There was an error. It turns out the car was not tested properly in the first place.
Ther test driver who submitted the times for the C6 has received a pay cut.
This is not becoming a farce. In fact, if you saw the races we had today you would realize all the work we put into testing vehicles has paid off. We had races where nearly the entire grid stayed reasonably close throughout the whole race. Something that NEVER happened in the old league. There would always be a few cars that would "runaway" previously. However, the C6 seemed to be too quick amongst the others, and after testing it further it proved to be too fast. (it ran 54 second laps in testing)
If the damn thing has not been tested, don't say it has.

The goal has been, and still is, to insure as consistent performance as possible across all cars. During practice today it was noted by others, and confirmed by myself (driving the car), that the Vette was indeed a tick or two faster then the other cars.
It would be best for everyone in the league to assume that no car is safe from banning. If it ever becomes apparent that any car has an unfair advantage, whether it be the first or last race of the season, it's going to get banned.
a tick or 2 faster is less than the difference in driver skill, imo.

From League Leader: One car gets mistakenly approved, and removed, and now all the work we have done, with several people during several hours is a farce? Youre making it a little difficult for me to spend even more time trying to figure out a way to make races in a timezone that work just for you tbh. If you must know the full story before you jump to conclusions you should know that the vette was mainly tested by Weekend_warrior, near the end of our tests, he got a good time but not a extremly fast one, but his times were a little slower then the rest of us, so we didnt care much for it, its become pretty apparent that hes gotten alot better with the car afterwards. At this point we had other people test the car and confirm it was indeed faster, so it was banned. I dont see the reason to panic over this. AFAIK you were even gonna choose another NSX, WW is the one being affected here and he was honest enough to let us know that maybe he was wrong about the vette. Id appreciate if you had a bit more trust on the hard work UFRA, Niks, WW and Angst are having here. Also it was pretty damn apparent that all this hard work paid off during practice today. Most balanced races Ive ever had in GT5. Im sure everyone there would agree.
Yeah, I specifically said I was choosing the Z06 a few posts ago, but that's okay. I also have tried to provide assistance in finding a time, and have only requested a very small change.
Edit: And providing the full story does help with avoiding people making assumptions.

People (not directed at anyone in particular). Stop complaining and just ask or move on and choose another car. Giving grief to people spending their assets (time, CR and whatnot) only makes things worse. Thank you to all those involved in making the league better.
Not accepted by anyone in particular
Look, I think since the time zone thing is such an issue and since I don't seem to agree that such parity in cars is important I think it might be best if I withdraw. May I make some suggestions for your future leagues? You might want to make it clear that people in Asian timezones are less welcome, and make the damn thing a 1 make race, so no one can complain.
I mean no offence to those who have tested the cars, and if you look, I actually congratulated the people on the list presented, and was looking forward to getting down to racing. But the league has gone from one with varying times, and a desire for a wide variety of cars, without worrying too much about ultimate performance, to one with set times and an obsession with making sure no one has a car slightly faster than any other.
I do appreciate everyone's hard work, but if it is not communicated what is happening behind the scenes it is a bit difficult to give credit. I was unaware that the group practises were the test sessions, so apologies if I have denigrated anyones work.
In light of the fact that it is too hard to find a time in which I can race, you may was well consider me out.
/rant.
Sorry for shitting up your league guys.
Edit 2: Look, the only communication I have really received from anyone is that my first car was banned, the races were now at a set time that I could not participate at, and my second car was banned. Sorry if I got shitty. Have fun, and maybe we can all learn a thing or two from this.
