New seasonal: british lightweights + info and OCD update

[amar212]

Side note, the last lap has continually churned the quickest time. I find that odd for a couple reasons. One side of my brain says that concentration would be down at the end, thus generally slower. The other says that having navigated so many laps prior to the last, I've simply gotten the hang of the track. Any opinions?

Your tires are reaching the best performance doe to compound heating > best lap times.

Reaching optimum tire heat is heavily dependent on few factors in GT5: actual car weight, weight distribution, drivetrain configuration, type of pavement (asphalt) on particular track, actual track configuration and corresponding meteorological algorithm (noticeable in online races, especially on *time and weather* enabled ones).

Every car have different way of heating tires and every track have pretty much different *pavement factor*. Also, air temperature and moisture (on *time and weather* races most noticeably) are influencing the heating/wear of your tires.

Only got one thing to say about this challenge (although it is a bit late) .............Fireblade!

Not sure what's up with Monaco. I took the lead early and won by 11 seconds despite spending most of my time drifting and messing around. Compare that with the other tracks where I was taking the lead on the last lap and driving clean. I found it a bit strange.

The Elise's tail-happy ways make it ideal for Monoco. I hate the thing but still had a blast with it on that track. Now the TVR Tamora, that's a whole 'nother thing. Fabulous automobile, on all the tracks used in this season but especially the 'Ring.

Busy trying to beat 7 dead in the new macca but I think my setup needs some work - it bites you on the ass just as soon as you think about putting a tyre off the track
