Struggle no more with my "As perfect as it is going to be" McLaren setups for season 1 - May make tweaks once I start season 2 and have added some power upgrades but the base of the tuning should remain the same.

Most setups have been updated with what I used during my 3rd season but should still work well in season 1. Main difference in most was I added a little more front wing in season 3. But feel free to ask if you would like some advice on what to tweak :)

** I think I am done with my McLaren setups so shall be moving on to finish my Toro Rosso setups, it's surprising how different the setups have to be on certain tracks! They are in a collection of their own and will be updating the list over the next few days**

Also a massive thanks to all that have used my setups and gave such awesome feedback, it really is great to see they have been useful to so many people!
Drive it like you stole it! :)

McLaren Canada Season 1
Great traction, awesome turn in! Tuned with no assists. If car has lateral push while off throttle, decrease off throttle diff by a 3% and try again. VERY low tyre wear. Will not make up for lack of power from Honda lawnmower engine, so drive it like you s...

*THIS SETUP HAS BEEN UPDATED WITH MY SETTINGS FOR SEASON 3!* "You have to be alert on a street circuit" - Jolyon Palmer 2017 Light, grippy, pointy. Balanced downforce but handles like a Go-Kart in the bends, strip off some downforce if it feels too pointy,...
McLaren Spa Season 1
"He came in like a torpedo!" - Sebastian Vettel 2017 Nice low downforce setup, good traction out of corners and tuned for no assists. Good turn in on most corner but will need to lift going through Pouhon to avoid understeer, increase front and rear wing b...

"This is embarrassing!" - Fernando Alonso 2017 It's nothing but a compromise on this kind of track with this car! Nice turn in and traction out of corners, feels strong through 1st & 3rd sector. Will struggle on straights though with the McLaren but should...
McLaren Mexico Season 1
"Putting a driver up against a wall isn't lack of experience, it's lack of intelligence" - Sergio Perez 2017 This was tougher to get right than I thought it would be, then again it doesn't help matters when all of your engines are knackered at the end of t...

McLaren Abu Dhabi S1
Well balanced setup. Increase/decrease rear wing to taste, one click at a time and keep rear wing one click higher than front to keep balance. If back end a little loose raise rear tow by 1 click until you have it settled, I wouldn't raise it more than 2 t...

McLaren China Season 1
"Maybe it's because I'm black" - Lewis Hamilton Kept this one nice and simple, as over tuning it wasn't working or was making the car struggle in random places on the track. So I focused mainly on turn in and stability on the fast bends. I think I pulled i...
McLaren China S1 LD
A 2nd China setup with a lower ride height and lower downforce. The handling is close to my other tuning but this is a lot looser in general due to downforce being lower and feeling more bumps due to ride height, try out both and see which you prefer! ...
McLaren Bahrain Season 1
Hmmm, Bahrain! It should be BAH! PAIN! Always a difficult one to find the right balance between grip and turn in as there's so many different types of corners you need to account for whilst still keeping downforce low enough for the straights. WELL LOOK NO...
