AND THE ANSWER IS.........................Let's see if the Z32 can do a decent job in about 45 minutes
It just need a little tuning of its own 
It wouldn't have mattered if I was in the Z Performance '23 though, this combo just has not clicked for me at all. There was no way I was ever going to keep any kind of competitive pace regardless of which car I was in.
I moved up a tiny bit from the fray but was quickly back down in P14 by the middle of sector 2, constantly losing out having to go side-by-side through the sector where the Z33 actually has pace. All I could do was wave goodbye to everyone except a French driver who (and I have no idea how) widely veered right near the start of the main straight, going onto the grass and bashing into the wall. That allowed me to briefly move back up into P13. I say briefly because even after doing that, he overtook me going into turn 1. 
The balance of the cars here truly is comically bad.
My race (which I just realised had @Nebuc72 in, hi!) actually went better than expected. I didn't finish last!
I started dead last on the grid of 14 with a 1:56.744, more than 2 seconds off pole. My personal best would have only seen me taking P12/P13 at most.
As a positive, at least it meant I got to sit back and watch the turn 1 brawl unfold from safety.
From there I was just trundling along in last place until something caused a Brit to lose control after 100R on lap 4. My race then turned into a mad dash to keep it.
Props to the Italian in the other Z33 who somehow managed to claim P8. With how much the Z33 loses out to the '23 down the main straight I have absolutely no clue how he did that.
Congratulations on the win!
Slot 6: Finally got a proper Top Split race with a win worth 306 points. Qualified 6th and finished 5th for 255 points. That's probably where I'm gonna leave it.
The time has come. 😅
He's a mad man I'm like 11 second slower I imagine that changing the torque and the brake balance will be really important there 
I was Aston Martin in last year's main season and for the grand final demo at Spa. The Vantage served me very well in the grand final demo as I managed to win after starting P12 for about 270 points, so it's definitely not bad. I was rocketing along whilst it was wet, it seemed to handle very well under the circumstances.My God, the n.1 time right now in the table of Fisherman
I have also a question for fellow Aston Martin drivers: Is better the Vantage or the DBR at Spa ?
The time has come. 😅
I'm really torn on this next round after doing some practice last night. For me, VR actually feels like it makes rallying significantly easier but at the cost of being a massive affront to the senses. This is definitely testing the newly acquired VR legs!
The camera doesn't like jumps at all. I think I've seen others refer to it as being "locked to the horizon"? When you go over a jump, you sometimes end up looking at the pedals even whilst keeping your head still.
For anyone who's curious what a VR lap looks like, here's one of mine whilst I was going through trying the various cars to see which suits me best:
The jump on the "back straight" about halfway through the lap (go to around 1:15) shows the camera issue pretty well.
Speaking of jumps, I wonder how many people are going to randomly die mid-race thanks to how GT7's physics manages landings. Lifting off in advance and rolling through still seems to be rolling the dice, even though it does increase the odds of surviving.
And hopefully the points will count this time after the entire round glitched out last time this combo came up...
