SirAlanCliveI don't know if it makes much difference, but I changed my wheels. I couldn't see any reference to this in the OP, but the car did an update as I left the GT auto shop, so it must have changed something. Have I done something wrong?

iSidiousYou shouldn't have met another car if you had a 1'30.2xx on your last lap, it is only your last lap time you should be posting.
Unless you meant that you had already ruined the run before the last lap.
It's allowed, in all events where tuning is allowed.
Welcome to WRS
SirAlanCliveThanks mate. Got to say this is the most fun I've had out of GT5 in a long time. Big thanks to the guys who make this happen! 👍
A question to the powers that be...I see some of the times on the leaderboard are brown. These look like good times for the class of driver involved. Are they 'better than expected' leading to potential promotions? If so, is there any way to work out one's own 'better than expected' time? I want to make mine brown!
Great going Baron, you've got your mojo this week. 👍
Nice improvements there mate. 👍 Drafting doesn't play a part on your last lap... or shouldn't in theory since you should be running in clear air at that point. AI line-up is crucial to overall time though due to timing your overtakes without having to lift off through the bends or brake earlier than you want to. My fastest mid-race lap so far was a 1'29.908 but consistency was bad on that run and I haven't managed to match it yet - that was done with a good slip-stream down the back straight after the infamous "kink". Best clear run last lap is a 1'30.119 but again set without the required consistency over the race.
That's the ticket aint it..? Plus I swear the damned AI is out to get me, even suddenly swerving offline right into my path.
Problem with joining WRS is the wife complaining even more than usual about the amount of time I, a grown man of 52 for god's sake, spend with that children's toy (and all those teenagers). But hey! look at him sweetheart, he's 74 so leave me alone alright?

Another slight improvement in overall time and a slightly better last lap too:
1'30.197
That'll do for today I think.
. I'm thinking it's the big long lefthander round the Colosseum - I got lots of room for improvement there - can't wait to see your replay.
I've been playing GT for about 10 yrs and after just 2 yrs my Sweetheart gave up complaining about the time I spent at the wheel! Give the "Little lady" a big hug and some attention, she'll be ok.Problem with joining WRS is the wife complaining even more than usual about the amount of time I, a grown man of 52 for god's sake, spend with that children's toy (and all those teenagers).

Thanks for the nice welcome. GTPlanet's a nice place to start with, with even nicer nooks and crannies.
While I'm at it, thought I'd post this image from one of the links Ealirendur posted. Maybe it'll go faster if we imagine it could look like this:

Such things are wasted on the young! 
Don't make her a GT Widow but she must understand, most of us are grown men (and the odd woman even) and this is better than being out at the pub or bowling alley etc... My wonderful missus is the one who has, piece by piece, provided all my accessories for this obsession... and I'm not alone in that.

Will have to come back for some more tomorrow to shave off some more time.
