That's kinda the idea I'm trying to understand about the car. I know what worked well on the tam, so I'm going to shoot for a similar F-R split, as, IMO, that's what deals with the balance. I'm not saying the numbers need to be the same, but I tend to use the split between F&R to help define the balance of the car.
A couple of things to remember about this car, firstly the CoG is lower, and secondly (certainly with the long car) the weight is more central. Both year point contribute to a car that doesn't use roll to generate grip. I'm not saying it does need to roll as much (the low CoG is a help, deffiently in traction roll conditions) but in low grip, roll helps to numb reaction, and generate grip, in my experience.
Obviously, there are a lot of other settings to change (setup is compromise after all!) but it gives an indication at least. And that's all it is really, a tool to help, doesn't replace testing stuff out
