       Gears:  Playing around with your gear ratios can save you some
       time.  Generally you want to max 6th gear at the end of a long
       straight, but also balance the gears to minimize gear changes
       through some section of track can also save a lot of time. Also,
       if you have lots of lower speed sections you really want good
       lower gear ratios.
       Steering:  Lock range is personal preference.  I generally have
       smooth measured steering inputs, so I lower the lock ratio.
       Power Diff:  Helps mainly corner exit and mid corner on power
       turn, so play with this to give less wheel spin and max
       acceleration through and out of corners.  Lower = more oversteer
       on power
       Coast Diff: This can help a lot with off power understeer, so
       reducing this will reduce mainly mid corner off power
       understeer.  However, this can also affect braking and corner
       stability.
       Pre-load: This one has me a little confused, but generally my
       car is more stable with this on a higher setting
       Aero:  These cars are very sensitive to aero, so the lower the
       better.  Rear aero can help a lot with braking stability, and
       obviously high speed corners.
       Engine:  I always seem to run max revs, lowest possible radiator
       to avoid overheating and fuel mix at max.  I have also started
       to run the lowest brake mapping, but I am not sure how much this
       really affects things.
