F1 24 Hungary Setups

The Hungarian Grand Prix in F1 24 takes place at the Hungaroring, a tight and technical circuit that demands absolute precision from drivers. Due to its technical layout, many compare Hungaroring to Monaco, which requires an extremely high downforce car setup.

Although Hungary may not have walls as close to the edge of the circuit, you still need to be on the ball to put in a fast lap time around Hungary in F1 24. The corners come at you incredibly fast, as there aren’t any straight sections of track other than the start/finish straight, which isn’t overly long.

There is a good variety of corner styles around the Hungarian circuit, each testing your car in a different way. The incredibly slow corners at turns 1 and 6 test your car’s ability to turn in at low speed. These corners require high front downforce and good rotation, which your transmission setup can dictate.

Then, there are much faster corners at turns 3, 4 and 11. These turns aren’t too dissimilar to the style of corner found around a fast circuit such as the Red Bull Ring in Austria. They challenge your car’s balance and stability as well as its responsiveness.

The rest of the circuit comprises a variety of medium-speed corners, both short and long. Overall, Hungary is a circuit in F1 24 that really tests your cars ability to produce downforce at both slow and high speeds.

How should I set up my car for Hungary in F1 24?

A high-downforce car setup is a must in Hungary. I would even flirt with the idea of setting the front wing angle close to maximum, with the rear wing set a few clicks lower. Prioritising the front aerodynamics will help reduce understeer and allow your car to turn quickly.

The straight is the only part of the circuit preventing us from running a maxed-out aerodynamic setup. This section of the track is long enough that overtakes into turn 1 are possible. A car with its aerodynamics set too high can be vulnerable to being overtaken along the pit straight.

With so many corners, many of them slower turns, I recommend using a low on-throttle differential setup. This can help reduce wheel spin and increase traction when accelerating at slow speeds.

The suspension can be setup fairly soft as you will want to position the car over some of the inside kerbs when attacking the track. Turns 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 11 all have kerbs that you can attack to help maintain higher minimum speeds. You may want to keep the front of the suspension setup fairly stiff as this will aid with responsiveness.

Reducing tyre pressures is another way in which you can help reduce wheel spin and improve your overall traction from slower corners.

F1 24 Hungary race strategy

During a race in F1 24, Hungary can be pretty harsh on tyre wear. You will almost certainly want to use a two-stop race strategy, opting for the hard and medium tyres.

Soft tyres can be a good option for the race’s first stint to help with the race start. However, a more conservative strategy from there on out may be required to ensure your tyres last until the end of the race, especially if you completing a full race distance either online or offline.
