Audi R8 LMS EVO II GT3

Mid-engined · Naturally aspirated V10 · Downforce 3/5

Exceptional over kerbs and very stable when it is in its window — but that window is narrow, and outside it the car goes away quickly.

Keeping the tyres in their working range matters more here than anything else; a car out of its window will not come back on its own.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Unsettled over kerbs
Kerb behaviour is a strength here — if it is unsettled, something else is wrong.
Falls off over the stint
Narrow window: degradation usually means pressures drifted out of it, not that the balance is wrong.
