Imola Setup F1 22 Fastest Race Time Trial Guide 2022

Imola Setup: Best race setup, Fastest qualifying setup, Time Trial, Coop Career setup for F1 22

Welcome to our F1 22 Imola Setup page!

In order to achieve the fastest Imola setup in F1 22, there are a few key things to bear in mind. Firstly, Imola is a fast and flowing circuit, so aerodynamic efficiency is critical. Secondly, Imola is quite bumpy, so a good suspension setup is crucial in order to maintain grip and stability through the corners. Finally, Imola is notoriously hard on brakes, so it’s important to have a good brake setup. With these things in mind, the following Imola setup should help you to achieve the fastest possible lap time.

Aerodynamics Setup

Front Wing Aero – 24

Rear Wing Aero – 28

For Imola and with the new aero settings, we are recommending 24-28 wing angle setup. This is low enough to keep the car fast down the straights, with just enough downforce to get us through the corners. Our initial impression is that the cars in F1 22 seem to perform better than 2021 with lower aero settings. If you are struggling with grip, try increasing both values, but be aware you may find it harder to overtake.

Transmission details for the F1 22 Imola Setup.

Transmission Setup

Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 65%

Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 59%

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 at Imola, we’ve went brave again and have had most success with a 65%/59% setup. This will aid rotation in lower speed corners and should help protect the tyres from excessive wear, however be cautious as one your tyres wear the car may be more likely to spin. If you don’t have masterful abilities without traction control, then try increasing the on throttle diff. This will improve straight-line stability and even acceleration on corner exits, however, will come with a slight cost on wear.

Suspension Geometry Setup

Front Camber – -2.50°

Rear Camber – -1.90°

Front Toe – 0.05°

Rear Camber – 0.20°

Suspension Geometry details for the F1 22 Imola Setup.

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 camber, and low everything else in this section for best results. We’ve knocked the rear camber up one notch from the lowest for Imola.

Suspension details for the F1 22 Imola Setup.

Suspension Setup

Front Suspension – 9

Rear Suspension – 2

Front Anti-Roll Bar – 9

Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 1

Front Ride Height – 2

Rear Ride Height – 5

Suspension adjustments impact responsiveness and stability through corners. This is probably the most important area of the Imola 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.

Brakes Setup

Brake Pressure – 100%

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 Imola brake setup. 

Brake details for the F1 22 Imola Setup.
Tyre details for the F1 22 Imola Setup.

Tyres Setup

Front Right Tyre Pressure – 23.7 psi

Front Left Tyre Pressure – 23.7 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 increasing rear pressures here could result in faster lap times. You will pay in wear, but if you are finding this not to be an issue then increase to around 22.7psi. For the Imola setup we are running a relatively high pressure setup, you might want to reduce the pressures by one or two notches if you struggle with excessive wear. 

Imola Hotlap Setup

This is the fastest F1 22 Imola Setup available, and will ensure you rise to the top of the time trial leaderboards. F1 2022 is still new, so check back here in the future for faster and faster setups. Generally this setup will be quick over one lap, so it’s ideal for time trial, or even qualifying, but be aware it is not designed to be run over a race distance, so don’t expect your tyres to last very long!

Imola Suspension Setup

Front Wing Aero – 24

Rear Wing Aero – 28

For the best time trial setup for Imola in F1 22, we are actually recommending the same aero as our standard race setup. Despite a few tweaks, this seems to always result in the fastest times. 24 at the front, 28 at the rear.  

Imola Transmission Setup

On Throttle Diff – 60%

Off Throttle Diff – 54%

A differential setup here similar to the race setup, but we have reduced the on throttle differential adjustment to 60%, and the off throttle to 54%. This makes the car easier to rotate, meaning you can accelerate faster out of corners once the car is straight. It will be slightly more challenging to handle, but much quicker round the Imola track. 

Imola Suspension Geometry Setup

Front Camber – -2.50°

Rear Camber – -1.00°

Front Toe – 0.05°

Rear Camber – 0.20°

Suspension adjustments impact responsiveness and stability through corners. F1 2022 is similar to F1 2021, and this section pf the setup has a similar impact. Imola is like most circuits in terms of geometry setup, right-right-left-left. 

Imola Suspension Setup

Front Suspension – 9

Rear Suspension – 2

Front Anti-Roll Bar – 9

Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 1

 Front Ride Height – 3

Rear Ride Height – 5

The Imola suspension setup is a bit more extreme than the race settings. A very firm front, with a lot of give at the rear. This allows the rear of the car to take high cornering loads, but makes the front very skittish. Our advice here is to avoid riding over kerbs, and accelerate as early as possible on the way out of corners.

Imola Brakes Setup

Brake Pressure – 100%

Front Brake Bias – 50%

Maximum brake pressure here, but you can run ABS and not lose any time. 

Imola Tyre Pressure Setup

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 at Imola. Very fast, but very hot! Don’t expect your tyres to last longer than a few laps with these settings. 

Australia Setup F1 22

F1 22 Australia Setup: Full race setup, qualifying setup, drivability setup

Welcome to our Australia setup page for F1 22!

Australia Setup: Australia is unique in having held a round of the FIA Formula One World Championship every year since 1985. No other country has achieved this distinction. The Australia Grand Prix is currently held at Albert Park, Melbourne and is Australia’s largest annual international sporting event. The race weekend attracts in excess of 300,000 spectators each year and generates an estimated $100 million for the Victorian economy. Setup for the event requires the construction of a temporary street circuit around the parkland lake precinct, utilising public roads that are closed for the duration of the event. This work includes installing catch fencing, grandstands and track lighting as well as other support infrastructure. Once erected, the circuit is 3.3km long with 16 corners (11 left-handers and 5 right-handers). Race cars reach speeds in excess of 300km/h along certain sections of the circuit, making it one of the fastest tracks on the F1 calendar. After exiting Albert Park, drivers head towards Melbourne’s CBD where they tackle a long right-hander before rejoining St Kilda Road for the journey back to Albert Park. The race distance is 58 laps, bringing the total race distance to 309.065km – making it one of the longest races on the F1 calendar.

Australia Race Setup

Often the season opener, Australia hosted the third event of the 2022 season. After winning the previous race in Saudi Arabia, a retirement from Max saw Charles relatively unchallenged for the win, continuing his emergent form this season. The track itself is a fan favourite, and definitely makes our top 3 in F1 22.

Australia has produced some great racing over the years, with several famous drivers triumphing on home soil including world champions Alan Jones (1980), Nelson Piquet (1987) and Jack Brabham (1959, 1960 and 1966). The Australian Grand Prix also holds a special place in Formula One history as it was here that Lewis Hamilton made his debut in 2007 – going on to become one of the greatest drivers in F1 history. In recent years, Australia has become known as a ‘stop-over’ race due to its location at the start of Europe’s motorsport season. As such, many teams use it as an opportunity to finalise their car designs and setups ahead of the first European race of the season in Monaco two weeks later. However, this does not detract from the racing action on track, with Australia often playing host to some exciting races. With another Australia confirmed for the 2023 season of F1 racing, all eyes will be on Australia come March as teams and drivers descend on Melbourne for what promises to be another action-packed season of Formula One racing!

Front Anti-Roll Bar – 6

Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 3

Front Ride Height – 2

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. For the Australia setup we’ve gone with a relatively soft front and very soft rear. 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.
