Trudd 3 Posted March 19, 2019 This is another topic I had a very hard time finding any information on. A list of what preset to choose on the different tracks. No fiddling around with custom setups. The list is a compilation of information I manage to gather from different sources and my own testing. I have not yet thoroughly tested all tracks so may post a future update when I've done so. Also not sure when wet but at least increase downforce one step, but perhaps even two on some tracks (if possible of course)? I have to get back on that as well. On some tracks I've found that two settings gives very similar lap times. In that case I opted for downforce as the main choice. Still trying track for more but not done testing (see comment on the track). Feel free to complement or correct my list!

Trudd 3 Posted March 30, 2019 Well count me done here. After testing all tracks I still don't know what to choose on half of them. 😛 So instead of trying to compile a list I will simply list all tracks and the two best presets, and I will leave it others to decide what to choose. On some tracks I could have done better times, such as Hockenheim, but on most it's close enough to what I would expect. Perhaps someone quicker and more consistent driver can provide a better list. I would certainly welcome one.

Trudd 3 Posted March 30, 2019 Forgot to mention that the lap times are all set using standard fuel, normal ers and no drs. Just for reference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sloppysmusic 1,650 Posted April 17, 2019 Thanks for doing this research and posting it. What assists did you use? Since I started using none I've found if I don't tweak each track setup to suit my driving I'm in for a hard race... With assists on the car is slowed down considerably if not pointed in the right direction after the apex as the TC will deny full acceleration for a crucial second. I'm loving the route I took now but sadly can't use the defaults any more. Another question do you or anyone know if anything other than wing is changed when choosing defaults? I could look myself but feeling lazy right now lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trudd 3 Posted April 17, 2019 I use the assists below: Braking Assist: Off Anti-Lock Brakes: On Traction Control: Medium Sorry I have no idea what changes between the presets. Never really looked into it since I haven't done any customized setups. By the way since I posted the list a would switch the following presets/tracks: Silverstone Circuit [Short] - Increased Top Speed [Main] and Balanced/Default [Optional] (set a faster time using increased top speed now) Monza - Maximum Top Speed [Main] and Increased Top Speed [Optional] (though I have set a faster time using increased top speed; I blame that I suck at this track) Also from what I read and hear my guess is that Hungaroring should have Maximum Downforce as [Main] but I have yet get a feel for it. Still prefer Increased Downforce. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trudd 3 Posted April 21, 2019 I've finished my testing of presets for each track. Yes some Optional times are faster that the main ones. A simple answer to this in most of those cases is that I adjusted my wheel settings and it (plus practice) made me slightly quicker, and I have not the patience to run all tracks again. Also remember that you cannot go on lap time alone. If you are one or two tenths faster on average I doesn't matter if you also makes too many mistakes on average with that preset.

Hi the only advice I can give if you’re using no assists I use corner line only when league racing but on some tracks I turn line off....all I could say is drop the diff down so you’re using 50-75 this could help with getting on the power quicker you will get faster with practice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mausse 0 Posted November 22, 2019 Noob question. In ranked online I have very short time to do manual settings, is there a way to load presents in ranked online matches?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah you have only about 20s in the garage before qualifying starts but this is easily enough time to navigate into 'Car Setup' and load a preset Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rango 58 Posted June 17 (edited) If you're after something a bit better than the standard setups for online, it's worth running through these and seeing which ones suit you. Some are wheel, some are controller. Kudos to the OP @Soupy1985, I have setups saved for every track (which take seconds to load) thanks to this!
