Great time there.
I've hit my limit at 1.02.745. Can't do any better than that no matter what I try.
Edit: 1.02.328 by reducing downforce to 15

 

[oooMaXimumooo]

Alright, well hopefully it can help somewhat. Just remember, I drive a very loose and throttle sensitive car, so it may take some getting used to. Good luck.

I tried your setup and I was not faster with it. I even wanted it more loose and increased negative toe even more. I found I left too much on the last corner. I am now trying low wing and even no wing. Have a good one :-)

Well after 30 more laps I improved my time so I'm around 1:05 and definitely can go for 1:04. Actually I managed 1:05.5xx and then realized that I was with 90% power because I used the tesla for some 450pp online races.
Anyway ...
For this car, going up the brake numbers will definitely improve your times. At least for me.
Adding wing at the back will improve counter steering but actually the back of the car becomes less responsive and you loose in some corners. So I'm not sure if adding rear wing will improve the lap times. My humble observations.
My biggest problem is rear traction. If I can make the car more planted trough the suspension rather than downforce I think I can be a bit quicker. Any suggestions because I don't understand tuning. ?

Try with
dampers front 8 rear 8
anti-roll bars front 6 rear 6

Yea, I am still experimenting with the rear wing myself. As for the last corner, you have to take it almost perfectly in order to gain time. Hug the inside until between 1/2 and 3/4 through it before you start swinging to the outside. You have to start as wide as you can though coming off of the straight. I brake slightly on the straight, and then gradually accelerate through the turn. It takes a great deal of throttle control to get it just right.

Just improved my best to 1:02.284.
Got a late start on this challenge. Still experimenting with different settings. Even tried SH tires on front and CS on rear. Not sure if the camber helped or not. Next is to try all the same but no camber.

Managed a 1:04.968 with everything off.

 

[lisanorm]

think i,m done with this one 1:01.795 will have to do

 

[Teitzy]

Thanks to lisanorm & g2010ag for the tunes. Managed 101.9xx with both but very sloppy laps. Still another 0.3-0.4 sec to find if I get time.

 

[shaunm80]

A bit like the Clio tune I created, This car is as close to gold as I can get it with the tune at TCS 1 and ABS 1 only. In other peoples hands, it probably could get gold fairly easily. I had to use SRF to get the gold time (although I was only 0.5 ish seconds away before using SRF.

the link for the tune is here.

Thanks for sharing. Changed the BB to the back a bit for easier turn in and improved one tenth to 1:02.02.

 

[g2010ag]

Evened out the ride height a little and increased rear brake to get another .1 improvement, 1:01.856. Not sure about the .1 rear camber.

I haven't had a chance to try the Tesla TT at all yet, but after reading doodlemonopoly's awesome advice (re: using CS tyres for their superior water displacement abilities rather than the softer SH tyre); i suspect it maybe worth upgrading the rim size(if you haven't already).
The higher diameter should further increase water displacement as a larger rolling diameter should increase the "footprint" of the vehicle and displace yet more water again, providing more grip all- round.
With the same diff gears as you presently use, it may also retard wheelspin on the exit of the slow, hairpin turns.

 

[sidplayos2]

Small improvement to 1:01.577 , still using variation of lisanorm's tune.

RH 80/80
SPR 7.50/8.00
Comp 8/10
Ext 8/10
ARB 4/6
Cam 0.5/0.00
Toe -0.07/-0.15

BB 8/8

I'm not sure whether it was due to the tune changes or just my stubborn persistence

Snip.....

It looks to me like the inch up rims get a lower profile tire. So the overall diameter is the same.

I think you are right, g2010ag..I just turned my console off, but from memory,the Top speed didn't change by simply changing to the taller rim.
However, there still maybe an advantage in the wheel upgrade when teamed with CS tyres...What about the tyre width of of the taller rim compared to standard rim?
Also, a lower profile tyre measuring the same overall diameter as the standard tyre could still be advantageous due to the rainy, slippery conditions. The stiffer sidewall in the low profile tyre may allow slightly softer spring & damper settings, thus improving weight transfer under brakes and under acceleration off the slow turns without trading-off too much in the sweeping corners.
Sorry bout the long-winded post, hope you guys catch my drift. Its just a theory, but it can work in a "real- world" situation in intense rain, especially when u have a fair chunk of ballast to play with.

I agree. I tried the inch up rims using the same suspension settings and they seemed faster through the first sector.

More stubborn persistence here also. Improved a little(1:01.780). Switched to the 1 inch up rims and new experimental settings of:

101.499 Still another 2/10 to find with the current tune.

 

[super_gt]

1:04.652 no aids,no abs

 

[Teitzy]

My setup. Pretty similar to others already posted. Struggling to break the 101.5xx mark at the moment so some tweaks are in order I think The last sweeper really makes or breaks the lap. If you can power slide through it without braking you can make up 2-3 tenths no problems.

ABS 1, TCS 0, Active steering (strong)

Cheers for the tip Leigh, managed a 1:01.423 with the following changes to my previous setting.

TOE -0.15/0.15

Of course I don't know about how to tune, but your Toe setting gave me the idea to try +ve numbers because I only use -ve numbers before for toe.
