F1 23 Belgian settings
Spa-Francorchamps is known as one of the greatest circuits in motor racing. The circuit is set in the picturesque Ardennes Forest and is known for its unpredictable weather conditions. The circuit offers ample overtaking opportunities, making it one of the easiest overtaking circuits on the calendar. The long full-throttle section from La Source to Les Combes and the extended DRS area above Kemmel provide favorable conditions for overtaking.
Finding the right setup in Spa can be challenging. A higher wing angle is good for tackling high-speed corners in the mid-section, but you also need good straight-line speed to avoid being vulnerable in the first and third sections. Tire wear isn’t usually a major issue here, as long as you don’t push too hard in the corners. In most games, a one-stop strategy can work effectively.
aerodynamics:
Optimum aerodynamics at Spa involves reducing downforce, so it is recommended to trim the wings whenever possible. It is recommended that the front and rear wing angles be set to 13-10. This results in better performance in the first and third sectors, although lowering these values slightly increases top speed at the expense of stability in the middle sectors.
spread:
Transmission settings affect how the rear wheels rotate relative to each other when the throttle is opened and closed. F1 23 usually chooses 55% open throttle differential and 53% off throttle differential settings. This provides good spin during acceleration and deceleration. However, if the car feels like the throttle is too loose, increasing the throttle differential to 54% may provide more stability.
Suspension geometry:
The suspension geometry of the Spa-Francorchamps F1 23 remains unchanged from the previous generation. These settings have proven to be effective and require no adjustment.
pause:
The F1 23’s suspension setup at Spa involved a wider range of options than previous versions. For this circuit, 41-15 is recommended for the suspension and 8-6 for the anti-roll bars. This setup provides good turn-in performance in slow and medium-speed corners while maintaining stability during acceleration. If you’re experiencing rear slide on corner exit, consider adding a click or two to the rear suspension and rear anti-roll bars. Lowering the front suspension slightly helps reduce oversteer.
Body height:
It is recommended to set the ride height to 35-35, which is slightly higher than the lowest setting possible. This increases grip through corners without causing noticeable drag on the straights. Additionally, it improves performance when entering Turn 4 uphill. However, be careful as taking too many curbs at simulated damage levels can damage your car’s floorboards. If you have trouble staying within track limits, raising the ride height to around 36 or 37 can provide extra protection against damage at the end of a race.
brake:
The braking system has changed in F1 23, but the optimal braking settings remain similar. It is still recommended to use 100% brake pressure with a brake bias of 57% to achieve a balanced setup for the front and rear wheels at Spa. Given the increased likelihood of locking up, you may need to reduce your brake pressure or adjust your braking points if you’re not using ABS.
tire:
The Pirelli tire compound in the F1 23 remains largely unchanged, but pressure settings now offer a wider range. For Spa, it is recommended to use 23.0 PSI for the front tires and 21.0 PSI for the rear tires. This setup helps maintain tire condition throughout the race.
