F1 24 Setups: The Best Car Setups For Every Circuit

If you're new to F1 24, you'll need the best setups for each track on the calendar. With even more customization options than F1 23, there's a lot more you need to know when configuring your car.

Let’s take a look at the best setup for every circuit in F1 24.

Nailing the setup

The biggest factor in Formula 1 is getting the setup of the car correct. It doesn’t matter how talented a driver you are; if your car isn’t right, you’re going nowhere fast.

F1 23 tweaked the setup options last year, narrowing the window for the front and rear toe while also changing how brake balance and suspension settings worked. These changes allowed players to get more creative with their setups, ultimately reducing lap times and giving them that extra competitive edge.

F1 24 has been opened up even further, allowing for even more customization. With new options available, the potential for creative setups is once again present.

F1 24 setups options

F1 24 has six main areas for setting up the car. Each affects the car differently, from generating more downforce to changing how power is utilized.

Here is each area of the car setup and how it works in F1 24:

Aerodynamics

Aerodynamics is the main contributor to the car's downforce. The front and rear wings are fine-tuned to allow air to pass over the car in very specific ways.

A higher win setup will keep the car pinned to the track when cornering, but at the cost of straight-line speed. On the other hand, lower wings will make the car more slippery on the straights but harder to corner.

Transmission

The main area of the transmission is the differential. This controls how the wheels spin in relation to one another, both when throttling and when coasting.

A locked differential keeps both rear wheels spinning at the same speed. This is preferred in areas where you need more traction. An unlocked differential allows the wheels to spin at different speeds, perfect for accelerating away from slow corners.

New to F1 24 is the Engine Braking option. This can be increased or reduced to change how the car's battery is charged by the engine. A higher setting uses the engine as well as the brakes to charge the ERS, while a lower setting reduces the amount of engine braking.

Suspension geometry

This area of the setup allows you to dictate how the tyres make contact with the tarmac. This can be achieved by adjusting the camber and toe of the front and rear wheels.

Camber is used to change the grip levels on both the straights and when cornering. This is shown by the angle of the wheel relative to the vertical plane of the car. In F1, nearly all camber setups are negative, where the top of the tyre leans in towards the car.

The toe changes the wheel's angle on the horizontal plane. It also generates heat in the rubber, maximizing grip in the corners.

Suspension

This is the largest area of the setup, focusing on how the car interacts with the track. This includes how low or high it sits relative to the tarmac, as well as how the car responds to any bumps and curbs.

Suspension changes the way the car moves under acceleration and deceleration. It also affects how the car performs through fast transitions or sudden changes in direction.

The anti-roll bars also affect the cars during cornering. Softer anti-roll bars allow for more sway during cornering, while a stiffer setup reduces the unwanted movement at the risk of losing grip.

Finally, the ride height dictates how high or low the car is positioned above the track. You want the car to be as low as possible to reduce unnecessary drag, but this puts the car at risk of bottoming out on long straights or becoming grounded on curbs.

The ride height can be combined with the aerodynamic setup to create an optimized downforce setup.

Brakes

There are two brake settings. First, the brake pressure determines the car's braking potential. A higher setting provides more braking power, while a lower setting reduces the braking available.

The front brake bias moves the braking force towards or away from the front wheels. On tracks with heavy braking zones, you want the braking performance further forward to get the car stopped in time to turn in.

Tyres

The final section of the setup changes the tyres' performance. Lower tyre pressure increases the contact patch between the wheel and the track, maximizing traction but lowering drag resistance.

A higher pressure decreases drag but at the cost of temperature and, because of that, performance.

Now we know how each area of the setup affects the car, let's look at the best setup for each circuit.
