Indeed, the Brake Pressure slider must always be set to 100% to avoid losing out on critical high-speed braking performance. Much like the Transmission sliders, we rarely touch the Brakes page in F1 23. For the Front Anti-Roll Bar, we run 8, and for the Rear ARB, we go for 4. As is the case for most setups in F1 23, we want soft ARBs at COTA. These control a car’s movement side to side and allow the tyre to grip into the ground when under lateral load. Suspension is key for getting round COTA at speed – Image credit: EA Sportsįinally for this page are the Anti-Roll Bars. This explains our 33-10 settings for the Front and Rear Suspension respectively. For the Suspension settings, one wants to induce rotation thanks to a stiff front and soft rear. The rest of this page however is all about how a tyre glides over the track surface when air isn’t pushing the car onto the ground. That being said, the Ride Height value does play a role in downforce generation which is why we run a nice and low 34-35 on the unrealistically smooth version of the Circuit of the Americas. Whilst the Suspension Geometry makes its effect felt at almost all areas of a layout, the Suspension screen is most catered to a car’s low-speed handling. Our Rear Toe-In value is 0.20° as this helps reduce rolling resistance on the straights and helps kick the rear end around. For the Front Toe-Out, we felt it best to go aggressive with 0.08° for nice reactivity through the flowing sequences. Toeing the line between an on-edge setup and a reactive car comes down to the toe angles. Toe has a major effect on a car’s stability through pretty much any change of direction. Camber and toe setup values for COTA in F1 23 – Image credit: EA Sports As for the Rear Camber, the many traction zones require less angle so our setup features -1.50°. If you prefer a balanced setup, try reducing the angle by a click or two. However, this does come at the compromise of grip in the shorter turns like the T1 hairpin. Indeed, depending on the style of corner, a car uses more or less camber and toe.įor the longer switchbacks that feature heavily at COTA, especially in the final sector, you will want good amounts of Front Camber. Perfecting one’s alignment for each circuit is crucial to maximising mechanical grip. The same is true for Off-Throttle Adjustment which we slam to 50% for all tracks. Furthermore, single-tyre fire rarely happens in F1 23, which is why we can run this so low. Indeed, setting the On-Throttle Differential Adjustment to 53% means snappy oversteer is a thing of the past. F1 23 rewards an open differential setup – Image credit: EA Sports The handling model offers very few downsides to running a wide open differential, which is why we do just that. In the latest iteration of Formula One game, the transmission setup is an easy element to get right. This makes for a reactive car that still powers down the straights with ease. Finding the right balance is important and we think we have! For the Front and Rear Wing Aero, we chose to run 33-32. Therefore, it’s important to not go all-in on the downforce unless you want to race like McLaren at Spa. Find the right aero balance for COTA in F1 23 – Image credit: EA Sports But to break that all up, the middle sector is essentially one long straight. The third sector also features a number of aero-dependant turns. The entire first sector is full of high-speed sweepers. Take a brief look at a track map of the Circuit of the Americas and you will soon figure out that downforce is important. So here is how to speed away from the competition thanks to our F1 23 COTA setup guide. But the key to winning races is not battling side by side race-long. The circuit makes for fantastic racing in any class of car, both in real life and sim. This Texan venue has held a place on the Formula One calendar since 2012 and it is fair to say that each visit is special. This is the basic, on-paper description of COTA, the Circuit of the Americas. No, we’re not describing every racer’s dream circuit that will never become reality. Here’s our advice for speed in Texas.įantastic switchbacks of Sector 3, sweeping esses of Sector 1 and long straights, perfect for racing. The Circuit of the Americas, or COTA, often produces some great racing – but stay clear of the pack with our F1 23 setup guide.
