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: Flow 1K
- Gearbox: The Beast
- Rear Wing: The Valkyrie
- Front Wing: Flex XL
- Suspension: Quantum
- Engine: Behemoth
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
The 1-stop is the best strategy here. The 2-stop works in lower classes but looses too much time here. Easy without much hustle so don’t get super creative here and go straight for this strategy and if the safety car comes in, you can always replace the medium tires with soft tires and the hard tires with medium tires
🇲🇨 Monaco Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Boombox
- Gearbox: Metronome
- Rear Wing: The Valkyrie
- Front Wing: Flex XL
- Suspension: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Absolutely do the 1-stop here, If your driver has Tyre management above 70, you can use the mediums and soft tires for that, if not use the mediums for 3 laps and hards for 4 laps
🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Flow 1K
- Gearbox: The Beast
- Rear Wing: The Valkyrie
- Front Wing: The Sabre
- Suspension: Quantum
- Engine: Behemoth

🇧🇷 Sao Paulo Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Boombox
- Gearbox: Metronome
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Flex XL
- Suspension: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
This is one of the more boring races since you will do the inverted 1-stop with medium and soft tires so there is not much timing and pushing. But, and I can’t stress that enough, it is by far the most reliable strategy to use here. If your drivers can’t make the 87+ Tyre Management with booster, you need to go with medium and hard tires here!
🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Flow 1K
- Gearbox: The Beast
- Rear Wing: The Valkyrie
- Front Wing: The Sabre
- Suspension: Quantum

🇪🇸 Barcelona Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Boombox
- Gearbox: Metronome
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: Flex XL
- Suspension: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Once you have Tyre Management of 90 or higher on your drivers, you can actually send them in with a soft-only 2-stop and medium-only 1-stop strategy which is the best. If you can’t use boosters.
🇺🇸 Miami Setup
