It's way more than an extra lap.
In 'My Lounge' my tires were still blue and quite cold by the end of 3 laps. My best lap over a few hours was a 1'43.049 on the 3rd lap.
In Open Lobby my tires were up to temperature starting the 3rd lap. When I went into Paginas' room, I did a better lap straight away on the 3rd lap in free run of 1:42.5xx
Try it for yourself... it's definitely a lot different.

I would say that open lobby is more realistic in terms of warming tires up, having go-karted quite a bit during the winter. Your tires just stay cold for too long in my lounge.
To get your tires fully up to temperate in
Open lobby - about 3-4 laps
My lounge - I haven't tried but probably... 7 or 8?
It should definitely be changed so that both are identical though.

Very Surprised about my lap, using my own setup as I am more comfortable with it.

It's because your lounge is in England. If you lived in a warmer climate they'd warm up faster.
If you haven't tried then why do you say 7 or 8?
I must be living in moderate climate because for me the lounge and open lobby seem identical. Offline is of course completely different and much grippier.

Scanny I got a room open at this time. I had ran to town when you came and went.
It's under the same number as Pag has posted. Same room different host.

Well posting here about it repeatedly isn't going to help. If you can identify where you're losing time, then maybe people can give you advice. Given that you couldn't feel the difference between online and offline physics, I think you probably just need more practise. Sorry if that's mean.
On another note, is anyone else here getting Shift 2? I should be getting mine tomorrow as long as the mailman isn't hit by a brick, and it'd be cool to test some online stuff with people I know.

This is the first I've spoken of it. I JUST qualified under 2 hours ago..... My guess as of now is my car is not broken in and I am HP gimped atm. Nor am i complaining, simply figuring stats out.
I would absolutely love to know where you are getting this information from. If I mistyped something, I apologize and I will edit that post, but I have never said I could not tell the difference between Offline and Online. I was wondering tyre warm-up differences between Open Lobby and Lounge.
Not mean, just get your facts straight.

I read that as "I had to be told", which was reinforced by you not noticing the difference between Lounge/Lobby. Sorry if that's incorrect.

Sounds like complaining about speed to me. Again, if you can identify your problems so that people can help, cool. If you're just posting that other people are faster than you, I don't see the point to be honest.
In the above quotes you're blaming the tune and the car respectively. Hell, you're blaming it again above by saying that you're down on HP. I'm just trying to suggest that you should keep it constructive, and maybe accept that it's you that needs to improve, rather than the car.
Aderrrm has shown us all that it's possible to be fast in a car that we all thought was a write-off. That's pure driving skill. There's lots of people here who are good drivers who can help you improve.
If you're fine with your pace, then be cool about it. If you want to improve, start asking the right questions.

No, I've ran my own series before, back when the game first came out and all things were new. So that's where the "finding out" was from. You read stuff weird if you get that from what was typed.
I would say 70% of my GT5 driving has been done in a Super GT car. I am not worried about my skill by any means. I am very confident I will be a competition on Friday. My biggest gimp was getting used to Hard tires because I never used them before, but I have come accustomed to them. I am pushing that car as fast as I can. But when someone stated a lexus being 530hp and mine is 505, ya I'm going to say HP is a difference this time. So lap grinding it is.

Make sure you got 200 miles on the car. If it's got 500 plus rebuild it.
That might be your issue.

This is not to say that aderrrm not is a very good driver i know he is probarbly better ten myself. But about the MR-S i dont think it is a slow car i did some testing and it was as fast and very good to drive(all gt300 are but special like the garayia rx7 and celica) i was close to take it but because i did not have had any of the standard for long i played safe and took the rx-7
btw in paginas lounge my times was much faster then before(i have always done open lobby) i thougt that was very strange my best before was 1.42,89x and in pagi first try 1.42.45x i did not really think it was a very good lap and then in qualy i made many mistakes on my lap and i thougth it is going t be 1.43.5 and then 1.43.179 btw can anyone send me some gt300 cars i have the premium and standard rx7's and premium garayia and celica if you have the standard garayia i will love you to send it to me

I do. I played the hell out of 1 and 2 and loved them both.
The MR-S is not as slow as the stats show - 315 BHP and 1125 kg. If you were to push every one of them to their limits and then see the results the Garaiya and RX-7 would definitely be faster. The MR-S does understeer a little which is where the Garaiya and RX-7 and even the Celica handle better. The MR-S is actually faster by 1.5-2 mph down the Fuji straight though which is why it's probably fast here. The Garaiya, RX-7 and Celica would definitely be faster on a track like Laguna.

Very much so. The stats are not the whole story.
There's something else, probably aero related, that has a large effect. We already found it in the IS350, it's massively slower than equivalent cars for no obviously good reason other than this hidden stat. "Pointy" cars tend to be pretty good, which is what leads me to believe it's aero based. I could be wrong, it could be just a random bollocks number that PD pulled out of their backsides.
Anyway, I agree that the MR-S is decent. It requires a bit more work to get it up to speed, it's got odd handling and the power/torque curve is very odd. It would be better now, when I was originally testing it we still couldn't mod individual gears. Setting the gears correctly for that car would help a lot I would imagine.
I agree that it's ultimately probably not quite as fast as the Garaiya/RX7, but it has other things that make it good. Similar to the Celica, which isn't *quite* as fast as the big two, but it's nice to it's tyres so it often makes big gains at the end of stints. I haven't tyre tested the MR-S, it might have a similar property.

to be honest i think i next season will swith to the celica because of tyre wear but if anyone have the standard garayia and will give it to me have a silver chrome(i know it is not a trading thread but it just never show up i ucd)
