Hey Rom - I can imagine you are possibly upset at the reset, given you would have put in a lot of hard work to get so close to a clean-sweep of Group As. (I know I would be!) Did you keep records of your previous times?

I think your past success would make you a good benchmark for testing whether the physics have changed. If you've got the time and patience to give about a dozen Time Trials a crack, it would be interesting to hear your feedback on how easily (or not) you manage to beat your past times and/or old ghosts.

No worries if you don't feel like it - I'm not sure I'd ever want to do another TT if I were in your shoes! I did not, in hindsight it might have been a good idea to do so. I was just content with being in Group A, not worried about my time.

As far as a comparison, I don't think I can be much help for a few reasons:
 * A few of my group A times were actually from a very long time ago (2014 or early 2015), having improved since, being faster may not be a result of performance changes on the car
 * A lot (probably 80%) of my previous times were set before the change where having two wheels off-track affected braking, meaning I could take a wider radius into corners, which made me faster that is possible now
 * Once again, a lot of those times were set by renting upgrades (not sure if you're one of the contributors who frowned upon it, but hey doesn't matter now) as it wasn't possible to compete with cars that only have a third or less of their upgrades as R$ before running into Gold ones, so re-running them is usually in an under-powered car
 * Finally, when I'm running them at the moment, it's just to set a time and collect bonuses, don't want to waste time trying too hard, as there are so few people on each that Group A is usually 5 to 20 people and that would take too long

Maybe a few weeks/months down the line, I might pick it up again, but it's a daunting thought for the time being. Sorry I couldn't help more, I know of two people that frequent this site (although less and less) who are very good in TTs, therefore might keep track of that data: Rubeo38 and LussoBerlinetta.
