Impreza LM Race Car problem

[JB23]

Okay, I'm in the middle of a 10 race series, and my Impreza Race car has been kicking butt reaching 219 MPH on some straights. Then I get to the Test Track race, and suddenly, having done no tweaking, it can't get above 171. This carries into the next race. Any thoughts? This was a prize car and hasn't been driven enough to need an oil change.

Very strange, can only be a glitch. Quit the championship and check if it happens on another race.

Are you sure you didn't tweak? For there to be such a big difference, you must have tweaked the gears.

Does it just not accelerate anymore or does it hit the rev limiter (speed will bounce up and down)?

 

[JB23]

It hits the rev limiter. I'm going to quit and go to my last save and see where I am.

 

[JB23]

Alright. I swear I did no tweaking. Well, I'm fairly sure. Anyway. Tweaked the gears; all is good. Now to reenter the GT All Stars in Amat Lg. Thanks for the help, guys.

Don't thank me, thank daan.

Just to follow up, once I re-tuned this car, I had no trouble winning the GT All-Stars series. The races were close, as I won by anywhere from 1 to 4 seconds, but I felt in control in all the races. To reiterate what someone said in another thread, there's nothing like learning to tune a car yourself. I'm finally starting to get the hang of it.
