Ligier JS P320

The Ligier JS P320 features adjustable front and rear master cylinders that allow precise brake bias tuning, complemented by on-the-fly adjustment capability via steering wheel controls. This dual-adjustment system gives drivers flexibility to optimize braking balance for different track conditions and corner types. The manual recommends mapping brake bias controls before your first session, enabling real-time adjustments as tire temperatures change or fuel loads decrease throughout a stint.

Brake bias should be tuned around the 50% baseline, with adjustments based on both driver preference and track characteristics. Forward bias increases stopping power but raises the risk of front-locking under heavy braking, while rearward bias can induce rotation on entry but requires careful modulation to avoid rear instability. The relationship between master cylinder size and line pressure is inverse—larger cylinders reduce line pressure and require more pedal effort to lock wheels, while smaller cylinders increase pressure and reduce the effort needed.

Camber settings directly impact braking performance, as higher negative camber values increase cornering grip but reduce longitudinal grip under braking. Finding the balance between mid-corner performance and straight-line braking stability is crucial. Additionally, rear toe-in can be increased if you need more braking stability, particularly on tracks with heavy braking zones or when running aggressive differential preload settings that might otherwise destabilize the rear under deceleration.
