My car was a disaster and the game gave me a 20+ second penalty in pit lane (yes I entered cleanly).
I was doing consistent mid 34's yesterday, now I have no idea why it's in the mid 35's!
That by the way is equal to the overweight, un-run in Maserati I have, WTF!
Im really struggling for lap pace, can anyone offer some pointers?
I doing the best I can and it's clearly not enough to be competitive. Really frustrated.

I think something needs to be done about the 370Z, but I'm not sure what. CSL mentioned maybe less weight and less power, which might work. All I know is it has good straight speed, but it just cannot keep up in the corners. Not to mention it has no brakes pretty much, so when you are down on tire wear it's just highlighted so much you worry about getting rear ended for braking early because you have to.
All in all a close race with the BMW's, but these cars are definitely not capable of the times being set by everything else.

Yeah, we had a great race between the M3 and the Z between me, minion, green, csl, and rt... but I do agree, the Z needs to be made slower in a straight line and faster in the corners. Not sure how you fix the braking (base it on a different Z car?).
What I experienced; green was able to stay nicely in front and keep putting in times that the Z's couldn't keep up with... but the Z is so bonkers fast in a straight line that it was basically impossible to pass.
It required me to drive dangerously close to the car in front, get power down before the Z, draft (as the z walks away), and hope he makes a mistake at the next corner. Since even with the draft I couldn't stay with it on the straights; any pass attempt under braking (its weakness) is a dive bomb from 2 car lengths back.

Yeah, sorry again to those that were the victim of this. I really try hard not to do those sorts of things, but the only thing I could do was swerve to the inside and hope everyone saw me soon enough to delay their turn-in.
Oh, I was saying that the only way to get by the Z was to do a late brake dive bomb since you were pulling a few car lengths on the straights. I think I payed you back for the one knock you gave me anyway

Apparently the D1 race wasn't exciting enough for anyone to post about it.

I did some playing with the Z, but didn't have a wing or miles on it so I couldn't turn any really proper laps, but it certainly felt better with some minor changes, and I found 2 options for it.
Option 1 is to keep the same weight, but add weight reductions and use rearward ballast to bring the weight back up to 1310kg's.(brings the weight dist right to 50/50 or so)
This works nicely, but isn't a large difference overall, just better balance, so a bit more front grip for cornering, less for the rear (which is nice) and more grip for accelerating (which is super).
Option 2 is to add ballast from minimum weight to the rear, but drop the weight a bit, it still felt really nice at 1280kg's, and would certainly require a bit less speed and power at the lower weight.

Am I free to paint my 370Z any colour, or does it have to be black like the other teams? Also, I need a team mate 
.
Edit: Anyone got times for Rome too please? Give me a target to try & get closer to.

You might wait until Aderrrm confirms your registration.

Suppose that could help... hopefully confirm if I can get arty with my 370Z too

Well, can't tell you what happened in the front because I wasn't close enough to see. Long story short, Adam won by three seconds over TA and Tony.Apparently the D1 race wasn't exciting enough for anyone to post about it.
As for my race, again, draft effects equals bad car, as usual, and I was struggling get within .5 of what I was capable of. Nep hung with the aliens, while cicua got around me, so I tailed him most of the first stint. Actually kept pace with the leaders, staying about 5-6 seconds behind. Then Nep's tires fell off a cliff, and he fell back to Cicua and me around Lap 10-11. Good battle there although I lost a chunk of time since I couldn't get around either of them. I was the last in the pits, and somehow got a good gap on Cicua. Soon, caught up to Nep, passed him, and had a few slips up. Held on to 4th, 15 seconds behind.
Or, the way I see it, first in the human category.

The way I see it, you can divide this up into tiers:
Super-aliens:
Aderrrm
Tony
TA
Aliens:
Nepalii
R1600Turbo
Welsh-Bain
redreevos
Cicua
Wiifreak
Wardez
Green
Borderline Aliens:
outlaw
CSL
Watson
Brosif
carracer
Litchi
Aliens
Paginas
Then everyone else is human. Though I'm probably forgetting people, and this is based on people who I've raced with a lot. All of the above could go into any random lobby and beat everyone.

Don't get me wrong, D2 isn't where I want to be but given the condition of the Z I was glad that I wasn't racing the front runners.

I prefer to be called the Nico Rosberg of GT5. Always finishes well, but never wins.MÜLE_9242;6696915
I'm still trying to figure out who won D1.Don't get me wrong, D2 isn't where I want to be but given the condition of the Z I was glad that I wasn't racing the front runners.

I guess you are the only one from D1 who felt like talking about the race after it finished.
Edit: Make that two people.

I want you guys to tell me how am I an alien? Today's performance just showed how behind I am compared to many. Started 4th and got down to 6th. I am horrible on tire wear. Please move me to the human list Mule or borderline aliens.
You dominated everyone in the RX-7 race at SSR5 for one.
