Dont understand diff setup. I found monaco wet setup for 22, one is from racinggames and one is from simracing setups. One have diff 50 and one have diff 95 so which is right for wet?
As it's early in the game, I cannot say for certain, however, I can explain a few things.
In F1 2021, everyone would use between 90-100 on throttle differential as that was fastest for that meta. In F1 22 everyone would use between 55-60 on throttle differential (mostly). In F1 23, so far almost all time trial setups use 50-55 differential, so I would assume it would be similar to that regarding wet racing. On one hand, lowering the differential will help with rotation and reduce wheelspin in the rain, but on the other hand if you increase the differential, once you have your car in a straight line you will be able to get on the throttle and have the best possible exit. Put simply, lower differential should be easier, but higher differential should be faster, yet harder to manage.
Overall, I think it's worth experimenting going up and down by about 5% based off of the dry setup and see what works for you, as it depends if you are a driver that is aggressive or smooth on the throttle.
Hopefully this helps!
Thanks i always thought that for rain i need exactl opposite diff from dry bcs need much more traction from slow corners.And which i tried i feel much more grip from slow corners with higher diff :D
forget about meta for now. All setup settings do a specific thing. Meta comes when the players find exploits, that some settings are working particularly well within this very physics engine, but that doesn't change the baseline behind every setting of the setup.
That being said: Usually (when there's no 50% exploit) you want to try slightly higher locked on-throttle differential than in the dry. Around 5-15% depending on your throttle inputs and driving style.
In case you (or others reading the thread) don't know how this setting works, a little explaination:
Generally the on-throttle differential setting decides how independently the powered wheels are allowed to turn. A 100% locked on-throttle differential means when you are on throttle, both rear wheels will turn at the same rate. That gives you a higher amount of traction but if you get wheelspin both wheels will spin and you will have a hard time catching your car. If you set lower values that means your wheels are allowed to turn at different rates. That allows also that your wheels slip differently, meaning you're more likely to keep your car straight due to one tyre keeping the grip. But it also means you have less traction in total because you can't count on both tire grips working together.
In wet scenarios you want to gain some traction so mostly you'll find yourself increasing the diff lock. However, maybe in some cases you can't avoid Kerbs or have other reasons causing a lot of wheelspin not being able to catch. In those cases you may want to open the diff instead. That may not help lap times then, but it may help finishing a race
There's also one other effect on on-throttle diff: With higher locks hindering the wheels to turn independently, you're car will also more likely want to go straight, meaning you'll get understeer on throttle. So that's important for long high speed corners taken with throttle through a long time (Spain turn 3 for example), but Corners taken that way get more rare with rain 😉
Summary:
High on-throttle diff:
+ Traction
- high speed understeer
- snap oversteer
Low on-throttle diff:
- less Traction
+ high speed oversteer
+ Catchable car
