Mercedes-AMG GT4

Front-engined AMG GT4: stable when you give it time, kerb-tolerant for the class, and still a GT4 — less aero than the GT3 AMG, so mechanical grip carries more of the lap.

Use the kerbs you can settle on, and fix the entry with a cleaner brake release before chasing mid-corner speed.

Symptoms this car reads differently

Pushes on entry

Front-engine baseline push. Trail less, or slow the release.

Unsettled over kerbs

Kerb tolerance is a strength relative to skittish mid-engined GT4s — if it is unsettled, check stiffness before balance.

Snaps on exit

Turbo surge on a cold tyre. Build in.
