My lvl 21 B-Spec driver J. Hendrix was making me bang my head on the wall trying to win that Cote d'Azur race. The Chaparral 2J started in front of me every time and rocketed away, never to be caught again. No matter what I did to the suspension, J. Hendrix just couldn't catch him. The Chaparral would consistently hit the corners at 5mph faster and could slowly pull away on the straights, generally his lap times were 2 seconds ahead of mine. That Chaparral can hit a 1:40, but I found a setup that had B-Spec hitting 1:38 laps while he was orange! 
Ride height:
F -40, R -40
Springs:
F 13.6, R 11.8
Dampers:
F 7, R 7 extension
F8, R 8 compression
Anti-roll bars:
F 6, R 6
Camber:
F -3.0, R -2.0
Toe:
F 0.00, R -0.25
Brakes:
F 7, R 7
Here's the kicker, while the suspension helped there was another trick that helped win this race (easily maybe not, but it can get the job done). You will need the stage 3 turbo upgrade, some people say that the stage 2 is better for this track because of the added but from what I found it still won't keep up with the sucker car or that Toyota prototype. You need to get the stage 3 turbo and drop the gears to 142mph top speed. The idea was that you need to be able to maximize every ounce of that higher top end coming out of the corners. Even though the 2J is faster through the corners, with this setup the P4 can pull out of the corners harder. The car is going to bounce off the rev limiter on the straights, but dropping the gears shaved 3 seconds off of the best lap time J. Hendrix posted prior.
Don't get stuck behind the C2 Corvette, if you can't pass him before the chicane restart. Ignore the Toyota 7 and its starting position, it becomes a non-factor with this setup. Get out in front of the pack as fast as possible on the first half of the first lap, I have noticed there's about a 1 in 5 chance of the 2J dumping it on the chicane. If this happens you will win this race as long as you can keep it from passing you on the last lap, which shouldn't be hard you just need to monitor B-Spec and keep him going all blue (although if today is one of your lottery winning days the 2J will get stuck behind the Corvette never to be seen again). But there you have it, a Ferrari P4 setup that will allow B-Spec to consistently run faster lap times than the Chaparral 2J around Cote d'Azur!
Just as a side note, my lvl 21 B-Spec won this race with 2nd place 23.795 seconds behind using this setup. And he was all pissed off orange at the time.
