F1 25 Singapore Car Setup: Full Setup & Guide

Singapore has to be up there with tracks like Monaco and Hungary as one of the most technical circuits in F1 25. With 19 corners, most being slow to medium speed, finding time at this track comes down to excellent mechanical grip, and great traction.

Aero setup

If you were to scroll through the time trial leaderboard and download a setup, it’d most likely have wings in the 40s or set to the maximum 50. This approach is ideal for putting in the fastest lap times. However, it’ll also be incredibly tough to overtake and defend during a race against the blisteringly fast AI.

For that reason, I’m running the wings at 37 on both front and rear. This is very much a race car setup, designed for career mode racing, hence the lower than normal aero setup. If you do find that you’re struggling through the twisty bits, you can increase front and rear together up to 40, or beyond. However, doing this will have a negative effect when battling the AI down the straights.

Transmission setup

One really big challenge around Singapore is rear traction. Throughout a race, as the tyres wear down, you’ll find yourself sliding around. To help mitigate some of this sliding, I’ve set the on throttle differential to just 40%. This will give you better traction out of the slower corners, and this can go even lower if you’re really struggling.

Then, set the off throttle differential equally low at just 25%. This helps the car rotate on corner entry, and makes up for the setup using equal front and rear wings.

Suspension geometry setup

With the geometry, I have it all set to the left once again.

Suspension setup

For the suspension, the 41 and 1 approach works well, as it helps with traction under acceleration. Then, I’ve set the anti roll bars similar to our recent Baku car setup at 15 and 18. The front ARB is slightly higher than Baku to help stabilise the car a little more.

Finally, finish the suspension set up with a ride height of 21 and 50. This ride height is on the higher side as top speed isn’t as important at Singapore, and we’ve already factored it in with our aero. What it will do is prevent you getting beached on the high kerbs, which can happen, especially at turns 7 and 17 if you take the wrong line.

Brake setup

For the brake setup, go with 54% brake bias which is designed to take a little load off the front tyres compared to setting it to 55 or even 56%. I did experiment with lowering it to 53%, however, found the occasional instance of rear locking, meaning 54% is a safer choice for a race. Then go with 100% brake pressure.

Tyre setup

With the tyre pressures, the fronts do struggle to come up to temperature. For this reason, and for a little more grip at the front, I’ve lowered the pressures to 27psi. However, because of the insane rear temperatures at Singapore, I have the rear tyres set to maximum.

Conclusion

And that rounds out this Singapore car setup for F1 25. Remember this is designed solely for races against the AI in Grand Prix mode or career. The low downforce approach is not the fastest option if you’re trying to rank high on the time trial leaderboard. Instead, this setup will give you a stable and quick car for longer duration races.

Let me know your thoughts on this setup and how you find it during a race. Remember, this isn’t a time trial setup, and is designed specifically for races, and has been created using a racing wheel.
