Aston Martin Vantage GT3 EVO

GT3 · Front-engined · Twin-turbo V8 · Downforce 3/5

Stable, planted and forgiving, and it takes kerbs harder than most. A touch of understeer comes with the front-engine layout; floaty on turn-in unless you trail brake.

Where to start. Coast ramp and bias for entry, front bar at the apex, drive ramp before TC on exit.

Symptoms this car reads differently

These notes appear alongside the ranked answer whenever you pick that symptom.

Won't turn in / pushes on entry

Front-engine layout gives this car a baseline push — expect to work at the front end more than in a mid-engined GT3.

Spins up / snaps on exit

Turbo torque arrives suddenly. Try throttle discipline before you add lock.

What this car's answers lean on

In order: what this car reaches for first when something is wrong. GT3 sets the baseline, and anything this car weighs differently says so.

1. Differential and engine braking more than the archetype
2. Braking system — bias, ABS, pressure
3. Anti-roll bars
4. Free changes — driving, not setup
5. Tyre pressures
6. In-car driver aids and gearing
7. Damper clicks

What you cannot change on this car

Still shown, struck through at the rank they earned — partly so the list is honest, partly because they open up as you move up a class.

Shorter gearing

Gearing is fixed on this car.

Stiffer heave / third spring

No third spring on this car.
