In the current iRacing (2024 Season 2) setup for this series, both a qualifying setup and a race setup are provided, automatically adjusting as you progress through sessions.
Thrustmaster T300RS GT Steering Wheel & Pedal Set
The T300 is a proven mid-range wheel with smooth belt-driven force feedback and a responsive brushless motor for clear track feel. An 11-inch leather wheel, solid three-pedal GT set, and PS5, PS4, and PC compatibility give racers the precision to brake later, hold tighter lines, and improve lap after lap.

In the race setup, the default wing position is set to -2 inches, but you have the option to adjust it forward to zero. Keep in mind, on larger tracks like Port Royal, moving the wing forward may result in increased speed but could also lead to some looseness in the corners.
Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0
Master your laps without dominating the room. The Next Level Racing Wheel Stand 2.0 stands rock-solid for direct-drive wheels, yet folds away in seconds when real life calls. Full adjustability for wheel, pedals, and shifter lets a man settle into his proper position the honest way. A clever chair cradle keeps your seat planted under hard braking, while predrilled mounts welcome Thrustmaster, Fanatec, Logitech, and the rest. Upgrade later to a full cockpit with the GTSeat add-on. Serious performance, sensible footprint—no compromises required.

For optimal lap times, especially on tacky tracks, aim to hug the bottom line. However, if the track starts to dry out, you may find the racing line shifting upwards, possibly even utilizing the outside berm. Nevertheless, the bottom line will generally offer the best grip, with the middle potentially coming into play if marbles accumulate.
With this momentum-focused car, you should be able to maintain full throttle for the majority of the race. To maximize speed, focus on keeping the car as straight as possible and minimizing steering inputs.
When entering turn one, aim to hug the inside wall closely. Stay low around the pit opening in the middle of the turn. Avoid pinching the car down low on exit; instead, allow it to naturally drift up towards the outside wall as you approach the straightaway. Similar principles apply to turns three and four.
