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: The Sabre
- Suspension: Quantum
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Do not send in both drivers on only soft tires or stacking while pitting will push you back. One driver should do the 3 laps each on softs while the other one push early on and then switch to 4 laps on medium. With this strategy you can also adapt quickly in case you have a safety car
🇲🇨 Monaco Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: The Sabre
- Suspension: Quantum
- 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, espcially as it only requires Tyre Management of 58 or higher. FIrst driver push on mediums while the other cruises on hard tires and only overtakes pit stopping cars and then reverse to not stack while pitting for the best result
🇧🇷 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: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
Compared to lower classes, this is one of the more boring races since you will do the inverted 1-stop with medium and hard 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
🇺🇸 Las Vegas Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: Power Lift
- Front Wing: The Sabre
- Suspension: Quantum
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use

🇪🇸 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: Gyro
- Engine: Mach III
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
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
