Ligier JS P320

An LMP3 prototype: aero and platform dominate once the speed is up, and mechanical grip decides the slow corners. It is a different job from a GT car.

Keep the car calm at speed, and be patient in the slow corners, where mechanical grip decides the lap.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Nervous at high speed

A lift at speed dumps aero load. Settle the car before changing your mind.

Steps out on entry

Big brakes, light rear. Soften the release.

Pushes at the apex

When aero is gone, mechanical grip is all you have. Do not ask for GT3 mid-corner miracles.

What this car's answers lean on

3. Damper clicks used more than on most cars like it
4. Braking system — bias, ABS, pressure

6. Tyre pressures
7. Differential and engine braking
8. Anti-roll bars
9. Spring rates
10. In-car driver aids and gearing
11. Camber, toe, caster

What you cannot change on this car
