Get the Perfect Setup with Our F1 Manager 2022 Setup Guide

Your driver could be Ayrton Senna reborn but without the right setup they won't be going anywhere fast, welcome to our F1 Manager 2022 setup guide!

Just like in F1 22, you need to get a strong setup for every track you visit. However, there's no endless time trial mode for you to tweak things.

Fortunately, we have been experimenting and discovering the best ways for you to create your setups!

F1 Manager 2022 setup guide

As we mentioned, you are limited to the three practice sessions of the race weekend to create your setup.

There is also no meta for you to take advantage of like there is in F1 22. Instead, each setup needs to be bespoke and tailored to the preferences of the driver.

So how do you go about creating the ideal setup for your drivers?

The basics

With each setup in F1 Manager 2022 you are trying to balance five performance aspects of the car: Oversteer, braking stability, cornering, traction, and straights.

The ideal range for each aspect is represented by a blue bar. At the start of FP1 these bars are massive, but as your drivers put the laps in the range will narrow and narrow, letting you hone in on the ideal setup.

To shift the bias of the car you have five sliders: Front wing angle, rear wing angle, anti-roll distribution, tyre camber, and toe-out.

Each one influences a group of the five aspects, making setup creation a puzzle mini-game that you have to crack.
