F1 25: Baku City Circuit guide

Overview

Baku combines an extremely long straight with tight and unforgiving street sections. EA's official guide describes it as a circuit where low downforce is valuable without going quite as extreme as Monza.

How it works

Reducing wing can improve speed into major overtaking zones, but the castle and medium-speed sections still require precision and confidence on braking.

Practical tips and limits

Do not sacrifice so much rear stability that you cannot exit slow corners cleanly. The long straight rewards speed only if the lap survives the technical sectors.
