Race Setup
Jeddah is one of the recent additions to the F1 calendar, and boasts the highest average speed of any F1 street circuit on the calendar. Sticking to a good racing line is critical here to maintain corner speed and a good time!

Aerodynamics
Front Wing Aero – 20
Rear Wing Aero – 24
With the new aero settings, we are recommending 20-24 wing angles here. We found this kept the car fast down the straights, with just enough downforce to get us through the corners. If you are struggling with grip, try increasing the both the front and rear wing, but be aware you may find it harder to overtake.
Transmission
Differential Adjustment On Throttle – 70%
Differential Adjustment Off Throttle – 52%
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 Jeddah we will use 70%/52%. 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. To go faster, reduce the on-throttle differential, but as your tyres wear, you will be susceptible to the car spinning out. Take caution with this approach!
Suspension Geometry
Front Camber – -2.60°
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 its predecessor, most circuits suit the same settings! Stick with high front camber, and low everything else in this section for best results.
Suspension
Front Suspension – 3
Rear Suspension – 1
Front Anti-Roll Bar – 3
Rear Anti-Roll Bar – 1
Front Ride Height – 2
Rear Ride Height – 3
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.
Brakes
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.
Tyres
Front Right Tyre Pressure – 24.5 psi
Front Left Tyre Pressure – 24.5 psi
Rear Right Tyre Pressure – 22.7 psi
Rear Left Tyre Pressure – 22.7 psi
Tyre pressures can have a huge impact on wear and traction. With the high average speed of the Saudi Arabia street circuit, we are recommending high tyre pressures all round. Increasing pressures to the max is a viable option for the race here, but you will need to be slightly more cautious of wear.
Hotlap Setup
We are still working on the fastest setup for the hotlap! Unfortunately writers at F1setups.com do this for free, so full time jobs keep us away from developing faster and faster setups for the game as quickly as we would like… But rest assured you will find this updated in a few days, and then again and again each time one of us goes faster!
