Mercedes AMG GT3 2020

The Mercedes AMG GT3 2020 features a highly adjustable brake system centered around dual master cylinder configurations and three brake pad compounds. Seven master cylinder sizes (15.9mm to 23.8mm) are available for both front and rear axles, allowing precise control over brake line pressure and pedal feel. Larger cylinders reduce line pressure and shift bias away from that axle while increasing pedal effort, while smaller cylinders do the opposite. This system works in conjunction with brake pressure bias adjustment and must be tuned as a complete package—different master cylinder combinations will require different bias values to achieve the same balance.

The car's comprehensive ABS system offers 12 settings: positions 1-5 for wet conditions (1 for heavy rain, 5 for light rain), 7-11 for dry slicks (decreasing intervention as numbers increase), and 12 to disable completely. This flexibility allows you to match electronic intervention to track conditions and driving style. When combined with adjustable brake pad compounds (Low, Medium, High friction), the system provides exceptional adaptability across varying grip levels and temperatures.

Braking stability is heavily influenced by aerodynamic platform control—excessive rear ride height changes under braking can trigger forward balance shifts and downforce loss simultaneously, creating instability. Setup should prioritize consistent ride heights through the braking zone via appropriate spring rates and damper settings, particularly low-speed compression damping which controls weight transfer rate during initial brake application.
