Still pause in terms of real Grand Prix events so the devs continue to come up with exotic events in F1 Clash and this week we have Alex Albon and Thailand as cover theme (although I am not sure why those have to start off in Monza) and, 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
🇧🇷 Sao Paulo Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale
- Front Wing: The Sabre

🇺🇸 Austin 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
Make sure both your drivers have Tyre Management above 57 and you can do a good 1-stop strategy with them. If the Tire Management is below you need to do the 1-stop on hard tires but they are a lot slower so take a booster if you need to
🇨🇳 Shanghai Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Rumble
- Gearbox: The Dynamo
- Rear Wing: Aero Blade
- Front Wing: Curier
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Mach III

🇬🇧 Silverstone 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
British it is the weather with pure rain. So, since there is no way to use any other tires than the wet ones, a 1-stop here works best. Make sure that your drivers have Tyre Management of 65 or higher for that or use a booster with Tyre Mamagement. A 2-stop will marginalize your points in this race!
🇦🇺 Melbourne Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Supernova
- Gearbox: Fury
- Rear Wing: X-Hale

🇧🇪 Spa Setup
The ideal car setup for this race in the event is:
- Brakes: Rumble
- Gearbox: The Dynamo
- Rear Wing: Aero Blade
- Front Wing: Curier
- Suspension: Equinox
- Engine: Mach III
And for the drivers:
And this is the pit stop strategy and tires you should use
The only working and prooven strategy here is the 1-stop on medium tires. Don’t get funky, you want the points and not beat your opponent so simply use the 1-stop, try letting one driver push away from the other early on to have minimal stacking and finish the race in good points
🇮🇹 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
And for the last race use the exact same strategy for your pit stops that you used in the first race to finish well in the points.
To be honest, I am very disappointed with the information I have about this subscription. Why is that? According to your advice, it’s easier to lose a race than to win, for comparison, I drove the Grand Prix on your settings and on my own, yours had a complete bias either in speed, turns, or power supply, but I did my assembly in moderation, about 110 speeds, 130-150 turns, 80-90 power supply, 100 qualifications and it’s easier and more convenient to work with these tactics than to listen to your advice, as well as all the advice on the 7-9 series is not very useful, of course, the fact that you are already sharing at least some information is good, but it is far from ideal, it would also be necessary to indicate the characteristics of the racers, the car in the assembly, and so, The money I’ve spent is not very reasonable.
I always value feedback. Do you mind sharing your exact setup that you used (parts, drivers and levels)? This way I can give you a proper answer. I am asking since you already asked in the Series 9 guide what parts of higher series would work so this all sounds a little like you build yourself a Frankenstein account with parts from higher series you bought from the store, which is a common thing but with Level 1 sniped parts from higher series you get yourself into a lot of trouble, including matchmaking.
Well, I got your point and no, I didn’t use the parts from the higher series to complete the 9th series, everything was within the normal range. As for the Sao Paulo build, I used your version and then built my own, which performs better, specifically: The Descent 6 lvl, Beat 8, X-Hale 4, Vortex 5, Gyro 3, Mach 3 2lvl. With this build and levels, I used the following pilots: Epic Bortol 3 lvl, Rare Leclerc 4 lvl. Leclerc was in almost every race, as he is the most upgraded of my cars and doesn’t lose much in terms of performance.
You are naming exactly the correct setup we have here, for whatever reason the wrong setup got posted. We will double-check in the future to make sure things like that will not happen again. Thanks for bringing this to our attention and sorry for the trouble! We really appreciate you pointing this out.
We’ve dealt with São Paulo, and I’d like to point out that you have the wrong recommendation for Austin. You’re again recommending speed, but the track is designed for tires and turns.
Also, why don’t you make statistics on the final result of the car, such as speed, cornering, blocking, and qualifying? This would make it easier to navigate and assemble the car, especially since the Grand Prix always starts from the last place, so you can’t rely on the qualifying statistics.
we’re doing these guides only for 2 months now and are gladly taking this into consideration
And the fact that in São Paulo, the important criteria of the track are overtaking and cornering, doesn’t bother you?! And here’s a recommendation for speed
What parts of the setup are wrong in your opinion?
In São Paulo, the focus is on cornering, but you’re suggesting that the car should be built for speed.
