Lester,
Fomula S is a catch-all class, but I assume you're talking about a F1st 
with a 1600cc engine? Even they are different from a vee because of ball 
joint front axle beam, longer wheelbase, wider rear track, and different 
wheel offsets. Not everyone in vees runs the same settings either, and 
you have to find out what your car wants. On my car up front, I would 
use 5 deg. caster, 1-3/4 deg camber/wheel, and 1/8" total toe out w/ 
parallel steering, and in the rear, 1/32" toe in/wheel, zero roll steer 
or as close to that as possible, -6 deg total camber, and -1.5 deg total 
camber in droop. I would change front toe to adjust for a turn-in 
problem, and rear camber and droop to achieve balance.
