F1 25: setup by track type guide
Use different starting points for high-speed, technical and wet circuits.
Overview
EA Help separates setup philosophy by circuit demand. High-speed tracks reward lower downforce and stability, while tight tracks need more grip and responsiveness.
How it works
For high-speed circuits consider lower downforce, firmer suspension and more forward brake bias. For twisty circuits use more downforce and softer suspension. Wet conditions generally benefit from more downforce, softer suspension and extra stability.
Practical tips and limits
