Setups
Here you can explore a complete collection of setups designed for every condition on track.Choose between Qualifying setups for maximum one-lap pace, Race setups for consistency and tyre management, or Wet setups to stay competitive in difficult conditions.
BrakePo+nt Setup → balanced downforce, offering a mix of speed and stability.
Safe Setup → highest downforce, best grip in corners, more stable but slower on straights.
Aggressive Setup → lowest downforce, fastest on straights, but harder to handle in corners.
If parc fermé is enabled, just skip qualifying and load the race setup straight away.

Grand Prix Strategy
The Grand Prix Strategy gives you everything you need to prepare for both qualifying and the race.
You’ll find details like outlap time, fuel load, starting tyre temperatures, and the best point to activate ERS in quali. For the race, you’ll get the expected laps at half distance, recommended fuel amount, pit stop time loss, and pit limiter speed. On the right, the tyre strategy shows the fastest option, an alternative plan, and a possible two-stop strategy – including exact pit windows to help you manage tyres and race pace.

Quali Usage:
For the fastest qualifying laps, it’s important to adapt your ERS mode to each section of the track. Smart energy management ensures you extract maximum performance across a single lap. Never use HOTLAP — only on long straights after pressing OVERTAKE, but it’s usually better to just stay on OVERTAKE longer.

Race Usage:
During the race, use OVERTAKE only in short bursts on the straights, keep MEDIUM active for most of the lap, and switch to NONE through corners to recover energy efficiently.
Circuit info
The Circuit Info section provides a quick overview of the track.
It includes the lap counts for race and sprint, total circuit length, number of DRS zones, and possible overtaking spots. You’ll also find the pole position side, reference AI lap time at 110%, and key ratings such as track grip, tyre wear, downforce level, and average speed.
Use this information to understand the character of the circuit and prepare your setups and strategy accordingly.

Tips and tricks

Setup tips:

Aerodynamics:
Run a higher aero setup with more load towards the rear wing to improve overall lap time and stability.
Transmission:
Lower off-throttle diff helps with rotation into corners, while higher on-throttle diff gives stronger traction on exits.
Suspension:
A stiffer setup with higher rake improves rotation through slower sections like Turn 10.
Brakes:
A slightly forward brake bias provides better stability in heavy braking zones.
Tyres:
Rear tyres are the limiting factor here – keep pressures under control by avoiding wheelspin.

Race tips:

Be smooth on throttle to avoid wheelspin out of slow corners. Short-shift on exits to maintain rear traction and stability.
Focus on a clean line through high-speed sweepers – lift slightly in race trim if needed.
The tricky braking zones require gentle pedal inputs to avoid front lockups.
Prioritise a strong exit onto the two long straights for maximum top speed.
Manage rear tyres carefully, as traction zones can quickly overheat them.
Use ERS deployment on the straights to gain time and create overtaking chances.
