You’ll want to crank those tyre pressures up as much as you possibly dare at the Belgian GP in F1 22, to reduce that rolling resistance and eke out just a little bit more straight-line speed.

So, take it nice and easy and adjust accordingly to keep your car stable.

The fronts locking up is probably your biggest worry in the dry, but it might flip around to being the rear tires when it comes to the wet weather. Keep that braking pressure at 100% for both the wet and the dry, but definitely play around with the brake bias a little bit in the wet. Any lack of initial responsiveness could be amended with another turn of the front wing, if that is what you need. Having a slightly softer anti-roll bar setup will further assist your drive in the prolonged corners. You can certainly afford to be more aggressive and firmer with your suspension settings at Spa, giving good stability in the longer corners. If your straight-line speed isn’t up to the job, you are going to be overtaken pretty easily at the Belgian GP. Get that ride height as low as possible to maximise your straight-line speed in Sectors 1 and 3: it is, after all, what Spa is all about. These are very long and sustained corners, are two of the most important on the circuit, and are two of the riskiest in wet conditions. You can certainly get away with smaller toe values, though, which will assist you in the longer corners that the track has, particularly Pouhon and Blanchimont. Should you lose that grip, you’ll probably end up connecting with the barriers. You do, of course, want as much grip as possible in the corners, given that some of Spa’s corners are rather long. It is tempting to go all the way to the left and right with the front and rear camber, but going too aggressive either way will just see you chew up the tyres – especially if you haven’t offset tyre wear in other areas of the car. This should help to keep the tyres in decent condition and allow for good traction in the longer corners. The track doesn’t have many slow-speed corners, with La Source and the Bus Stop Chicane being the main two. You can afford to open up the differential settings a little bit in the wet and the dry for Spa. As recently as 2015, we saw a blowout for Sebastian Vettel and his Ferrari just a couple of laps from the end. While the current Formula One tyres allow for one-stop races at most venues, including Spa, the Belgian Grand Prix is still one of the harsher tracks on tyres. Doing this allows you to push hard in the middle sector and not lose out in Sectors 1 and 3.

In F1 22, you can bring the rear wing to below the default six-rating, as well as the front wing, to create a balanced setup for the circuit. In the real Formula One, you will regularly see relatively skinny rear wings to deal with the higher speed demands.

Spa is mostly about power and straight-line speed, but then Sector 2 requires quite a bit of downforce. These are the recommended settings for the best F1 22 Spa setup for dry and wet laps.

It provides a very unique challenge, with Sector 1 and Sector 3 being all about high-speed, but Sector 2 being a tight and twisty affair, requiring plenty of downforce.Īs you would imagine, it’s not the easiest track to set up for in the game. The Spa circuit is one of the most fearsome on the Formula One calendar.
