Alright guys, so I’ve been diving deep into F1 24, and specifically, I wanted to crack the code for a killer setup in Las Vegas. This track is nuts, right? Super fast straights, some tricky corners… it’s a beast. Here’s what I did and how it went down.
First Steps: Getting a Feel
First things first, I hopped into Time Trial. No pressure, just me, the track, and a whole lot of experimentation. I started with one of the default setups, just to get a baseline. Let me tell you, the car felt like it was on ice skates. Way too loose, especially coming out of those slow corners.
Tweaking the Aero
My initial thought was, “Okay, I need more downforce.” So, I started bumping up the front and rear wing angles. I went pretty aggressive at first, thinking more grip, more better. But, man, I lost so much speed on those insane straights. It was like driving with a parachute attached.
I then reduced the wing angle. I needed a balance.
Suspension Shenanigans
- Then came the suspension. The default setup was way too soft. The car was rolling all over the place, making it super unpredictable in the chicanes.
- I stiffened up the front and rear suspension, and also played around with the anti-roll bars.
- Stiffer anti-roll bars helped to keep the car flatter through the corners, which gave me a lot more confidence.
Braking and Differentials
Braking is crucial in Vegas. You’re coming off those long straights at insane speeds, so you need to be able to stop the car reliably. I increased the brake pressure a bit and adjusted the brake bias slightly forward. This helped me to avoid locking up the front wheels as often.
The differential, that’s where it gets interesting, I found that I was better.
Tyre Talk
Finally got the perfect tyre pressure.
The Result?
After hours of tinkering, testing, crashing (yeah, there were a few of those), and refining, I finally landed on a setup that felt really good. I’m not gonna lie, it’s still a challenging track, but the car felt way more planted and predictable. I was able to push harder and be more consistent with my lap times.
Is it the perfect setup? Probably not. Everyone drives a little differently, and what works for me might not work for you. But hopefully, my experience gives you a good starting point for your own Las Vegas setup journey. Good luck, and keep those wheels turning!
