Try using more front wing and less rear wing. Yes, you will be driving an
oversteering car. It will be trickier to drive but with the right level of
"losing-the-rear-end", it helps you "turn-in" better therefore cutting a
lot of time in the corners. You might have to adjust your driving line
and braking point a bit.

This is for dry races only. You don't want to drive an oversteering
car in the wet.

A bit of advice.  Set the front wing quite high.  nearly all tracks will
require 57 -64 at the front and the rear at about 30- 40.  Set the brake
balance back to 7 -14 R and you should be able to turn in hard with a little
oversteer.  By having the brake balance back so far you should be able to get
a turn in under braking (as the rear end breaks away) and therefore it is
possible to brake just that little bit later still. You will find now that
some of those bends where you ran out of road are now possible flat.

Actually, the setups given above will understeer very badly. A setup
like 64/40 is close to neutral. What really makes the car oversteer
is heavy rear brake bias, somewhere between 10R and 20R (usually
14R).

How true. Then again, I don't want to drive ANY racecar in the wet.
