Niiiice! I am going to run some laps online soon...I thought I could hit 1:55 flat in practice mode but I wasn't good enough to pull off a 1:54. I don't know which environment is faster on these tires. Usually offline is quicker so that means I have some work to do.

Mid 1'55s are right in my wheelhouse, but I don't know how many laps I'll be able to maintain that with a FF.
I was able to get a few 54's consecutively but the fastest one was as close to perfect in a couple key spots as I think I can get.
After the high-speed left/right I'm usually in 4th around 92 but downshift to 3rd once it flattens out to keep from losing speed for the slight uphill before the 1st tunnel. That lap I was at 90mph when downshifting to 3rd, right at limiter, and setup perfectly for tunnel. Down to 2nd and then back up to 3rd around 60-61mph upon exit.
The big downhill left-hander after the 3rd tunnel is the other one. I had been shooting for 62-64mph upon exit, keeping way wide and entering late but this time went through the turn at about 68. I was still able to keep it around 65-66 @ exit due to backing off though I really didn't have to. I was a full second faster by the end of the 3rd sector.

Esh, sounds about right. I would have lost your ghost exiting the first tunnel. I am usually at 58-59. I keep trying different approaches because it seems like you can go faster and use more of the track, but my fastest laps have been ones where the car stays inside.

If you all are at home during the day today, and not busy, could you possibly start checking cars that are shared? I've got school today, and it will be later tonight before I can start checking them.
ALSO:
EVERYONE PM ME PARTS YOU HAVE PURCHASED SO I CAN CREATE THE CHARTS AND SPREADSHEET FOR THE SERIES! It will make it easier to check, I know I'm asking a lot, but it would be greatly appreciated! (Thanks for reminding me Morbo!)

As soon as I get home from work today, I'll ensure my car is shared (which it should already be,) send a couple more FRs, and PM you my car specifics with purchased upgrades (of which there are two I think, but I can't remember which ones at the moment.)

Yes Nic, all parts are available after race 1...as long as you have the reward credits to purchase them. You'll have to decide whether a transmission is worth the price compared to a turbo. Check the first post for updated prices. We have changed the price of certain parts for competitive purposes.
Keep in mind the value of the parts when building your lemon for race 1. Install more expensive parts first since they are free before the first race. For example, I would choose the intake manifold over the air filter. Both will give you a similar boost in PP, but the filter is a cheaper purchase after the first race.

If you want. I'm trying to get him to forward me what y'all have already sent to him, but see his earlier message.
