Rain Setup in F1 25

Rain changes everything. A setup that works in the dry can be disastrous in the rain.

Aerodynamics

Increase downforce significantly:

• Front wing: +5 to +8 from the dry setup.
• Rear wing: +5 to +8 from the dry setup.
• More downforce = more mechanical grip.

Suspension

Softening the suspension helps:

• Springs: -2 to -3 from the dry setup.
• Anti-roll bars: -2 to -3.
• Ride height: increase 1-2 points (to avoid aquaplaning).

Differential

• On-throttle: 50% (lower than in the dry).
• Off-throttle: 55%.
• Lower values avoid wheelspin.

Driving

1. Brake earlier and with less force.
2. Accelerate gradually on corner exits.
3. Avoid curbs – they are very slippery.
4. Use the dry line when possible (rubber on the asphalt).

Tires

• Intermediates: light rain, drying track.
• Full wets: heavy rain, lots of standing water.
• Switch as soon as the track dries – intermediates are much faster.
