I just cant say how long it took me to actually create the right setup for me, i ended up in taking other people setups but they werent fit for my driving style. After watching this video, it took me like 2 hours of testing in netherlands and I FINALLY DID IT, made myself almost 2 sec faster thanks to you m8. Thank you so much for this video.

[@futurefx4068]

Awesome video, you definitely deserve a lot more recognition.

Been looking at your set ups for about a week now, love them. I know how to set up a tune for drifting on forza horizon and motorsports.and what each option does to the car. but iv never really known what it does for racing, now i do. So thank you!

[@leejansen7006]

Excellent explanation. I largely understand the individual elements but always at a loss as to what to change first. You’ve laid that out very well. Thanks!

[@collykiiid115]

GOAT 🐐, brilliant explanations. Thank you

[@peat6773]

Thank you, your setups and explanation on how they work are fantastic my times and performance has improved on every track. Big thumbs up :)

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thankyou bro

Thankyou my man :)

[@PihsrowAllertse]

Major respect for doing this video! Really well explained.

[@ProBadGamer]

Wow proper detailed explanation! Good job!

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thankyou man

[@epicdeep]

Thank you. Clearly and confidently explained. I feel I can go tweak my setup with better understanding. One complaint, this video does not have nearly enough likes!

[@SimRacingSetups]

Haha. Thankyou my man, and I completely agree! Haha. Feel free to subscribe for more of this sort of content!

[@Y0uDaRealMVP]

These videos really help me out, I really appreciate your time and effort into these videos

[@SunriseNL]

So much value in 1 video! Liked and subscribed!

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thankyou my man. Glad it's helped out!

[@compicon915]

This was probably the most helpful setup video I have ever seen. Hopefully you won't have to make a separate on for f1 2021

[@part3124]

Excellent video Thank!!

Nice video this video is going to help me a lot.

Thanks dude!

[@jwallaceracing8221]

Awesome Video! I've just started a KZbin Channel and I'm really getting into this game, however I know nothing about it...3 pages of notes later I think I'm ready to dive deeper into the game! thanks a lot! great video!

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thanks man and good luck with your channel dude!

[@bazacop1720]

fantastic dude best ever explanation on setups i seen

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thankyou my dude. Means a lot that you guys like it.

[@patch1753]

This is mint, Nicely done mate this will help loads.

[@frederf3227]

It should be noted that rake does not require RH setting unequal. 5/5 is already raked from the factory. 4/6 is simply more raked. The scales for front and rear are relative to their respective min maxs.

[@jonasplett172]

So this is how you make such good setups, it all makes sense now haha

[@denniscvd]

Really hope you’ll make set up videos again.

Some more will be dropped very soon. Watch this space.

[@dipwindfalcao9921]

Any particular differences for the F1 2021? I do like your approach, your video is helping me tweak car adjustments, thank you

[@barcuta4121]

Thank you so much! Best of luck!!

[@jimmymonsalve9066]

Thank you, this was soo helpful to understand all the different elements of the set up. Love it. Only question I have, what Tyre temperature is best to look for while testing laps? I know I need to stay under 212F/100C. But, where In general do I want to try to keep them?

[@ufuqq2999]

Thank you very much for that explanation. Finally, someone explains which steps to do first to create a setup. Are you going to do a similar step by step guide for the F1 2021 game or can I use this one for 2021, too? Is there huge differences?

[@tantegreta]

Hi, very helpful video thank you!! :) Could you please also explain what "rolling" means and how it differs from leaning and rotating? thanks mate

[@SimRacingSetups]

It's where the car leans / rolls to one side as you turn in to a corner. Stiffer anti roll bars and a stiffer chassis help limit body roll.

[@aleksandarkirik6978]

And what about a wet race? In that case we need to make the car to be as stable and planted as possible, right?

[@andygeary3531]

What changes would you make to an optimal race setup to perform a qualifying lap? Great vid btw!

[@janbruggeman6092]

Great vid. I noticed you downshift really smooth and always at the same pace. Do you think it makes a difference if you downshift your way or downshift really fast like 5 gears in a split second. Does it affect the behaviour of the car or it doesnt matter?

[@SimRacingSetups]

If you downshift too fast your car can become unstable and you'll find yourself losing rear grip on the way in. It used to be on older games that downshifting faster helped slow the car down but not so much on 2020.

[@icecreaminc8013]

sorry to be the one to break it to you.. but all the way right camber is maximum camber... giving the LEAST amount of contact. Its confusing because the numbers say -3.5 is min and -2.5 is max... codies have stated you ignore the number and you read the word for camber settings.... that means the MAX end = -3.5 (as it is in the real world) and MIN end is -2.5. TLDR swap the numbers, so -2.5 is on the MIN end of the scale, and -3.5 is on the max end.

[@clambake28]

Thanks for putting these videos together. Even though I have a grasp on all these settings I always like to see how others do it as you always learn something, and I like to come to your setups when I get lost or to compare (or just straight lazy, haha), so thanks...good stuff. On a little unrelated note, I've been trying for several days now to try and diagnose a major sound issue on the Xbox. Codemasters say's it on my end but my tests say it's F12020 but anyways.... I'm just trying to find others with the Xbox version that maybe do or does not have the sound issue where the audio crackles and gets all distorted as AI cars get near. Looking to see maybe their settings on both console or in-game and what their setup is specifically for those not having the issue in order to find the variables. Thanks

[@SimRacingSetups]

Thanks for the kind words man. I haven’t had any sound issues on Xbox. What settings are you using?

[@clambake28]

@@SimRacingSetups Essentially Default. Broadcast mode on, dynamic range full. But changing those never sorted my issues. I use wireless headphones with Dolby Atmos selected in the xbox settings. Its so weird how some have this problem and others dont.

[@aspaff]

Thanks very much for this. In what cases would you increase toe?

[@YurtTheTurt]

Great video

[@cs8176]

Would you ever consider a two wheeled version of this process? Ride 4 and MotoGP players would sure appreciate it.

[@SimRacingSetups]

I do enjoy the MotoGP games so if there is demand for it I can certainly look to make some 2 wheeled vids :)

[@whatsnext5460]

Hey guys! Fantastic video. Was looking for this kind of thing recently and no one else has done it. Do you think you could do a cheat sheet for the fine tuning aspect? I.e you mention ARB to move them higher and higher until it feels twitchy, but in terms of what number they are to each other I have no idea. I could start at 3 apart and then maybe you have a cheat sheet which says : if the car is oversteering on exit or you can’t get the power down : do this.

[@hafizbaihaqi2574]

Hey man, how to avoid brake lock during race? Because i turn off the anti-lock brake assist but when i press brake the tyre lock easily.. btw I’m using dualshock controller

[@Ben-gb9qr]

To Step 3: This is so difficult for me to find out witch setting is the fastest bcs im often playing ACC and there you can Set Toe, camber... For Each tyre and not the axle. So i could (for example on Brazil) the Front right Tire a little bit more camber for the Fast lefthander.

[@hawksfan4800]

Are you gonna do f1 2021

[@mrj3217]

I feel like each season I get better and better. But my set ups change a bunch

[@itsmegurupad]

Hi, thank you so much for this explanation. How would you alter the setup for wet races? I know increased ride height and higher aero is must. Apart from that are there any other changes required? Also what if race is half wet-half dry

[@SimRacingSetups]

Hey man. I would recommend checking out my wet setup guide where I explain all the best changes to make :)

[@itsmegurupad]

@@SimRacingSetups hi just found the video. Thanks 👍

[@Amir_Dz-w5h]

thx bro

[@ZumbaPablo]

This is really a great video!!! Very helpful. Just one question: How do you think it is better to manage the sets of tires as they degrade while making changes to the set up? Because at one point, the grip isn't the same, and can affect how it's feel the driving.

[@SimRacingSetups]

Great question. You can either run your setup process across all three practice sessions to utilise all tyre sets, or get to a point where you’re happy with your setup and restart the practice session so you have fresh tyres to continue making adjustments.

[@ZumbaPablo]

@@SimRacingSetups Thanks!

[@daggerfall8885]

The only thing i noticed is the fact that my left front tire is shaking as hell when steering agresive to the right. Like Australië in the last Corner up to the straight.

[@adrianobertrand5513]

How do I load car setup in careers mode before the race

[@rayvandenbosch2408]

A great explanation of what each change feels like. The game does let you feel the difference in small changes. Just confirm increase or decrease off-throttle diff to assist low speed rotation?

[@whatsnext5460]

Ray van den Bosch should be increase. Locks the tyres more so they cant spin as freely and thus in a way “push” you around the corner

[@rayvandenbosch2408]

Working through Spain with your system and it is working. Methodical and you can see /feel the affect each change makes. Wish I knew this for F1 2018. Only just got 2020. Thanks for sharing the advice.

[@rayvandenbosch2408]

Well I adjusted pressures to get even heat but during race in Spain the front left wore very highly compared to right and left had lowest pressure. Is that a pressure imbalance or just the nature of the track?

[@whatsnext5460]

Ray van den Bosch will be nature of the track. Clockwise track so left tyre takes more of the weight. And the right handers are long and fast

[@formulagrid630]

My Wheel pressure is on the lowest, but stil i Have high temperatures. What could i do

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

Hey simracing setups finally my prayers have been answered for a video like this excellent guide really helpful now am in a league with f12020 tsrl tier 9 and so far done pretty decent came 7th 6th 8th and 4th in my china race but were having to do a re race because everyone disconnected from the lobbie 😞 but so far ive just gone into tts and nicked if you like peoples setup from there but i didnt know that tts was always 100% loaded like you said so thanks for pointing that out and am just wondering when you create a dry setup can you use that for wet? Because ive seen others like trl limitless if you watch him ive noticed hes used a dry set up before for a wet race ? Now i havent created any wet setups yet so would be helpful if you could show one for the wet too ? But gonna give this ago from now on because ive found so far my quali pace has been average lets say but been told i have good race pace

[@SimRacingSetups]

I wouldn’t recommend using a dry setup for wet races. I have a whole playlist of wet setups which should help

[@DanMufc-jt9le]

SimRacingSetups yeah i know you do and there very useful but am just wondering with me being new to league racing eventually i want to try this method so how can i get into a routine for that because i want to give it ago just not sure how to manage the time scale to prep before a raceweekend ?And should i stick to using trl limitless setups for dry and use your setups for the wet ?

[@dsdanielcruz]

Regards for all the great setups!!! Top work. As you say in almost all your videos, and in this one also, these setups are for long races. If I want to use the same setup, in a multiplayer race for example of 5 laps, in your opinion what should I change?

[@Ben-gb9qr]

Im not Sure if it hepls a lot but i would Set a little bit more toe out for a faster Turn-in.

[@SimRacingSetups]

As Ben said, you can ultimately go more aggressive on your suspension geometry. And also slightly higher tyre pressures, and even increase the on throttle diff as long as the car doesn’t get too tail happy 👍🏻

[@itsalfreeedo2174]

I have a question, what if in a 50% race it starts raining mid race so i need to put the inters on and on the end of the race it is dry again. What should i do setup wise when parc femee is on? 🤔

[@SimRacingSetups]

You can change the front wing during your pit stop and adjust your on throttle diff whenever. Add more wing when it rains

[@itsalfreeedo2174]

@@SimRacingSetups thanks will do!!!

[@Nicksta2006]

Nothing on the diff?

[@colebaker___]

I wonder how long this guy takes to make a setup

[@SimRacingSetups]

I spend quite a while on each track. Generally I run through a full race weekend including practice sessions to create a good baseline setup.

[@revirdkcalb]

13:41 I don't think this is true...The off-throttle, the lower you go, the better rotation through slow corners (where you are "off-throttle"), but you will have less traction, so higher chance of the rear stepping out during the corner and also when going back on-throttle. I thought you even said this in your first setup video about setups back when the game just came out. So, maybe a little mistake here? You can easily try this out at tracks with slow hairpins. If you out the off-throttle to 100% it will take more time and effort to get the car to go around the corner, whilst if you put it at 50% you get your car to rotate much faster but at a higher risk of losing the rear.

[@petertosh5654]

Huh!!! You have explained the max cambers the wrong way round. Max camber to the left?

[@SimRacingSetups]

Its Codemasters poor wording, with the min and max and negative values. Moving left adds more negative camber, or increases the negative camber. So some people say max camber is left, while others right.

[@Swixzy_44]

I copied completely everything and now I find I’m coming first in almost every race
