Okay, here we go. Let’s talk about my experience with setting up my car for Miami in F1 24.
So, I jumped into F1 24, and my first order of business was to tweak that car setup for the Miami Grand Prix. It is a wild track, and you gotta get it right if you want to avoid those walls. I spent a good chunk of time in Time Trial mode, just experimenting with different settings.
First up, I messed around with the wings. After a bunch of laps, I settled on a 12/14 setup. It felt like a good balance between straight-line speed and having enough downforce in those twisty sections. I tried a few other settings, but this one just clicked for me. Also, I noticed that the tire wear was pretty manageable with this setup, which is always a plus in Miami.
- Wings – 12/14
Next, I tackled the differential. This one was a bit trickier. I started with the recommended settings, but the car felt a bit loose on corner exits. I ended up going for a 10/40/50 setup. That really helped me get the power down more smoothly, especially coming out of those slower corners. It made a big difference in my lap times and the overall feel of the car. I tested a few different values on the on-throttle setting, but it felt like the car didn’t have much torque.
- Diff – 10/40/50
Then it was time to play with the suspension geometry. I’m not gonna lie, I don’t always mess with this too much, but I figured I’d give it a shot. I went for a -3.50/-2.20/0.00/0.13 setup (which I just call LLL/13 because it’s easier to remember). It seemed to give the car a bit more stability in the corners, especially through those fast, sweeping bends. Honestly, I didn’t spend a ton of time here, but these settings felt pretty good right off the bat.
- Camber – -3.50/-2.20/0.00/0.13 (LLL/13)
After that, I focused on the suspension itself. This is where I probably spent the most time tweaking. I tried all sorts of combinations, trying to find that sweet spot between responsiveness and stability. Finally, I landed on a 39-5-15-9-25-58 setup. The car felt really planted with these settings, and I could push it harder through the corners without feeling like I was going to lose it.

Finally, I got the brakes. Well, I didn’t really adjust it. I just kept the default. It is good enough for me. Also, I used my controller during the whole process.
Overall, it was a fun process of trial and error. I’m sure there are even better setups out there, but this one worked really well for me. With these settings, I was able to set some pretty competitive lap times and, more importantly, I felt confident pushing the car to its limits. I even managed to snag a few wins online, which was a nice bonus! I hope that my little guide will help you!
Oh, and one last thing – don’t be afraid to experiment! What works for me might not work for you. The best setup is the one that you’re most comfortable with. So get out there, turn some laps, and find what works best for you. Happy racing!
