Aerodynamics, transmission and suspension
Aerodynamically, set 7 for the front wing and 6 for the rear wing so you can attack corners well and have a good top speed. A 7-7 configuration will also work well.
For transmission, set 50% for throttle adjustment and 70% for adjusting nut. In suspension geometry, you should keep the first 2 settings the same due to the stability they offer, but change the front to 0,09 and the rear to 0,29 as this will give you the best traction.
In the suspension, the best setting for balanced traction and top speed is 7 for the front suspension, 2 for the rear, 7 for the front anti-roll bar, 4 for the rear stabilizer, and 5 for the front and rear ground clearance.
Brakes, tires and weights
For the brakes, you need an offset to the rear as there are many sharp turns in the form of hairpins and chicanes on this track. Set the front brake balance to 56%, while the brake pressure should be 82% for quick acceleration.
Tire pressure is your personal preference: you can choose the settings you like, or just leave it at the default. The weight distribution should be 7 so you can be fast and still slide easily.
As you know, all the settings are based on the fact that there are a lot of corners on the Melbourne track, so a lot of traction is a must, and shifting the weight to the rear not only does this, but also prevents the wheels from locking up during the race.
