F1 24 Canada Setup (Updated For New Handling Patch)

Montreal's Circuit Gilles Villeneuve plays host to Round Nine in the 2024 F1 season. With snappy transitions, long DRS straights, and the slow hairpin at the far end, Canada asks a lot of racers during a lap of Notre Dame Island.

Montreal is a true test of concentration and consistency. Therefore, you'll need a good F1 24 Canada setup, updated for the new handling patch.

F1 24 Canada Setup

The Canadian Grand Prix has been a fixture on the Formula 1 calendar since the 1960s. The event was moved to Montreal in 1978 and has remained there ever since.

The Circuit Gilles Villeneuve wraps around Ile Notre Dame in the Saint Lawrence River. The circuit is named in honor of the nation's first winning F1 driver, with Villeneuve Senior famously winning here in 1978.

This is a high-speed street circuit with chicanes make up the majority of its corners. Despite that, however, there are still low-speed sections ready to catch you out when you least expect it.

The weather can always play a part too in Canada, with sun turning to rain at a moment's notice. The track has been resurfaced for 2024 too, with the surface of the track now an unknown quantity for drivers.

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

Despite the multiple long straights in Canada, you'll need to turn those wing angles up for your Aerodynamics.

To ensure responsive and consistent steering, the Front Wing Aero needs to be up at 35. On the rear, to ensure stability, we recommend 30.

Transmission sets how the car's wheels rotate and the Differential dictates how differently the wheels can rotate in relation to each other.

For Canada, you're best going with the default values of 20% for on and off throttle diff, as this provides the best balance overall.

New for 2024 is the Engine Braking setting and this sets how rapidly the car slows down when off the throttle. As usual for F1 24, this will need to be at the max of 100%.

Suspension Geometry

Unlike most circuits in F1 24, you won't need the lowest Camber angles available.

In fact, to help tyre life, you're best off with the highest values of -3.50 on the front and -2.20 on the rear.

Your Toe settings should be at the minimum angles of 0.00, though, as this helps with your available mechanical grip.

Suspension

The Suspension is the most detailed area of the F1 car to set up in F1 24. We'll start with the springs, which set how the car reacts to bumps and curbs.

The Front Suspension needs to be as stiff as possible at 38 to ensure a responsive front end. The Rear Suspension, though, has to be softer at 6 to ride over the curbs in Canada.

Thanks to the many chicanes in Montreal, your Front Anti-Roll bar needs to be low at 6 with the rear even lower at 4 to help prevent the car developing snap oversteer.

Despite the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve being a very flat track, the Front and Rear Ride Height need to be slightly higher than you'd expect at 25-60. This is to help ride some of the curbs during a lap.

Brakes

Brake failures in Canada are common, as there are multiple big stops around each lap here. 95% Brake Pressure allows you to be consistent when getting on the anchors.

The Brake Bias should be weighted 55% towards the front axle and this provides an ideal balance between the front and rear of the car.

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 will help with those long stints in Canada.
