We would recommend implementing the common trait of F1 2020 setups, a lower front ride height. With Russia being relatively flat, you can run a low ride height setup. Too stiff and you will suffer with tyre wear, and with a potentially skittish car. The stiffer your anti-roll bars, the more responsive your car will be during a lap. Keep the anti-roll bars reasonably balanced, with an edge towards stiffness. It will give your car a little more assistance in looking after its tyres throughout a long race. You should look to run a slightly softer suspension setup than average. It will also help with responsiveness allowing you to throw the car at the Russian corners with confidence. This will ensure you have the minimum drag possible down the straights. Take most of the toe out of the car as well. You should find a good middle ground around -2.8 and -1.3, but can adjust a little either way. Russia isn’t quite kind enough on tyres to enable this drastic setup. If you take out all of it, yes your car will be more responsive, but you will struggle with tyre wear. You can take out some of the camber, but not all of it. Suspension Geometryĭue to the low tyre wear, we can look to run a more aggressive setup. This will keep your minimum speed up and ensure your car remains stable. And a higher of-throttle differential will keep the rear wheels turning together. You will be running through a lot of the corners at reasonably high speed. We would suggest increasing your off-throttle differential. If you aren’t getting any wheel spin at all, then you can look to raise it. Test your differential at around 70, then see if you are spinning your rear wheels too much. Instead, set the on-throttle differential to as high as you can manage. Tyre wear isn’t huge around this new track so you shouldn’t look to cater too heavily for this. This means we should look to run a reasonably balanced differential setup. The track at Russia has a combination of high and low speed corners through the lap. The front end aero ensures you have enough downforce to throw your car in to every corner. This will give you good straight line speed, allowing you to attack other drivers. Due to the fast nature of the track, you will want to run lower aerodynamics than usual. This style of aero setup is wierd, and not common, but works well around Sochi, Russia. Because of this we would recommend you setup with higher front wing than rear wing. This is more important at most places than having a sticky rear end. The way Russia’s corners are designed, you will need a car which has a great initial turn in. This will give us good corner entry, while ensuring your front end doesn’t wash out or understeer mid corner. So we will want our F1 2020 Russian setup to focus on producing a great front end. Maintaining high mid corner speed is the key to success around Russia. You can race wheel to wheel with other drivers throughout a race and there are plenty of places to overtake. And so on.ĭespite this stereotypical modern race track layout, Russia is very fun to drive with a lot of fast corners. Russia is a very modern F1 track, featuring all of the typical features of a modern F1 track.
