While F1 is still on summer break until the end of the month, F1 Clash keeps the iconic events coming and this week we can remember the famous duel between James Hunt and Niki Lauda (I personally can you recommend the movie “Rush” from 2013 if you haven’t seen it, capturing THAT iconic F1 duel of the 1970s in a very good way). Anyway… As always, we have the full guide here for you to make sure you finish well in the points
By the way, don’t forget that we have just finished updating our guides for the series in 2025 – check out Series 3 here, Series 4 here, Series 5 here, Series 6 here, Series 7 here, Series 8 here, Series 9 here, Series 10 here, Series 11 here and Series 12 here.

Remember, you can change your car/driver setup for each race and you should – this means you will get the ideal setup for each single one to make sure you land the best prices at the end of the final round of the event.
Unlike regular series races where you don’t know the exact track to come, events will let you know exactly what track you’re on so you have to adapt your car/driver setup BEFORE every race for the best results!
🇮🇹 Monza Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
There is two approaches here. You can send in both drivers on medium tires and hope that there won’t be much stacking. Totally fine if you drivers qualify very differently. I, however, recommend that one driver starts on soft tires and pushes early and then uses the hard tires in the last stint. This prevents stacking and unless there is something really unfortunate happening this is a better startegy to have one driver well in the points for sure. Also, if your driver or booster will have high Tyre Mangement, you can also attempt the 2-stop on the driver with the medium tires on soft tires which will give a good extra boost.
🇲🇨 Monaco Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: The Descent
- Gearbox: Beat
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: The Arc
- Engine: Mach II
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Monaco is hard to overtake and you want to make a gap between your drivers so let one push early on on soft tires while the other one is on mediums and overtakes the pit stop lane.
🇧🇷 Sao Paulo Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: The Descent
- Gearbox: Beat
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: The Arc
- Engine: Mach II
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
You actually don’t want to risk a 333 strategy on both your driver since chances are high they will stack up in pit. So your driver with the better offensive stats should go with 3 times soft for 3 laps each and push early on and then manage to not run out of tires. The second driver also push like crazy early on and goes to the medium tires later. Best startegy here to consistently get into the points well.
🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: Curver 2-5
- Engine: Spark-E

🇪🇸 Barcelona Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: The Descent
- Gearbox: Beat
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Vortex
- Suspension: The Arc
- Engine: Mach II
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Solid 2-stop here with soft and medium tires. Pick your push spots well since you can’t push too much with these tires on this track but since hard tires are super slow here, this is the best strategy to go with
🇺🇸 Miami Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
