The Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez track in Mexico sits at a high elevation above sea level bringing its own challenge in the race. It is a fast track with sharp angled turns between sectors. The F1 23 Mexico setup will have to take all this into account to perform the best on this track.
Our recommended settings below will go over everything including tyre pressure, suspensions and transmission settings. Moreover, this setup will take into account adjustments for wet conditions and those will be noted where applicable.
Best F1 23 Mexico setup: Settings for dry and wet conditions
Mexico has a lot of straights to open up and go fast. It also features an extremely speedy last corner which is rare. However, it also has quite a few sharp angled turns rather than the speedy high radius turns.
This F1 23 Mexico setup guide will focus on high-speed and cornering capabilities. We will also consider the fact that the track is at a high elevation which can be taken advantage of in the aerodynamics department.
Aerodynamics
For the best Mexico setup, you need to take advantage of the track elevation when it comes to aerodynamics. Due to the thin air, higher downforce will have a lesser impact on affecting top speed and let you go fast. And all the while you will be utilizing the cornering advantage of a higher downforce.
- Front Wing Aero: 30
- Rear Wing Aero: 24
Transmission
The sharp-angled turns in Mexico are really going to slow you down with high braking. This is why we will go for an open differential, which will allow more power to go to your back wheels. This effectively makes your F1 car get at speed faster after coming out of turns.
- Differential Adjustment on-throttle: 55
- Differential Adjustment off-throttle: 50
Suspension Geometry
Mexico is a fairly stable track, but it still requires some tweaking and perfecting when it comes to suspension geometry. These settings are responsible to keep your car stable and deciding how your F1 car rotates during turns. While experimenting with this, keep in mind that little to no toe angle works best for the F1 23 Mexico setup.
- Front Camber: -2.60˚
- Rear Camber: -1.00˚
- Front Toe: 0.00˚
- Rear Toe: 0.10˚
Suspension
Going for a higher front suspension and front anti-roll bars for this setup will make turning into sharp corners easier. These settings can be tweaked around based on your racing style. Make sure your rear ride height is higher to create a good balance of weight in your F1 car.
Dry:
- Front Suspension: 22
- Rear Suspension: 9
- Front Anti-Roll Bar: 7
- Rear Anti-Roll Bar: 2
- Front Ride Height: 33
- Rear Ride Height: 36
For wet conditions, some adjustments are needed to be made.
Wet:
- Front Suspension: 25
- Rear Suspension: 8
- Front Anti-Roll Bar: 10
- Rear Anti-Roll Bar: 2
- Front Ride Height: 33
- Rear Ride Height: 37
Brakes
The brake pressure setting is always supposed to be 100%. Decrease this to about 95% only if you run without ABS or if you think the brake is too strong in wet conditions. For the F1 23 Mexico setup, it is advised to go for a front brake bias of around 55-58%.
- Brake Pressure: 100%
- Front Brake Bias: 56%
Tyres
Tyre pressure can make your car grippy or slidey. Increasing grip can come at the cost of increased tyre wear; so, make sure you don’t change these settings too much when experimenting with it. The values below have been shown to work for this track by giving the right amount of grip with minimal wear.
- Front Right Tyre Pressure: 22.7
- Front Left Tyre Pressure: 22.7
- Rear Right Tyre Pressure: 20.3
- Rear Left Tyre Pressure: 20.3
Mexico gives a different challenge with its unique elevated location. Aerodynamics affects your F1 car differently making it handle differently too.
However, with our best F1 23 Mexico setup, you won’t have to worry about all of that, because this setup is geared specifically for this track. You will be zooming past the baseball stadium which this track goes right through and reach the podium in no time.
