Okay, apart from learning the car (be careful not to underestimate the grip you can get out of the f1 cars) and the tracks, you can change the set up to get a bit more out of the car.
Firstly, I generally take the ASM all the way down to 0. This gives more power, but without really losing much handling.
Similarly, with TCS. I usually take TCS down to between 0 and 5, depending on how many slow corners there are on the track (and so much I'm going to need some traction control). I find that turning TCS off really does affect the handling significantly (in a bad way!).
Secondly, I look at gear ratios. On Cote D'Azur, for example, I shorten the ratios quite a lot, because I won't be needing as much top-end speed.
On the Test Course race (no. 6 I think), you should lengthen the gear ratios, raise the ride height, reduce the downforce, and turn off ASM & TCS completely.
Generally, it might help to use an f1 car on one of the endurances first. This is a good way of getting some time in that car, and getting used to the weird handling. You'll also get through the endurance in super-quick time!
