Camber

Hi all, just getting into LFS and I'm trying to tune up my own XRG. I have all my suspension settings more less dialed in so I turned to camber but I have a conundrum.

I want to set up my camber so that the outside wheels are flat against the road while cornering to maximise my grip. However, if I do this because most of the lap is not spent cornering the inside of my tyres get red hot. This is something I've come across in other racing games too. So my questions are:
  1. Is it better to set camber so outside tyre temps are even, or better if I set up camber so outside tyre is flat on the ground?
  2. How would your answer differ if tyre wear isn't an issue? Would the imbalance of temperatures alone affect grip more than the flatness of the tyre improves grip?
Many thanks guys
Two newbie questions...

First of all, hi all!

I'm just a demo racer at the moment, but I have a couple of questions I need answering before I can improve further:

Is there a "ghost car" option in this game anywhere, and if there is, it is generally helpful in improving lap times?

Second question (ok third technically): I am using a downloaded setup and when observing the tyre temperatures whilst racing, I notice that the camber is setup so the outside of the tyre is generally undergoing more force, causing that section of the tyre to overheat well before the rest of the tyre. Is it a good idea to adjust the camber until the tyres heat up uniformly in a race, or are there other factors that influence the decision on how to set camber?

Big thanks for any help in advance
