Notes
About as Tilke-dromey as it gets. With more 90 degree corners than you can poke a stick at this place only has 2 corners that put a Formula One car through its paces, turns 2 and 3. It's pretty much a turd with lights.
It's quite a low deg circuit, so the option tyre lasts quite well, which makes it a feasible race tyre. So the optimal strategy is either a 1 stop (option, prime) or a two stop (option, option, prime).
- It's a track that rewards late braking, so having the brake bias more towards the front is helpful for a good lap.
- Traction out of turns 9, 13 and 20 is crucial.
- I believe I've found a good compromise between downforce, and straight line speed and gearing with this setup.
This setup should allow for around 17-21 laps from a set of fresh options, and 25-31 laps from a set of fresh primes.
Without ABS the fronts totally lock up before even getting into 2nd gear. Theres a reason every quick setup has brake bias about 2 clicks rear lol.
You're obviously not braking properly then.
Real F1 cars run around 55-60% front bias. This is because when you brake heavily in a straight line (Abu Dhabi has 3 heavy braking zones), the weight of the car is transferred onto the front wheels, meaning more of the braking needs to be done from the front. So setting the brake bias to the front gives the best results (shortest braking distance).
Also, as mentioned in the large bolded font at the top, this is a race setup, not a qualifying or TT setup. It's not designed to be insanely quick over one lap. It's designed to give you lasting performance in a race of 100% distance.
People who set their bias to like 48F-52R won't get as good results.
The only track which requires anything near 50-50 bias is Monaco (51F-49R).
No but the fact that your locking up in second gear means that you're not braking properly. You're supposed to release the pressure the slower you go. Are you on a keyboard or gamepad?I know full well REAL F1 cars run front bias, however in these games that almost never works. All the other setups must be wrong.
Look at it this way, with 48-52, i can brake without any locking, 50-50 brake a bit later but have to release brakes a bit earlier or fronts lock, 58-42, fronts are locked about 50 yards earlier than normal so have to release brakes waayyy to early for any late braking. plz dont tell me how to brake a car, if i needed help with that i wouldnt find legend too easy on this game......
This setup is not good. The option will wear out after 4 laps and the car is undriveable. I tried a offline GP with Raikkonen and 50% of raceCar

Seems to work OK in races too, and is fine on all cars.
