Also remember that you cannot go on lap time alone. A simple answer to this in most of those cases is that I adjusted my wheel settings and it (plus practice) made me slightly quicker, and I have not the patience to run all tracks again. Yes some Optional times are faster that the main ones. I've finished my testing of presets for each track.

Perhaps someone quicker and more consistent driver can provide a better list. On some tracks I could have done better times, such as Hockenheim, but on most it's close enough to what I would expect. So instead of trying to compile a list I will simply list all tracks and the two best presets, and I will leave it others to decide what to choose. After testing all tracks I still don't know what to choose on half of them.

Still trying track for more but not done testing (see comment on the track).įeel free to complement or correct my list!Īzerbaijan Increased Top Speed OR Balanced/Default In that case I opted for downforce as the main choice. On some tracks I've found that two settings gives very similar lap times.
F1 2018 SPA SETUP UPDATE
I have not yet thoroughly tested all tracks so may post a future update when I've done so.Īlso not sure when wet but at least increase downforce one step, but perhaps even two on some tracks (if possible of course)? I have to get back on that as well. The list is a compilation of information I manage to gather from different sources and my own testing. A list of what preset to choose on the different tracks. There are a few bumps on this circuit though, as well as some elevation changes, and we also need to ride the kerbs frequently to find the appropriate racing lines so a 4-4 ride height is as low as we dare go.This is another topic I had a very hard time finding any information on. Our ride height is lowered as much as possible so we can gain straight line speed. With three quick changes of direction we can't stand any increase in body roll as that will make the car less responsive in a chicane. We haven't touched the anti-roll bars because stiffening them will increase responsiveness but also increase tyre wear, something we have already pushed with our geometry, and softening them will only reduce responsiveness and mean we struggle to change direction. This improves rear stability relative to the front, and allows weight to shift back under acceleration, aiding in traction. We have left the rear suspension alone, making it softer than the front. We are stiffening the front suspension a little to improve responsiveness again and prevent frontward weight transfer under braking. Adding all this camber and toe does increase tyre wear, but it's needed to get around the circuit in good time. Adding toe out reduces straight line speed, so we have to add toe in to the rear tyres to counter this. This helps with responsiveness on turn in, and we are adding some toe out here so that we can really get the nose of the car into the corners. The front tyres have toe out which sets the front edge of the tyre away from the body of the car and the rear edge into the body. Toe is the horizontal alignment of the wheels. It does add a bit of tyre wear and hurts us on the straight, which is why we have only set them to -3.10 and -1.60, but you have to have more mechanical grip on this circuit. F1 cars have negative camber to provide more grip in the corners, and around Spain we want to add a little more camber so we can accelerate through those long corners and stick to the surface more. Camber is about the vertical alignment with the car. This part is all about how the tyres are mounted to the body of the car.
