I guess the suspension settings could be the same for a track and its reverse version, but maybe you'd need to adjust camber to level the tyre heating? although I suppose on a car like this, you cannot avoid overheating the front right. or you'd have to put so much positive camber the car would lose traction.
Front wheel drive will always be a mystery for me !

well i didnt change anything, and considering a few thing that inevitably made me slow, i dont think suspension matters alot here. things that can make you slow 1.) im a chase view driver, this was the first time ever i drove in cockpit on lfs 2.) my experience with fxo is small 3.) i dislike fwd afterall, the terrain on track is the same for both directions, stuff that id alter first would probably be cambers on wheel and gearing. I however did lower the pressures somewhat, but thats just because im usually gentle on tyres and they were too cold for me, so i lowered it to get more grip out of them. suspension held on pretty well so i dont think theres point in changing that part of set. The set i used was this one : www.setupgrid.net/index.php?action=download_setup&id=2586

Front wheel drive will always be a mystery for me ! go on full gas after you gained full grip and wheels are straight not before, never on full gas when turning wheels and when braking try to have your foot on gas a bit, makes it easier to drive for me atleast.

Thanks for sharing. I gave it a quick test and beat my PB on second lap. The car feels a lot more logical than the previous set I used. A little more sensitive to wheel spin at re-accelerating but a lot less understeery. Camber is symmetric so normal V/s Rev shouldn't affect it too much. I still have to discover the mystery of first and last corners tho

I still have to discover the mystery of first and last corners tho i can tell you only how i drive them, but amt guys seemed to be faster than i was. On the first corner i start braking when i come to the outside curb on straight, when in corner i try to hit all 3 curbs, first the inside, then outside and on exit the inside one. gotta be carefull not to let your rear slide there, because you lose speed doing that. on last corner i go in very tight then brake and downshift, as i do that my car slides to the outside of the corner, but then as i slow down it regains grip and i can floor it to go over the inside kerb and out of corner, i think i have like 6500 rpm in 3rd gear...

Yes, that is how I drive both corners as well. It works well on the last corner. I brake very little. Just a tap really and then I let my downshifting and the cornering force itself continue to slow me enough for the second downshift and acceleration. I find that I can get back almost fully on the gas after the first downshift, trailing off as I tighten my line and downshift again, and then can get back on the gas before the apex as my line through the final tightening radius of the turn is closer to straight. A strange turn.
On the first, though, even thou I follow the same line, I lose time to most others. I can't take it as fast as others without losing my line or upsetting the car too much. I can enter very fast, but I can't exit as fast as others. In the practice race, I could pull away from those following me on most other sections of the track, but would let them catch back up at the chicane.
