend on the car.

How should I compare a setup change?
