THE HONDA NSX GT3 EVO
AERODYNAMIC BALANCE
The Honda’s aggressive stance may result in front-end scraping, requiring adjustments for bumpy circuits, which could impact downforce.
POWER OUTPUT & TRACTION CONTROL
While the engine power is thrilling, careful throttle application is needed due to rear instability, particularly in wet conditions.
BRAKING EFFICIENCY
The Honda’s braking system is forgiving, allowing drivers to easily find braking points and manage the car into corners with precision.
TYRE MANAGEMENT
Tyre management on the Honda is crucial, as rear instability could lead to uneven wear over time.

WHY HYBRID SETUPS ARE ESSENTIAL
Endurance races often feature unpredictable weather, transitioning from dry to wet over several hours. To address this, organisers may increase the weather variability coefficient, leading to conditions that can change mid-race. With our new Hybrid Setups, you have a configuration that works well in both dry conditions and medium rain, making it ideal for races with mixed weather.
KEY BENEFITS OF HYBRID SETUPS:
- Adaptability: Ideal for races with variable weather, especially when there is a high chance of both dry and wet conditions.
- Performance: These setups are optimised for 70% dry and 30% wet conditions, ensuring stable handling across different weather scenarios.
- Consistency: Hybrid setups offer reliable performance in medium rain when there are many cars on the track, simulating near-dry conditions. For heavy rain or thunderstorms, switching to a MED WET setup is recommended.
WHEN TO USE HYBRID SETUPS
- Mixed Weather Races: Perfect for endurance events where the weather forecast predicts a mix of dry and rainy conditions.
- Medium Rain: Ideal when there are 25-30+ cars on track, creating a visible dry line, allowing the car to handle almost like it’s in light rain.
- Avoid in Extreme Wet: Not suitable for heavy rain or thunderstorms; switch to a dedicated wet setup instead.
THE FIRST HYBRID SETUPS
We are proud to be the first to bring Hybrid Setups to the community. Our hybrid setups are designed to provide the perfect balance between dry and wet performance. With these setups, you can be confident that your car will handle well in various scenarios, giving you the edge you need on the track.
When in doubt between a full dry or wet setup, choose the Hybrid Setup to confidently handle most track scenarios.
