Minimal On-Throttle Differential locking will work for wet weather in F1 23 – Image credit: EA Sportsĭepending on the forecast, tyre pressures are also important to keeping tyres alive in changeable conditions. This makes for more gradual loss of grip and reduces the risk of sudden kicks of oversteer. The on-throttle slider in particular is best dropped to the most open setting possible 50%. Elsewhere, additional clicks of wing angle will generate more downforce and grip helping the car cut through the rain.įinally, with acceleration being a challenge in the rain, differential settings are useful changes. ![]() When it comes to the suspension, a higher ride height and soft all-round spring setup is great for keeping the car above any standing water. Barke bias and pressure tweaks will help a lot with locking in the rain – Image credit: EA SportsĮlsewhere, there are a number of setup tweaks one should make in the case of a fully wet session. But, it is useful for those that struggle to modulate the brakes in the wet. We typically advise not to alter this setting for our dry F1 23 setups. This limits the amount of brake application one can reach despite a fully depressed pedal. There is a setting in the brakes tab of the setup menu dubbed brake pressure. Whilst controlling brake pressure is the best way to limit lock-ups in the rain, one can also make changes in the setup menu. So, pump the pedal to act as an ABS system to avoid going straight. As the speed comes off, lock-ups can become more and more likely. Feel how the tyres respond to more and more pressure and make sure to not overload them. The best course of action is feeding the brake pressure on early and gently. Whereas in the dry, one can slam the brakes and gradually reduce pressure as the downforce comes off, doing this in the wet will cause immediate lock-ups. This delicate approach is also important when hitting the brakes. There isn’t really a wet line in F1 23 – Image credit: EA Sports Furthermore, shifting up a gear earlier than the LED display indicates will also prove beneficial to keep torque at a minimum. This will help the tyres retain traction. Make sure to gradually apply throttle pressure instead of slamming the pedal. But it the wet, it is even more crucial to be in higher gears when on the power. Short-shifting to avoid breaking traction in the dry is already a prominent feature. Whilst racers can relatively easy run the dry line, even in monsoon conditions, the key to surviving is all in one’s inputs. However, there are plenty of input changes one must make to avoid spinning out. As a result, one doesn’t have to alter their lines through a lap quite as much as the real thing. However, F1 23 doesn’t truly simulate the wet line, nor do the game’s kerbs hold water as much as they would do in real life. In the real world, wet weather driving involves a lot of experimentation as you search for patches of grip in odd parts of the track. Racing in wet weather in F1 23 is a lot of fun – Image credit: EA Sports Now that you’re on the correct tyres for the conditions, it’s time to find a competitive edge on your rivals through your driving technique. In fact, most circuits will allow racers to complete the majority of races on one set in full-wet conditions. Unlike dry tyres, the wet weather tyres in F1 23 have very minimal wear. However, for the most part, this switch is best done on feel alone. The same is true for wet tyres overheating. In fact, once the green sidewall tyres start to lose temperature, it is most likely time to switch. Intermediate and Wet tyres are for use in the rain – Image credit: EA SportsĬhecking tyre temperatures will certainly help make the crossover from inters to wets. For wet tyres however, one must feel the lack of grip and take the plunge. As a result, you should switch between inters and dry tyres when DRS zones are or aren’t active. The DRS zones typically become unavailable when the game deems there to be too much water on-track for slick running. In general, knowing when to change between slicks and Intermediates is fairly simple. Use them at the wrong time and you will either lack grip or overheat the tyres. Intermediate tyres, however, are best suited to a damp track that is either getting wet or drying out. The blue and green sidewalls of wet and intermediate tyres are only to be used in wet weather conditions and it’s important to know when to use them in F1 23.Īs their names indicate, wet tyres are built for full-wet conditions with lots of rain falling on the track. The first thing anyone thinks of when it comes to Formula One cars running in wet weather is the tyre compounds. ![]()
