This includes the best car parts to use, the ideal drivers, the optimal pit stop strategy for all race tracks in this series and boosters that give you the biggest boost.
Updated for the 2026 Season! Our guides are all weekly updated with Feature Assets boosts and setups for the 2026 Season.
How We Do It
This guide is done by experience but also after many years playing we know how the game does favor and multiply numbers. Every overtake, defense, qualifying is basically crunched by the stats and some random number. Remember! Even the best players in F1 Clash have a win rate of 60%, so it comes down to win more than you lose to make progress. Don’t be frustrated if you lost, sometimes the game numbers didn’t run inyour favor but we can guaratnuee you if you follow our guide below, you will win more than you lose and progress.. Also please be aware that most content creators out there will look just at the primary stat (like speed or overtaking) needed for a track and COMPLETELY neglect the other stats that still are important so they often recommend sub-optiomal drivers and parts and this is where our algorithm beats their recommendation every single time.

Best Car Parts in Series 5 in F1 Clash
Here are the parts that work best in this series. Please mind, the big one is the ideal one and the smaller one next to it the alternative that you can use if you have it leveled more than 2 levels higher:
The ideal car setup for this series is:
- Front Wing: Scythe or Wind Guard
- Brakes: Flow 2K or Anchor
- Suspension: Equilibrium or Stability Unit
- Rear Wing: Air Channel or Vibe Lift
- Gearbox: Stratos or Flow Logic
- Engine: Velocity or Bedrock
- Battery: Charge Core or –
Very mixed setup here for Series 5 while you still will have to get a better hang of how the Overtake Mode is used best and Tyre Management is still supre important and always makes you anxiously watching those meters. Too many pit stops here and you’re out, there is no way to recover from that, but also running out of tires or never pushing will also leave you with very mixed results. Below is the best strategy to tackle SEries 5 this season.
Attention! Our recommendations are based on the assumption that the parts are all +- 2 Levels apart. If you have a part that is significantly higher/lowered leveled you might need to manually check the priority stats.
Best Drivers in Series 5 in F1 Clash
Now let’s have a look at the drivers which have an even bigger impact than the car parts. The car parts make the foundation of basically your lap time in F1 Clash, but the drivers do constantly interact with other drivers in terms of defending and attacking, which plays a significant role in your final position + through tyre managment also make sure that you don#t have to make more pit stops than necessary. Here are our rankings for the available drivers for this series:

Best Strategy in Series 5 for All Tracks
Let’s talk pit stop strategy which is the most active part you can take in the race itself. This is the foundation to make your drivers do their fastest possible lap time. The main things you want to prevent is getting stuck in traffic which slows down, having your drivers pit together so one car is literally waiting for the other to finish or you max out tyre times too much so you can’t push. Honestly, sounds complicated but each track in this series has an optimal pit stop strategy, no matter if it rains or not.

We hope this helps you and if you feel we should include anything else in our guides for F1 Clash, feel free to post a comment below and we will be happy to reply.
The setups don’t work – i run the exact same as recommended, my opponents use the same drivers but one level lower and but different car setups and place at least 5 places higher in qualification which kills the race e.g. in singapore. This needs an update asap
Are you using booster? If your opponent uses booster you have almost no chance without booster. Also, please mind that even at Series 5 you can’t win every single match, winning 70% of the races is already absolutely top player win rate. The setups are correct and updated every week. Our algorithm calculates the best parts and drivers based on the stats and boosts for that week and if you stick to it, use boosters and the strate3gy you will beat Series 5 in no time
