I think I've found out the cars:
BMW: It has the mechanical grip-good for slow corners i.e Monaco
Mazda: It has the traction- also good in the slow corners i.e also Monaco
Lexus: It has the best top end- good on the straights i.e Monza
Honda: Aerodynamic grip- good for medium to high speed corners i.e Tsukuba
Based on that theory I've already blown a chance at Madrid.
I had to play with a pad though that night.....

BMW seems pretty good at places like Tsukuba as well, but wheelspin in the slightly banked hairpins can kill you. My all time best with the Honda was a 1.00.4 at Tsukuba. As stock I ran my BMW 1st lap at Tsukuba as 1.00.9.
Monaco I reckon will be my weakest race though.
Does anyone think that we should have a practice lounge tonight?

If I didn't have an accident on lap 1 each race then I could've won at Monza, I was so annoyed with myself as I had the pace. Also I made a mistake of running lower downforce too which was idiotic.

Yeah the downforce is stupid in GT5. Downforce at maximum should be 3-4 seconds slower at Monza, but it's only 2-3 tenths so in these cars you might as well run full downforce, because you can stay in the draft and go faster through the corners.

Hi mate
I really hope tomorrow is a lot cleaner than Madrid. If I get punted out of a good finish, I'm not sure I'll be around for the following round

Well as a privateer for this weekend, i'm hoping to be in the high 1:40's MrMulsanne could you change my car to a Mazda 6 Touring Car please
Ok.
Just a couple things:
We are staying with the 276hp / 1100kg restrictions as they have proved to be very successful.
This weekend I am keeping an eye on everyone. No more warnings. And if anyone drives the wrong way... well thats them banned.

You'll have no problems with me not sticking to the regulations, I race in other GT5 and F1 Championships which is clean and fair racing only, however if I do somehow manage to cause an incident then I will immediately give the place back
