Set your top speed on the straights and overtake your opponents by executing the perfect turn. Knowing which car is the fastest in F1 23 can put you a step ahead of the other drivers on the track. But with little differences between the cars available to drive, your skill and precision in driving is at the forefront in F1 23. Simply relying on speed will not be enough to get first place. Not every Circuit has long straights like Las Vegas. Therefore, this is Vincent’s guide on what is the fastest car to use in F1 23.
What is the Fastest Car in F1 23?
Although if you take a look at the Base Speed for each F1 23 Team car available in the game, you will note that there is only a 2KPH difference between each brand and model. With Speeds of 205-207 across all F1 23 Teams. Of course, it makes sense that there would not be a great variety between the cars, otherwise you would find yourself choosing one car over the others every race you partake in. Therefore, in order to truly see which is the fastest, some adjustments must be made on the Car Setup. The Setup focussed on strengthening the speed of the car, whilst lowering its precision in braking and turning around corners. Because of this, the test was completed on the Las Vegas Circuit as this featured one of the longest straights in F1 23 to test the limits of the cars.

Keep in mind that this is not the recommended Car Setup for F1 23 but rather it is used to gain high speeds effectively during a race. It is not recommended for hitting any corners, regardless of its width on the track. Instead, you should opt for a more adaptable Setup which can hit both its Top Base Speed as well as being able to hit corners with ease.
This Setup determined that the fastest cars to use in F1 23 are the Red Bull RB19 and Alpine A523.
