I have the same car in the same race.
I did everything to lighten the car - plus the chasis re-inforcement did a number of upgrades to get the BHP to around 230, got the aero kit, LSD and the adjustable suspension - plus hard sport tyres.
..Did an oil change and chassis re-build..
Settings:
Rear Downforce: 19
LSD: 15/35/30
Ride Height F/R: -12/-10
Camber F/R: 1.0/.5
Anti Roll Bars F/R: 3/3
Brake Balance F/R 6/5
With a level 8 driver, who essentially had a panic attack at the sight of another driver i was able to finish the first lap in third, and pull ahead into first place on lap 3 (constantly telling the driver to pace down so as not to loose control around turn 1 and turn 4.
he managed a pretty decisive victory though.
