I used fugitive's setup above for a base setup. However, I was only able to run about 29.3's. I ran about 200 laps of practice tweaking that setup, and got down to a best lap of 28.56, using the setup below
Keep in mind, this is a QUALIFYING setup

My best lap with this setup is a 29.56. You should be able to hold it wide open if you can hit the entry to the corners right. It will probably slide up from the center off, but if it does, don't try to hold it on the bottom, just stay smooth. You could probably drop the wedge a little to counter that slide from the center off.
The problem with this setup is that, while fast, it burns off the RF VERY quickly because there is so much pressure on the inside of the RF. Within 15 laps, the car pushes so bad that you have to slow down to like 155 in the corners and you get smoked. So make the following changes for the race.
Tape 50%
Because I said before that this setup wears the inside of the right front, take some of that negative camber out of the RF to get the tire to contact the track more evenly. Change the RF Camber to -1.0. I stopped at -1.0, but you could probably go a little bit further. This will make the car push, so increase the LF camber to 7.0. To further counteract the push caused by the drop in negative RF camber, drop the Front weight bias to 50.0, and raise the left side bias to 54.2.
once you have this setup down, dont mess with suspension or tires. Just tweak the weight percentages. If it's pushing, take weight off the nose of the car, and vice versa. If you're having a problem with the RF still being buried into the track, try stiffening up that RF spring a little bit
With this race setup, you can run a 28.8, and consistent 29.0-29.1s. This setup is a little bit slower than the qualifying setup, but the RF will hold on a lot longer and 35-40 laps into a run, you'll still be running 29.9-30.0s, whereas with the other setup, you'd be in the 30s just 15 laps into the run.
I have run a LOT of laps tweaking these setups, and I hope they work for you!
