I've learned more about setups from twenty years of sim racing than from thirty-five years of real racing (I left that to the mechanics, I just wanted to drive). Also, in a car with wings use the wing adjustments for aero balance/grip (high speed) and chassis adjustments for mechanical balance/grip (low speed). If the car has wings, you will end up redoing all this for any major wing adjustment: less wing = less downforce = softer springs (they're carrying less weight) = softer shocks = camber adjust. The sequence of adjustments can vary depending on how the car handles, but I usually tweak the bars for basic balance, then the shocks for response, then camber and tire pressure. Regardless of the car, the track, or the sim, there is no magic combination of parameters that will suddenly make you faster and resist the impulse to download other peoples' setups, especially hotlap setups (in the length of time it will take to find someone elses setups that 'fit' you, you can learn to create your own).
'Setting up the car is something you just ease into with experience.
