Alright, let’s talk about how I tackled the Bahrain track in F1 23. I’m no pro, but I love diving into the game and figuring out the best setups. So, the other day, I decided to really get into the nitty-gritty of the Bahrain circuit.
First off, I learned that Bahrain is all about low downforce. You gotta keep that in mind. I started with a time trial setup ’cause, why not? It seemed like a good place to start. But, of course, it needed some work, especially for tire wear. Bahrain is pretty tough on the tires, so you gotta be gentle.
I spent a good chunk of time just doing laps, trying to feel out the track. The most important thing I figured out was that you need to brake way earlier for Turn 11. It’s a tricky one, but if you start braking earlier and just coast to the entry of the DRS straight, you can shave off some precious milliseconds.
Now, for the strategy, I tried two things: Soft-Medium-Medium and Medium-Hard. Both worked okay, but I felt like the Medium-Hard gave me a bit more consistency. It’s all about finding what works for your driving style, you know?
Then came the fun part – messing with the car setup. For the suspension, I played around a lot. I ended up with a Front Camber of -3.2 and Rear Camber of -1.70. For the toe, I went with Front Toe Out at 0 and Rear Toe In at 0.15. It felt pretty good, gave me a nice balance between grip and speed.

- Front Camber: -3.2
- Rear Camber: -1.70
- Front Toe Out: 0
- Rear Toe In: 0.15
The suspension settings were a bit of a headache. There are so many options! I cranked the Front Suspension all the way up to 41. It seemed to keep the front end glued to the track, which is super important in Bahrain with all those turns.

I also watched some live sessions on F1 TV Pro. It’s pretty cool to see the pros in action and check out their onboard cameras. You can pick up a lot of little tips and tricks from watching them.
After hours of tweaking and testing, I finally felt like I had a decent setup. It wasn’t perfect, but it was definitely an improvement. I managed to beat my previous lap times, and the car felt a lot more stable and responsive. I know there are probably better setups out there, but hey, I’m happy with what I achieved. It’s all part of the fun, right? Experimenting, learning, and getting better bit by bit.
So, yeah, that’s my Bahrain experience in F1 23. It was a blast, and I learned a ton. I encourage you to give it a try yourself. Mess around with the settings, find what works for you, and most importantly, have fun with it!
