Codemasters have now released the last of the new tracks for the F1 22 game, featuring Saudi Arabia’s Jeddah Corniche Circuit. This track hosted the first-ever Saudi Arabia Grand Prix this season, which was pure chaos.
Now, you too can suffer the carnage by driving the insane, high-speed circuit in F1 22; if you want a good setup guide, you’ve come to the right place. A primary feature of this setup is the way that it forges stability, allowing you to push the boundaries of Jeddah.
To find out more about each F1 setup component, check out the complete F1 22 setups guide.

These are our suggestions for creating an optimal setup for the Jeddah GP.
Aerodynamics
As Jeddah is a much higher speed track, we’ve taken away some of the rear downforce: Sector 2 and Sector 3 are almost entirely constructed of straights. Still, you need good downforce for Sector 1, especially when it comes to getting the nose of the car rotated through the corners.
Transmission
We haven’t done anything drastic with the differential settings other than open up the off throttle a little more for the on throttle, and we have a relatively neutral setup for the on throttle. Most of your traction demands will be out of the first couple of corners and the final hairpin onto the pit straight, with those being the ones that are the most demanding of initial traction while also being the slowest. The rest of the track will see you already at a decent speed, so hopefully, enough grip will be coming from the tyres.
Suspension Geometry
You don’t want to overdo it on the camber settings at Jeddah, but the track isn’t as much of a tire killer as Silverstone or Spain. The Saudi Arabia GP is set on a relatively smooth, flat, and grippy track surface. So, you can probably afford to push the boundaries a little bit more in the virtual world.
Front stability is also key on this track; Jeddah requires a compliant and responsive car. You will know this as you go through Sector 1 and around the banked corner at the start of Sector 2. A loose or twitchy car will just want to spin you around, and an accident around here is going to be big.
Suspension
Jeddah offers a smooth surface, and the kerbs modelled in F1 22 are much more forgiving than those laid out on the track in real life. We’ve kept a relatively soft suspension and have set the anti roll and ride heights low.
Brakes
The preferred brake pressure is 100% and a 50% front brake bias setup for most racing in F1 22 to stave off lock-ups. Plus, there aren’t that many big braking zones in Saudi Arabia, with Turn 1 being the biggest.
Tyres
Whilst we have left tyre pressures high, this is purely to keep the tyres cool. They are more susceptible to overheating at a high-speed, quick-change-of-direction circuit like Jeddah. Tyre temperatures are almost more of a worry than the actual tyre life itself, but you can, of course, play around with this to eke some straight-line speed, which will aid you in overtaking.
So, this is our setup guide for the Jeddah Corniche Circuit. The track is insane. It’s fast, it’s flowing, and it’s downright dangerous, making for an exciting experience in F1 22.
