Okay, so, I spent the whole weekend trying to nail down a decent setup for the Texas track in F1 23. It’s a tricky one, with all those fast corners and that long straight. Let me tell you, it wasn’t easy, but I think I’ve finally cracked it.
First off, I messed around with the Suspension. I cranked the Front Camber all the way to -3.2. Yeah, that’s pretty aggressive, but it really helps keep the front end planted in those high-speed turns. For the Rear Camber, I went with -1.70. It seemed like a good balance, you know? Not too crazy, but enough to keep the rear end stable.
Then there’s the Toe. I set the Front Toe Out to 0, which made the car feel more responsive on turn-in. And for the Rear Toe In, 0.15 was the sweet spot. It just felt right, especially when I was trying to put the power down coming out of those slower corners.
Now, the Suspension itself. I went full stiff on the Front Suspension – 41. I know, I know, it sounds nuts, but trust me. It really keeps the front end glued to the track, and that’s what you need in Texas. The rest, I left them at their default, it’s not very helpful to change them.
Brakes were another thing. I found that a brake bias of around 55% was pretty good. It gave me enough stopping power without locking up the fronts all the time. But, you know, this depends on how you drive, so you might want to play around with it. I saw some folks online saying they used anywhere between 53% and 58%, so there’s definitely some wiggle room there.
I also spent a good chunk of time fiddling with my racing wheel settings. The default force feedback was already pretty decent, but I tweaked it a bit to my liking. After a while, I got it to a point where the wheel felt really good in my hands, especially when I was fighting for grip through those long, sweeping corners.
I gotta say, it was a lot of trial and error. I probably spent more time in the setup menus than I did actually racing. But hey, that’s part of the fun, right? Trying different things, seeing what works, what doesn’t.
In the end, I managed to shave a good few tenths off my lap times, and the car felt way more planted and predictable. I even managed to set a few personal bests, which is always a good feeling.
So, yeah, that’s my Texas setup story. It was a bit of a grind, but totally worth it. If you’re struggling with this track in F1 23, give my settings a try. They might not be perfect for everyone, but they worked for me. And hey, even if they don’t, at least you’ll have some fun messing around with the settings, right?
And by the way, I found a guide somewhere online with some other setups. I tried a few of them, but they weren’t really my style. But maybe they’ll work for you. I don’t remember where it is, so you need to find it yourself.
