The fact you go faster on the front straight as opposed to the back straight suggest you have a fairly strong wind blowing against you on the back straight and with you on the front. Check the weather option in the realism menu. Wind brings up an interesting Gearing challange. If you use a tall gear to take advantage of the tailwind, you'll gain several MORE miles per hour on the front straight. However your back straight speed will really suffer. If you use a shorter gear to Muscle through the headwind on the backstraight, you'll risk over-revving on the front and blowing an engine. I guess in the face of a strong wind it might be better to use 5th gear on the back and sixth on the front. Good luck!
