Excel; a spreadsheet software most of us use to help us remember individual details of each race.Like setups. Most computers have it pre installed along with Microsoft words. Once you have the setups for all 17 tracks it makes it easy to setup the following seasons. You can easily get out of hand with how much data you get to keep and track...

Is that not also an evolving thing? Like if the car/driver stats are different or even a total different driver. The wing/height will be different too?

From experience and observation the ideal setup for any circuit are the same every season regardless of temperature, tyre compound, fuel load or design balance. So once you have found the ideal settings make a note of them.
Exceptions to this are:
1) Changing the driver may result in a subtle change in ride height because this appears to be linked to how tall the driver is.
2) Rain will require increasing both ride height and wing level although surprisingly suspension stiffness is exactly the same as a dry race.
Increasing ride and wing by 12(rain) usually gets you withing 1 or 2 pts of adjustment to achieve perfect setup. It's right on for me in most cases. But like Kevin mentioned, there are a few factors that may required further adjustments. But it's worth recording these numbers to minimize your future setup time.
