I moved adjustment from -2,2 torsio to 2,2 which was best setup for this car and the time went from 267 seconds to 243 seconds and to back direction from 278s to 253s. I started the test from 70 km/h speed and put the pedal to the floor. This way car would accerelerate and the small differences in start speed would not have so big impact to end result.
-2,2 =12600m/267s+278s=12600m/545s=23,1 m/s--> 83,1 km/h avg speed car needs about 8,5 hp for this avg speed
2,2=12600m/243s+253s=12600m/496s=25,4m/s-->91,4 km/h avg speed car needs about 10,5 hp
During the testing top speed got 10 km/h higher from 105->115 km/h and car was able to keep much higher speeds at uphills and steady sections as well.

Thank you for sharing! I didn't that such a large difference could be made by adjusting the timing alone.
