Abu Dhabi Setup F1 22
Abu Dhabi Setup F1 22: Full race setup, Fastest qualifying setup, Best Time Trial setup
Welcome to our F1 22 Abu Dhabi Setup (dry) page!
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit is one of the most unique in Formula One. Located on Yas Island (near Ikea lol), and it’s known for being the season conclusion, and the infamous 2021 drama. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is held at night under floodlights. As a result, it’s important to have a car livery that can stand out under floodlit conditions.
The fastest car setup for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit begins with aero. The new track layout means that downforce is extremely important, so teams will want to get the balance just right. This will help the car to stick to the track and avoid sliding off in the corners. In addition, tire choice is critical. Pirelli typically uses their softest tyre compounds in Abu Dhabi, as they offer good grip in warm conditions. Teams will also want to pay attention to brake cooling, as the long straights can lead to overheating.
Following these tips should help you get your car setup just right for a fast lap around the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit.
For our setup, we have gone with a lower downforce-based setup on the car, with higher differential settings for good stability. Happy racing!

Abu Dhabi Time Trial Setup
Abu Dhabi Race Setup
Abu Dhabi is a unique track and as such, requires a unique car setup. The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit has recently removed some of its twists and turns, making it essential to have a car that can handle longer corners. As a result, it is important to choose the right tire compound and to have good tire management. With these considerations in mind, here is the fastest F1-22 car setup for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit:
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit is a circuit that consists of 16 turns. The circuit is 5.281 km long and has a lap record of 1:26.103, set by Max Verstappen in 2021.
The best way to set up your car for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit is to use a soft compound tire. This will help to improve grip while driving and will also prevent tires from overheating. In addition, it is important to have good tire management during the race. This means not pushing your tires too hard and making sure to pit for fresh tires when necessary. With these tips in mind, you should be able to set up your car for the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Circuit and drive your way to victory!

Abu Dhabi Aerodynamics Setup
Front Wing Aero – 18
Rear Wing Aero – 24
For Abu Dhabi, we are going with relatively low aero. The recent track layout changes mean that the track has a higher average speed than in previous years, and lower downforce is needed. considering this and the new aero settings, we recommend 18-24 wing angles for this part of the race setup.
Transmission Setup
Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 69%
Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 53%
Transmission is a critical area of the setup for traction, affecting acceleration, grip, rotation, tyre wear, and drivability. Increasing the On Throttle Differential will make the car more stable on acceleration, however, will increase tyre wear. For the Abu Dhabi setup, we need to use 69%/53%. This will aid rotation in the long corners while keeping the car stable on worn tyres later in the stint. Increasing rear diff will improve straight-line acceleration and stability on corner exits (again, at the end of the stint on worn tyres this may be a challenge), however, will come with a slight cost on wear. This is the part of the setup that we found gets adjusted the most from session to session. Lower is quicker here, so try to avoid increasing these values.
Suspension Geometry Setup
Front Camber – -2.50°
Rear Camber – -1.00°
Front Toe – 0.06°
Rear Camber – 0.20°
Geometry adjustments mainly impact grip and tire wear, however on F1 22, like its predecessor F1 2021, most circuits suit the same setup! Stick with high front values, and low rear values in this section for the best Abu Dhabi setup.
Suspension Setup
Front Suspension – 9
Rear Suspension – 1
Front Anti-Roll Bar – 6
Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 1
Front Ride Height – 3
Rear Ride Height – 4
Suspension adjustments impact responsiveness and stability through corners. This is probably the most personal area of the Abu Dhabi setup, so if you are struggling with rotation then the anti-roll bars are where you should start. Ride height plays a much more important role in F1 22 than previous F1 games, so the keep the rear high to avoid the diffuser bottoming out at high speed. Floor damage can ruin performance, so a high ride height here should help protect those delicate aerodynamic surfaces. Here we have gone for a firm front to increase front responsiveness, with a softer rear for grip. Ride height is low so be cautious on the kerbs!
Brakes Setup
Brake Pressure – 100%
Front Brake Bias – 52%
For players on controller, brake pressure setups can have minimal impact. If you use ABS, maintain 100% brake pressure. Otherwise, see above.
Abu Dhabi Tyres Setup
Front Right Tyre Pressure – 23.5 psi
Front Left Tyre Pressure – 23.5 psi
Rear Right Tyre Pressure – 22.2 psi
Rear Left Tyre Pressure – 22.2 psi
Tyre pressures can have a huge impact on wear and traction. Typically high rear pressures and lower front pressures are the way to go, however decreasing all pressures here will result in faster lap times. For Abu Dhabi’s longer sweeping corners, we have gone with middle pressures on all four corners. This will maximise the contact area of the tyre under load, giving the best mid corner grip possible.
Abu dhabi Time Trial Setup
This is the fastest dry Abu Dhabi Setup for F1 22! This setup is not recommended for anything longer than a 5-lap race, as you will experience some high rates of tyre wear through the stint. We use this to top the time trial leaderboards and show off to our mates 😀
We will update this through the year as we find faster and faster options, so be sure to bookmark this page and come back in the future!

Aero Setup
Front Wing Setting – 22
Rear Wing Setting – 20
For this area of the Abu Dhabi setup, 22-20 wing angles have proved quickest. This gives the car good balance, but you will really need to nail the most optimal line to make it round quickly.
Transmission Setup
Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 60%
Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 50%
For the Abu Dhabi setup transmission adjustments, 60%/50% is best. This means the car will rotate faster, balancing with the low area settings to allow you to move quickly through slower-speed corners. If you are spinning out, the first thing you should do is increase these settings.
Suspension Geometry Setup
Front Camber – -2.50°
Rear Camber – -1.00°
Front Toe – 0.05°
Rear Camber – 0.20°
Geometry adjustments mainly impact grip and tire wear, however on F1 22, like its predecessor F1 2021, most circuits suit the same setup! Stick with high front values, and low rear values in this section for the best Abu Dhabi setup. This section really can’t be improved in F1 22.
Suspension Setup
Front Suspension – 4
Rear Suspension – 3
Front Anti-Roll Bar – 3
Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 5
Front Ride Height – 4
Rear Ride Height – 4
For the absolute fastest Abu Dhabi setup, we have gone with an overall softer approach. It will definitely shred your tyres, so stick to 5-lap races or time trials with this.
Brakes Setup
Brake Pressure: 100%
Front Brake Balance: 50%
For the quickest Abu Dhabi setup, you’ll want to push both of these settings to the max. We also recommend using ABS, this rarely has any effect on lap times in F1 22.
Tyre Pressure
Front Right Tyre Pressure – 25.0psi
Front Left Tyre Pressure – 25.0psi
Rear Right Tyre Pressure – 23.0psi
Rear Left Tyre Pressure – 23.0psi
An extreme setup here for maximum speed. Very fast, but very hot! Don’t expect your tyres to last longer than a few laps with these settings.
France Setup F1 22 Fastest Time Trial Guide 2022
F1 2022 France Setup: Best 2022 race setup, qualifying setup, Fastest Setup for Time trial, or Career
Welcome to our F1 22 France Setup page. France is a key country in the F1 world championship. The fast and flowing nature of the Circuit Paul Ricard makes it one of the toughest tracks on the calendar. The France setup is all about getting the car to turn in and rotate through the chicanes. This can be achieved by running a lot of front wing and a softer rear suspension. This combination will help to get the car turning quickly, without sacrificing stability. It is also important to run a high-downforce setup in France, as this will help to keep the car glued to the track through the long corners. Ultimately, the France setup is all about finding a balance between speed and grip, and it is one of the most challenging setups to get right. This year, Charles Leclerc lost out to Max Verstappen, falling further behind in the championship. Read our full review of the 2022 French Grand Prix here.

Aerodynamics Setup
Front Wing Aero – 20
Rear Wing Aero – 20
With the new aero settings, we are recommending a balanced 20-20 wing setup. We found this kept the car fast down the straights, with just enough downforce to get us through the corners. You could experiment with lower settings and you may find a few tenths, but we found 20-20 was the best balance for wear in F1 22 at France.
Transmission Setup
Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 63%
Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 61%
Transmission is a critical area of the setup for traction, affecting acceleration, grip, rotation, tyre wear, and drivability. Increasing the On Throttle Differential will make the car more stable on acceleration, however, will increase tyre wear. Here for the France setup we will use 63%/61%. This will aid rotation in lower speed corners and should help protect the tyres from excessive wear. Increasing rear diff will improve straight-line acceleration and stability on corner exits, however, will come with a slight cost on wear.
Suspension Geometry Setup
Front Camber – -2.50°
Rear Camber – -1.00°
Front Toe – 0.05°
Rear Camber – 0.20°
Geometry adjustments mainly impact grip and tire wear, however on F1 22, like its predecessor, most circuits suit the same setup! Stick with high front values, and low rear values in this section for best results.
Suspension Setup
Front Suspension – 6
Rear Suspension – 1
Front Anti-Roll Bar – 7
Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 2
Front Ride Height – 4
Rear Ride Height – 6
Suspension adjustments impact responsiveness and stability through corners. This is probably the most important area of the setup, so if you are struggling with rotation then the anti-roll bars are where you should start. Ride height plays a much more important role this year, so the keep the rear high to avoid the diffuser bottoming out at high speed. Floor damage can ruin performance, so a higher than usual ride height here should help protect those delicate aerodynamic surfaces. For the France setup, a firmer front end and softer rear end is key.
Brakes Setup
Brake Pressure – 98%
Front Brake Bias – 50%
For players on controller, brake pressure adjustments can have minimal impact. If you use ABS, maintain 100% brake pressure. Otherwise, see above for the setup.
Tyres Setup
Front Right Tyre Pressure – 23.7 psi
Front Left Tyre Pressure – 23.7 psi
Rear Right Tyre Pressure – 22.5 psi
Rear Left Tyre Pressure – 22.5 psi
Tyre pressures can have a huge impact on wear and traction. Typically high rear pressures and lower front pressures are the way to go, however increasing front pressures here will result in faster lap times. You will pay in front wear, but if you are finding this not to be an issue then increase to around 24.5psi. For the France setup, we are using relatively high pressures to maximise speed down the Mistral Straight.
