Hungary might not provide the best racing in the real world, but on the virtual track, there's plenty of action. Overtakes are possible, but you need a car beneath you that you can trust.
To achieve that, you'll need a good F1 24 Hungary setup, updated for the new handling patch.
Best F1 24 Hungary Setup
The Hungaroring definitely splits opinion among F1 fans. Some enjoy the challenging corners and elevation changes, while others find the layout boring and predictable.
The middle sector in particular is corner after corner, meandering through the landscape at slow speeds. This is the section where cars mostly fall in line, with no one risking the overtake.
Sometimes, however, the racing gods do smile on Hungary. We have seen some incredible moments at the Hungaroring, meaning on the right day there is a race to be won.
F1 24's handling was criticized by F1 Esports drivers and seasoned content creators upon release. The game has since been patched, with this setup best suited to the game post-patch.

Aerodynamics
Hungary's abundance of hairpins and other slow corners mean you need to stick to the track as much as possible.
A 50 front wing and 40 rear wing will keep you grounded, but will reduce top speed down the two main straights.
Transmission
Transmission settings have a new option in F1 24, along with a new engine braking option. This sets how much speed is scrubbed off when off the throttle and pushed back into the ERS battery pack.
This may change as we discover more about the setting, but right now a maximum 100% setting is the best option.
The differential dictates how differently the rear wheels can rotate when on and off the throttle.
The on-throttle should be set to 50%, and the off-throttle should be set to 50%. This will boost the car out of the slower corners, in particular the final two hairpins, without causing you to spin out.
Suspension Geometry
In previous years you would set camber all the way right and toe all the way left. This year, as things currently stand, that creates some difficulty in car balance.
As a result, we have gone with -3.5 and -2.2 for the camber settings and 0.0 for both toe settings. This will help pull the car around the tighter corners.
Suspension
Suspension is the most detailed section of your F1 24 setup and can be extremely personal to your driving style and skill level.
Hungary's corners mean a stiff 41 front suspension with a looser 1 rear suspension is desirable.
Anti-roll bar sets how the car pitches during changes of direction. Hungary's curbs favor a stiffer setup, so anti-roll bars of 20 on the front and 15 on the rear are about right.
The Ride Height also needs to be low to benefit the downforce. 25 on the front and 55 on the rear will help generate the extra ground effect to keep the car stuck to the road.
Brakes
Hungary is loaded with demanding braking zones. For this, your Brake Pressure needs to be high at 95%.
It also helps if your braking bias is weighted more towards the front than usual. Setting the front to 55% provides the ideal balance.
Tyres
Maximizing the tyre pressures are the best option in F1 24. This will increase performance without sacrificing too much tyre life.
Setting 29.5 psi on the front and 26.5 psi on the rear is best to prevent graining while constantly cornering.
