The only really slippery parts of the track are after the long straight with the hairpin at the end, and the two turns after you fly down the hills. I would just recomend taking these sections extremely carefully and try to drive really smooth, and you'll get a good lap time.

I reckon the slippiest bit is the couple of corners before the long straight, where you bounce over the tram lines. It's crucial to get a nice smooth exit there to build up as much speed as possible on the long straight, so keep it easy and straight over the tram lines so as not to get too much oversteer.

I'm using +20 % hp and -10% weight, you need the hp for the straights and of course lower weight for handling.ok i need more help then, how do i break 1'40? im a horrible driver so the least you could do is tell me what settings you used
That's definitely the hardest section and most important to a good time, but I haven't had much traction problems there... maybe I should push it harder.
Furniture
how do you control the traction with that?!?!
i got my 1'44.5 with -9% power and -10% weight
i tried with +20% power and -10% weight and it was slower than 1'45 by a few sefconds

You need to learn how to feather the throttle to control traction. For me it's WAY easier using the stick as opposed to the X button to do this. You need to play it by ear really. When you hear the rear wheels start burning rubber and the revs rising, back out of the throttle a bit. Then slowly feed it back in once the rear wheels start to grip again. If it starts slipping again, do the same. The extra power might make it a little wild in the low speed stuff, but it pays BIG dividends on the straights.
You have to keep the back end in line as much as possible. It might look good sliding around in spectacular fashion, but it is inefficient and ain't gonna get you anywhere fast. Keep it as smooth and controlled as possible, focus on your braking points and your lines through the corners. And then just practice, practice, practice and the times should slowly improve.

Judging from the time I just set....and we all know I'm slow...someone will easily break into the 35's if not 34's.
