F1 24 How To Be Faster At Singapore (Track Guide)

F1 24 features the slightly revised Singapore track layout that we briefly saw in last year’s game. This layout tweak removed the two additional chicanes that saw players head under the bridge, instead opting for a straight section of track.

Due to the removal of some relatively slow corners, lap times are around 7 seconds faster than before the track layout change. Despite the lower corner count, Singapore is still a mighty test of car control, discipline and ability to find traction.

It’s a circuit that flows incredibly well despite its slower corners and is a good example of a street track done right. Yes, Las Vegas, I’m looking at you!

What is a good lap time around Singapore in F1 24?

A top-tier Alien-level lap time around Singapore is a high 1 minute 24 seconds, with the current time trial lap time being a 1:24.860. To aim for a lap time in the top 5% of sim racers, you should be looking to put in a 1:26.760. An average player can lap the Singapore circuit in around 1:29.000.

• Current time trial record: 1:24.860
• Top 5% lap time: 1:26.760
• Average lap time: 1:29.000

Singapore track guide

Turns 1, 2 & 3

Let’s jump right into our track guide for the Marina Bay circuit. The first few corners at Singapore are a tricky left, right left combination. There is plenty of run off incase things get a little hairy on the first lap, or if you get your braking wrong into turn 1.

To nail this corner sequence, start on the right of the circuit, positioned over the yellow painted track and pay attention to the bridge above. As you pass under this, hit the brakes hard and shift down to fifth gear.

Start to turn in left right before the kerb while trailing off the brake pedal. This is a corner to attack aggressively, cutting the inside kerb while carrying as much speed as possible. As you jump over the apex, accelerate hard through the right hand curve, watching for the car to become a little unsettled.

Ride across the orange sausage kerb as its low enough to not affect your car too much and will shorten your run to turn 3. Brake hard as you go over the orange kerb shifting down to third gear. You can lean on the inside kerb a little, but not too much as we want a smooth exit.

Start to accelerate as you come off the apex kerb and use the full width of the circuit while accelerating and drifting over to the left hand side before turn 5.

---

Turn 5

Braking for turn 5 starts right at the 50-metre mark. On the approach, try to position your car as far left as possible, applying only apply around 50% brake pressure, and then turn in towards the apex in a single smooth motion.

Attack the apex aggressively once again, using much of the inside kerb to shorten your route. You should be able to accelerate confidently early, as the exit is quite wide despite the wall being right at the edge of the circuit. Turn 7 is a good overtaking spot so try and maximise your corner exit speed as best as you can.

---

Turns 7, 8 & 9

Turn 7 is a medium-speed left-hander that requires pinpoint precision braking. Look for the 100 metre braking board, wait a split second and then hit the brakes at full pressure. Downshift to fourth gear and then start rotating in towards the apex.

Ride over the inside apex and watch the outer kerb as you can beach your car on it. Ride up and over the end of the kerb while accelerating and pulling left before the slower turn 8.

This right hander requires a short and sharp stab on the brake pedal right before the 50 metre board. Turn in to the apex right as you start to lift off the brake pedal in third gear.

You’ll want to clip the inside apex, but not be as aggressive as other corners. Focus on your throttle application as the rear of the car can really get away from you. Short shift to fourth gear if you feel the need to and are facing any wheel spin.

Then turn hard to the right of the circuit as turn 9 comes at you incredibly fast. The turn in and braking point both happen just after the 50 metre board, and you will want only the slightest bit of brake input before rolling your car through the apex.

Again, aim to miss the apex kerb, just clipping it before accelerating hard. It can feel like you’re going to clip the outer wall, but stay on the throttle trusting that the track is wide enough. The outside barrier does end, widening the track just as you need the extra width when accelerating.

Turns 10 – 13

Next up, we have the trickiest part of the Singapore circuit. Turn 10 is fairly standard. Keep your car to the right of the track, watching for the 50 metre board. Brake hard just before you reach the board, downshifting to fifth gear.

Throw your car in at high speed while continuing to decelerate. You’ll need to downshift to fourth on the entry, looking to ride aggressively over the inside apex kerb. Accelerate out of this corner while continuing to turn left. Your aim is to have your car on the far left of the track before the braking zone for turn 11.

Just as the outside barrier meets the edge of the track, brake and almost immediately turn right while staying in fourth gear. Again, cut the inside kerb to minimise the corner angle while accelerating once again through the corner being really careful of the left side barrier that can catch you out.

Hug the barrier as the track bends left, trying to take turn 12 at full speed. Then move left to the centre of the track before turning right ahead of the tricky turn 13. Aim to brake just as the wall juts out into the edge of the circuit, keeping your steering as straight as possible to avoid locking a wheel.

Keep your car as far right as you can while braking, before turning into the fairly traditional left hand hairpin. Traction can be hard to find on the exit, so modulate your throttle pressure and short shift up to fourth if needed.

That was a tricky section of track, but with it done, you’re through the hardest part of the Marina Bay circuit. Accelerate hard down the straight that follows before the final sector.

Turn 14

Turn 14 is a medium speed right hander that is tighter than you first think. Keep to the left and watch for the 100 metre-board to disappear off screen. Then brake at full pressure, downshifting to third gear.

Start trail braking and rotating in towards the apex just after the kerb starts, and position your car about 50% over the kerb. There is a lot of track past the white lines on the exit, so use all of these to open your steering as fast as possible. Then continue accelerating as the track bends left, which is the new layout of the circuit.

---

Turns 16 – 19

Turns 16 and 17 are a right, left chicane. Start braking at around 75 metres, while the Aramco sign is still on screen. Rotate in towards the apex just after the 50 metre mark, and you’ve guessed it. We’re going to attack the apex aggressively, shortening the corner radius.

Do the same through the left hander that follows, maximising your speed through the corner, and accelerating early. It’s very easy to get loose on the exit, so really watch the rear of your car on the outside barrier.

Then continue towards the final corners, where you don’t need to brake at all. Instead, turn in at 50 metres, clipping the first apex kerb, and then using the entire width of the track through the second phase of the corner, while completing a lap of Singapore.

Recommended F1 24 Singapore car setup

This circuit requires a fairly liberal use of track limits, with the fastest route often being across the inside apex kerbs. This means you need a car that isn’t too stiff and can handle this aggressive style of driving.

It’s no surprise that Singapore requires an extremely high downforce car setup, much like Monaco. The slow corners, and short straights mean the higher your aero is set, the more performance you can extract from each corner. I like to keep a few clicks of rear wing aero back to help a little with straight line speed.

Opt for a relatively low transmission setup to help eliminate low-speed wheel spin and generally keep your car easier to drive. With the suspension geometry, move your camber all the way left and add some rear toe, which really helps with stability and eliminating oversteer.

Setup the suspension with a stiff front end and really soft rear, and do the same with the anti-roll bars, prioritising a soft rear ARB. Go with a brake bias of 55%, but this can be pushed to 56% if you notice any instability at the rear under braking.

Then, due to the slower speed of the track, you can lower the tyre pressures, especially at the front of the car.

Using Track Titan to analyse your laps

Much like our other track guide videos, I’ve used Track Titan to analyse this lap, and they provided the throttle and brake telemetry that you’ve seen in this video.

You can analyse your laps in F1 24 using Track Titan, and it can be used on the console and PC versions of the game.
