I realize that reducing toe in the F1 cars can increase tire life but how should the camber be adjusted in accordance to the change in toe. Also, I was wondering if it is possible to win the Super Speedway race in an F090/s; i was able to get 2nd 5 seconds behind the 686. Im just curious as the other races seem to be not much of a problem for me.
 
Front Camber= 3.2 to 3.6
Rear Camber= 0(for the test course) to 1.2 However, I usually have it set to .8 or .7.
 
That sounds about right. The rear toe is dialled in to make the car rotate insanely under cornering load - so much that they are hard to hold straight. If you dial out some of that rear toe out, you need to reduce traction a bit to make sure the car still rotates. That means cutting the rear camber down to let the tire get up on its outside edge a little and slip more. Because you're reducing traction, it's not as terminally fast a setup as the stock settings are, but it does let you manage tire wear better.
