Hungary Setup F1 22 Fastest Time Trial Guide 2022
F1 22 Hungary Setup: Race setup, qualifying setup, fastest time trial setup 2022
Welcome to our F1 22 Hungary Setup page! Hungary is one of the most challenging tracks on the F1 22 calendar, and Hungary setup is critical to success. The Hungaroring is a high-speed, high-downforce circuit that puts immense stress on both driver and car. As a result, Hungary setup must be carefully balanced in order to maximize performance. The key to a fast Hungary setup is to find the right balance between grip and aerodynamic downforce. If the car is too grip-heavy, it will understeer through the corners; if it’s too light on downforce, it will be unstable in the high-speed sections. Hungary also features several long straights, so engine power is also important. Ultimately, Hungary setup is all about finding the perfect balance for this unique track. With a bit of help from our guide, any driver can find a Hungary setup that works for them.

Hungary Race Setup
The lack of straights at the Hungaroring often sees it compared to a karting circuit – and it’s true, the resemblance is uncanny. With several series of corners to string together, teams opt for Monaco levels of downforce, with a well-sorted chassis tending to be rewarded over horsepower given the short straights on offer. It’s a challenge many of the drivers relish, however, with finding a good rhythm key to setting fast lap times.

Aerodynamics Setup
Front Wing Aero – 44
Rear Wing Aero – 45
With the new aero settings, we are recommending a 44-45 wing setup. Monaco levels of downforce are needed to succeed at this circuit, but we lowered both wings slightly for additional speed on the straight. If you are struggling, try pushing both values up to maximum.
Transmission Setup
Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 65%
Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 60%
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 in Hungary we will use a 65%/60% setup. 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 – -2.00°
Front Toe – 0.05°
Rear Camber – 0.20°
Geometry adjustments mainly impact grip and tire wear, however on F1 22, like F1 2021, most circuits suit the same setup! Stick with high front values, and low rear values in this section for best results at Hungary.
Suspension Setup
Front Suspension – 9
Rear Suspension – 1
Front Anti-Roll Bar – 9
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 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 a responsive Hungary setup, we are using a very firm front end, and a soft rear end.
Brakes Setup
Brake Pressure – 95%
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.
Hungary Tyres Setup
Front Right Tyre Pressure – 23.0 psi
Front Left Tyre Pressure – 23.0 psi
Rear Right Tyre Pressure – 21.2 psi
Rear Left Tyre Pressure – 21.2 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 increasing rear 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 23.5psi. For the Hungary setup, lower pressures are better on long runs.
