Corner #1
Right at the start of the lap, you have to get ready to brake as you approach the first corner. Apply the brakes as you pass by the marked spot in the image below before turning left. Try your best to stay on the red and white line to keep your left tire stable.
Avoid the middle of the road and stick close to the red and white line as you turn right after the previous curb.
Corner #2
After the previous corner, you will have a sharp turn ahead. Use the 50 meter marker as a landmark to indicate when you should start turning towards the upcoming chicane.
Try to keep your car as straight as possible once you enter the chicane, as it can be hard to see the white line in this downhill corner.
Corner #3
While keeping to the right side, get ready to brake and turn left as you pass by the LED board marked in the image below. Shift to 3rd gear as you make the turn.
Drive slightly over the curb with the white and red lines. Although this may not seem ideal, it will make it easier to hit the next apex and hopefully not hit the wall straight ahead as you proceed to the one after that.
Corner #4
The next chicane of the second sector can be pretty tricky to get through. Shift down the gears as you approach the 50 meter board and get ready to turn right.
Get your right tire over the orange part of the first curb. This will help keep your car straight as you cut through to the next curb. You’ll likely be going over the orange part of the other curb as well. This will give you a better exit.
Corner #5
The next turn is a hairpin corner, but regardless of whether you are too wide or are sticking close to the curb, the key thing you need to keep in mind is that this leads to the longest straight of the track. Because of this, just focus on getting a straight exit.
Corner #6
The final corner is another chicane and it leads to what is referred to as the Wall of Champions. Get ready to brake as you reach the 100 meter marker highlighted in the image below.
As you enter the chicane, follow the same logic from corner #4 and try to take advantage of the orange part of the curbs to keep your car straight. This should give you enough room to get another straight exit and not slam into the Wall of Champions.
And that concludes this guide for the relatively straightforward track in Canada, as well as a potential setup that you can try out for it. While you’re here, check out our Monaco track guide + setup for F1 24 as well for more tips on a trickier course!
