Racing Soft, I worked out very early on that they were the only tires that might get me even close to a 3:30 time in the R18.

There is a way to get "close" lap times, without full power and max downforce.. I will post the tune as soon as I get on tonight.
However, I cannot give you the driving skills required to maintain such times, as it is hard to do when compared to the R8.
Also, it works best on racing mediums, as RS slows the car down for me a little.

Thanks I'd appreciate it. I'm getting closer. Down to a 3:38:173, but the car is such a handful. Very hard to drive. By the way that's running 550hp, so hopefully your setup can push me down to a low 3:30 where I'll be satisfied.

Today I'm racing this car online for a 2 hours race at Silverstone.
The spec is 585 hp with stage 1 turbo, on stock I think I'd be in 47.xx range for my best lap. With the extra power it does more realistic 1:45-47 on most laps. We can use any tire but I doubt I'll use mediums for more than a few laps as it just wears the same as soft and has less grip. Same as GT5 tires.
I'm hoping I can eventually get the low speed snap oversteer out of it but I couldn't find anything that didn't compromise overall speed so I will just have to catch it every lap below 60 mph which is only a couple times per lap.

I'm trying very hard to keep the hp to no more than 540-550hp & set a reasonably realistic time. The 3:38 I set is yet to be matched by myself let alone beat. All I've been doing since is high 3:39's. It was just a freak lap, and what I really want to see is consistent 3:35's, that would be good enough for me given I'm not much of a driver.

Sorry but it won't happen.... The car is too much on a high DF= low speed and you need DF to set those consistent laps...

The real problem is the fact that you can rev to 7000 rpm when the car can only really hit 5000 or so

Yeah, I had the car setup with extremely tall gears and was shifting at ~5000 rpm and I was able to run decent times on Mediums
