We have waited a while for this track to finally be available, and it is fantastic to not only see the track in-game, but to see the incredible job that Codemasters have been able to do. So, that’s our guide to the Portimão Circuit setup in F1 2021. You can bring the pressures down a bit in the wet, though, just to preserve the life of those tyres a bit more. Adding tyre pressure can help with straight-line speed too, in both the wet and the dry thus, it’s a good idea to go for it and increase those pressures.
Due to the pandemic was just wondering if Codemasters have plans to add these tracks, which they. The track itself isn’t too punishing on tyres, and this means that you can take a few more liberties with the setup. With the addition of 3 new tracks to the calendar, will we see these tracks on the next instalment of the F1 Franchise The tracks in question are: - Portimao ( Portugal) - Imola (Italy) - Saudia Arabia. We have got some relatively high tyre pressures for Portimão. It helps to stave off the main issue, lock-ups, while giving you plenty of control when competing in the Portuguese Grand Prix. This 100-55 and 100-57 brake pressure and front brake bias setup is the best option for most tracks in F1 2021. You could probably get away with the same ride height settings in the wet too, but don’t be afraid to raise the levels if you so desire.
You will want around a 6-6 ride height setting so that the car doesn’t bottom out through some of the faster corners on the track, such as the fearsome Turn 1, just after the drop from the pit exit. Portimão is a much more modern circuit than some on F1 2021, with fewer bumps, and the kerbs are rather flat, so you can attack most of them without worrying if the car will spin around. SuspensionĪcross the whole board here, we have gone for some pretty neutral settings when it comes to suspension, anti-roll bar adjustments, and the front and rear ride height. It’s worth knocking the toe settings back a little more in the wet, though, to counteract the reduced stability that you are inevitably going to have as the rain falls. You can certainly get away with a bit more rear and front toe, and the stability of the car should still be pretty good, and strong enough that you won’t have to worry. What tracks are in F1 2021 There are 21 tracks that will appear in the game when it launches plenty of places to choose from Albert Park - Australia Bahrain International Circuit - Bahrain. You shouldn’t see a negative effect on your tyre wear either, and it will give you great grip in that final, sweeping right-hander that takes you back down the pit straight.įront stability is also key to get the car nicely rotated through the corners at the Portuguese GP, with this track being one where you need a compliant and responsive car. We have taken inspiration for this setup from our French Grand Prix setup, adding a touch more downforce and ride height to make this a medium-high downforce setup – ideally suited to the Portimão track.
