Alright, so I’ve been messing around with F1 23 lately, and let me tell you, getting the setup right at Monza is a real pain in the neck. But I think I’ve finally cracked it, and I’m here to share my findings with you guys.
First off, I spent hours in Time Trial mode, just going around and around, trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t. Monza is all about top speed, right? But you also need to be able to brake hard and handle those chicanes. It’s a tough balance.
I started by playing with the Suspension. I tried all sorts of settings, but what I found worked best was cranking the Front Suspension all the way up to 41. That keeps the front end nice and planted, especially when you’re braking hard into those turns. For the Camber, I went with -3.2 in the front and -1.70 in the rear. It might look weird, but it does help with the grip. I also messed around with Toe Out, and I ended up with 0 in the front and 0.15 in the rear, which is not a lot but it does help with the tire life and a bit of stability.
Next, I tackled the Brakes. Now, Monza is known for those long straights, so you need to be able to slow down in a hurry. After much trial and error, I found that a high brake pressure was key to this. I don’t have the specific number now, but I was using 90-95% pressure on my brake pedal. It allows you to be aggressive, and I like to be aggressive on the tracks. Of course, you need to adjust that based on your own driving style, but it is a good starting point.
Then there’s Tyre Pressure. This one was tricky. Too high, and you’ll be sliding all over the place. Too low, and you’ll lose speed on the straights. I experimented a lot, and I finally settled on a setting that gave me a good balance between grip and top speed. I was using 24.5 psi in the front and 22.5 in the rear.
- Front Suspension: 41
- Front Camber: -3.2
- Rear Camber: -1.70
- Front Toe Out: 0
- Rear Toe In: 0.15
- Front tyre pressure: 24.5 psi
- Rear tyre pressure: 22.5 psi
Now, I’m not saying this setup is perfect. It depends on your car and your driving style, you know? But after all that testing, I was able to set some pretty decent lap times. I even managed to snag a few online race wins with it. It’s not easy, but it’s definitely doable.
So, if you’re struggling to find a good Monza setup in F1 23, give these settings a try. You might be surprised at how well they work. And remember, practice makes perfect. Keep tweaking and experimenting until you find what works best for you. Good luck, and see you on the track!
