DEAR iRACING USER, Congratulations on your purchase of the FIA F4! From all of us at iRacing, we appreciate your support and your commitment to our product. We aim to deliver the ultimate sim racing experience, and we hope that you’ll find plenty of excitement with us behind the wheel of your new car!
To access the baseline setups, simply open the Garage, click iRacing number of laps. Setups, and select the appropriate setup for your track of choice.
FIA F4 | DASH PAGES DASH PAGES The dash display in this car is non-adjustable and features a single page to display critical vehicle information. DASH CONFIGURATION LEFT COLUMN CENTER COLUMN RIGHT COLUMN Oil P- Engine oil pressure (Bar or psi)

FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS This section is aimed toward more advanced users who want to dive deeper into the different aspects of the vehicle’s setup. Making adjustments to the following parameters is not required and can lead to significant changes in the way a vehicle handles.
Hot pressures should be analyzed once the tires have stabilized after a period of laps. As the number of laps per run will vary Tires fitted to the FIA F4 car can be changed based on weather depending upon track length a good starting point is approximately conditions.

FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS | TIRES & AERO AERO CALCULATOR The Aero Calculator is a tool provided to aid in understanding the shift in aerodynamic balance associated with adjustment of the rear wing setting and front and rear ride heights. It is important to note that the values for front and rear ride height displayed here DO NOT result in any mechanical changes to the car itself, however, changes to the rear wing angle here WILL be applied to the car.
FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS | CHASSIS CHASSIS FRONT DAMPER COMPRESSION STIFFNESS PUSHROD OFFSET The bump stiffness setting is a paired adjustment controlling both Used to adjust the front ride height by increasing or decreasing the length of the front pushrods. Lengthening the pushrod will increase the low and high speed compression damping characteristics of the damper.
Stiffer springs will result in a smaller variance in ride height between garage. Correct weight arrangement around the car is crucial for optimizing a car for a given track and conditions. For the FIA F4 high and low load cases and will produce superior aerodynamic performance through improved platform control;...

FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS | CHASSIS CAMBER CASTER Camber is the vertical angle of the wheel relative to the center of Caster is the vertical angle of the steering axis relative to the side the chassis. Negative camber is when the top of the wheel is closer view of the chassis.
FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS | CHASSIS LEFT/RIGHT REAR SPRING RATE CAMBER Similar to at the front axle, stiffer springs will result in a smaller As at the front of the car it is desirable to run significant amounts variance in ride height between high and low load cases and will of negative camber in order to increase the lateral grip capability;...
FIA F4 | ADVANCED SETUP OPTIONS | CHASSIS REAR DAMPER COMPRESSION STIFFNESS REAR RIDE HEIGHT The bump stiffness setting is a paired adjustment controlling both Distance from ground to a reference point on the rear of the chassis. the low and high speed compression damping characteristics of Increasing rear ride height will decrease rear downforce as well as the damper with identical ranges to those of the front dampers.
