I started with my qual setup and looked for RF camber and front bias settings that provide much grip and a good handling. Then I tried nearly the same setup (with less tape) for a long run, but it didn't work, the car got loose after 40 laps. Then I moved weight forward until it worked.
Imo, RF camber is not a good setting to influence the handling, I just try to find the value that provides optimal grip.

and also, is it true that, before the patch, best way would of been to keep the weight in the back as much as possible and just increase rf camber?
Before the patch, the whole RF camber thing was kinda buggy...
In order to archieve a somewhat "normal" temperature spread, you had to use 0° or even slightly positive values on the fast speedways, and that's what I did.
Moving weight back definitely made you faster on the banked speedways, but there were many other settings you could change in order to be able to run with max. rear weight.
Some people ran with +2° or sth. in qualifying, but I never did that because it didn't make me any faster.
