Okay, so today I tried to figure out the best setup for Monza in F1 23. Let me tell you, it was quite a ride!
First off, I fired up the game and jumped straight into a time trial at Monza. The default setup? Not great. The car felt like it was all over the place, especially in those fast corners. I knew I had to roll up my sleeves and get to work.
Tinkering with Tyre Pressure
I started with the tyre pressure. Lowering the pressure helped a bit with grip, but it was still tricky to keep the car stable. I went back and forth a few times, trying different combinations. Eventually, I found a sweet spot that felt okay. Not perfect, but better than before.
Braking Adjustments
Next up, the brakes. Man, those chicanes are tough! I played around with the brake pressure and bias. Increasing the pressure helped me stop quicker, but it was easy to lock up. After some trial and error, I found a balance that let me brake late without turning my tyres into squares.
- Front Tyre Pressure: I ended up going a bit lower than the default.
- Rear Tyre Pressure: Also lowered these, but not as much as the front.
- Brake Pressure: Increased this a bit, but not too much.
- Brake Bias: Shifted it slightly towards the rear to help with turn-in.
Suspension and Aero
The suspension was another beast to tame. I tried softening it up to handle the curbs better. This helped a little, but the car felt a bit floaty. Stiffening it back up a bit improved stability, but it was still a bumpy ride. After a lot of adjustments, I found a setup that felt somewhat balanced.
Then there’s the aero. I wanted to reduce drag for those long straights, but I also needed downforce for the corners. It was a balancing act, for sure. I ended up with a lower downforce setting than the default, but not so low that I was sliding all over the place. It seemed like a good compromise.
Final Thoughts
After hours of tweaking, I managed to get a setup that felt pretty good. I could take those high-speed corners with more confidence, and the car felt more stable overall. It wasn’t easy, and I’m still not sure if it’s the “perfect” setup, but it definitely made a big difference.
I kept pushing, lap after lap, trying to shave off those extra tenths. It was a grind, but it was also super satisfying to see my lap times improve. I might not be a pro, but I felt like one, at least for a little while.
So, there you have it. My journey to find a decent setup for Monza in F1 23. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it. If you’re struggling with the same track, maybe give these adjustments a try. And hey, let me know how it goes! We’re all in this together, right?
