Wet weather racing in Formula 1 2022 (F1 22) brings a whole new level of challenge and excitement to the virtual track. As rain showers drench the circuit, mastering the art of setting up your car for wet conditions becomes essential for navigating the slippery terrain and maintaining control.
Let’s find out best wet setups for each track in F1 22
Britain Wet Setup in F1 22
The Silverstone circuit is located in Britain is one of the greatest circuits ever built and has been loved by fans over the world for its thrilling races. With sharp bends and fast curves, it is one of the most challenging circuits that many drivers have failed to master since it is one of the fastest tracks in Formula 1.
Former world champion Lewis Hamilton had said that driving on Silverstone is similar to flying a fighter jet which should be enough to tell you about the level of challenge.
In order to master this legendary circuit in rainy conditions, you will need to use the following setup for your car:
Aerodynamics
- Front Wing Aero: 20
- Rear Wing Aero: 25
Transmission
- Differential Adjustment On Throttle: 50%
- Differential Adjustment Off Throttle: 50%
Suspension Geometry
- Front Camber: -2.60
- Rear Camber: -1.80
- Front Toe: 0.07
- Rear Toe: 0.20
Suspension
- Front Suspension: 3
- Rear Suspension: 2
- Front Anti Roll Bar:3
- Rear Anti Roll Bar: 2
- Front Ride Height: 8
- Rear Ride Height: 7
Brakes
- Brake Pressure: 100%
- Front Brake Bias: 50%
Tyres
- Front Right Tyre Pressure: 24.0 psi
- Front Left Tyre Pressure: 24.0 psi
- Rear Right Tyre Pressure: 22.5 psi
- Rear Left Tyre Pressure: 22.3 ps
China Wet Setup in F1 22
The Shanghai International Circuit that hosts the Chinese Grand Prix remains popular for its twisty turns and high-paced corners. It has been designed to look like the Chinese symbol of Shang which means upside down and has one of the longest straight sections of any circuit of 1.2 km.
It can be difficult to drive on this track, especially during wet conditions and the setup below will help you during those times:
Aerodynamics
- Front Wing Aero: 23
- Rear Wing Aero: 27
We have boosted the rear wing more to get extra stability during wet conditions
Transmission
- Differential Adjustment On Throttle: 50%
- Differential Adjustment Off Throttle: 50%
Having 50-50 on the Transmission will help us get fewer wheel spins while allowing extra rotations at slower speeds to deal with the understeer.
Suspension Geometry
- Front Camber: -2.50
- Rear Camber: -1.00
- Front Toe: 0.05
- Rear Toe: 0.20
Suspension
- Front Suspension: 2
- Rear Suspension: 1
- Front Anti Roll Bar: 3
- Rear Anti Roll Bar: 1
- Front Ride Height: 10
- Rear Ride Height: 10
The rear ride height has been increased to get enough clearance over the wet track surface unless you wish to stick the curbs on the tracks.
Brakes
- Brake Pressure: 95%
- Front Brake Bias: 50%
The brake pressure has been reduced to prevent them from locking up when using brakes heavily however you will still need a lot of brake pressure due to the stop at the end of the large straight section.
Tyres
- Front Right Tyre Pressure: 23.0 psi
- Front Left Tyre Pressure: 23.0 psi
- Rear Right Tyre Pressure: 21.8 psi
- Rear Left Tyre Pressure: 21.5 psi
Wet Weather Singapore Setup in F1
The Singapore circuit mostly consists of straight sections with a few sharp turns that are angled at 90 degrees. These turns are separated by three straight sections and the track has no elevation or variation in the terrain.
In order to get the best lap time on the track, it’s important for you to focus on those long straight sections to improve your split time with the driver behind you. During wet conditions, you will also need to maintain the grip of your tires and get the best cornering possible on those tight turns.
Below are the best setup settings for wet conditions on the Singapore circuit:
Aerodynamics
- Front Wing Aero: 50
- Rear Wing Aero: 50
The front and rear wing aerodynamics are maxed out since Singapore requires maximum downforce just like Monaco to be fast as possible.
Transmission
- Differential Adjustment On Throttle: 50%
- Differential Adjustment Off Throttle: 50%
Maxing out the transmission will allow you to accelerate at extremely slow speeds often which is key during wet conditions
Suspension Geometry
- Front Camber: -2.50
- Rear Camber: -1.00
- Front Toe: 0.06
- Rear Toe: 0.20
Suspension
- Front Suspension: 2
- Rear Suspension:2
- Front Anti-Roll Bar: 4
- Rear Anti-Roll Bar: 2
- Front Ride Height: 7
- Rear Ride Height: 7
Brakes
- Brake Pressure: 93%
- Front Brake Bias: 50%
The Brake Pressure will prevent your brakes from locking up, especially when you are using them in the faster-medium speed corners of the circuit.
Tyres
- Front Right Tyre Pressure: 24.5 psi
- Front Left Tyre Pressure: 24.8 psi
- Rear Right Tyre Pressure: 22.3 psi
- Rear Left Tyre Pressure: 22.5 psi
As the tyres get worn out faster during wet conditions, you will need to put light pressure on them to keep the temperatures down a bit.
