Something wrong with my team! Please help!

Please help.

My team has gotten slow and I don't understand it. I won the first two races of the current season (plus the last 3 championships, so i like to think I know what I'm doing) but since about the 5th race my car has been slow! Very very slow and finishing dry normal races 30-40 seconds behind the winner. My spies tell me my car is the same or better than everyone elses in the league and I've not changed drivers or any suppliers so I don't know what is going on. It's almost as if my setup is not being saved and I'm racing with rubbish 'base' settings.

I did win one race recently but that was wet and I had full wets on while most other teams (only 7 active in the league currently) had inters on and were 10 seconds per lap slower, plus I was helped by the race drying towards the end but as I was following it live I cancelled my pitstop for dry tyres to take the lead and win. I'm normally the only one following races live in our league.

So, our most recent race I finished last, 30 seconds behind the winner. I'm not happy as I don't understand it. How can I go from winning to be completely uncompetetive??

Has this happened to anyone else? 
Devs - Is it me? Is it my browser (I use Chrome. Not been a problem before. Nothing changed there)

HELP??!!

Not sure if serious.

You won Turkey, so there is nothing to complain about there.

You ran hards at Silverstone on a 25% race, you have no chance of winning by doing this when it is as cold as it currently is.

Nearly everyone was on hards, and I completely lucked the Turkey win only because I was following the race live and everyone else in my league hasn't figured out that running inters is fairly pointless.

In Britain I qualified second, but then to lose 2 seconds per lap just doesn't add up to me. Maybe it is just me but it makes zero sense! I was 40 seconds behind in Monaco and ran softs. My car is in the 90's and I'm getting thrashed by cars in the 40's.

No I agree with you David.

Currently a team in our division with 50% equipment and a level 7 driver is straight up beating multiple teams with 70-90% equipment, and lv 9, 10 & 11 drivers on similar strategies. 

There are far too many variables to pinpoint just one thing. I know I have been fortunate enough to go on a win streak in my league, but if people looked hard enough they'll see the second best team is a level 5 with level 5 drivers beating up on level 8-9 teams.

If you're not doing it right, you're not doing it right. As such as racing in real life, you have to figure out why.

Exactly. Such as running hards at Silverstone in (I assume) negative temperatures (as they were yesterday)

I can confirm that Silverstone would have been in negative temps yesterday, I live and work fairly close to Silverstone and its f****** freezing at the moment. If your running hards they simply wont heat up meanig u'll be probably 3-4 seconds a lap off the pace. In fact any european race at the moment will need soft tyres regardless of the tyre wear rating for the tracks. This would match up to your sudden loss of pace, race 5 is Spain and the first of the european races. Take a closer look at the weather forcasts when doing your set-ups.

Actually spain is OK, hards are faster even as low as 4 degrees. But yes all the other european tracks definitely need softs. Belgium and Hungary are reaching -7 and what not.

This is normal, it's down to strategy.

OK, I'll keep plugging away, but I think to concentrate on 'hards at Silverstone' is missing my point completely, as I was beaten comprehensively by teams that also ran hards, similar strategy (pit one lap apart maybe) with lower level driver and a much less developed car. It doesn't make sense but perhaps some drivers can adapt better than others.....
Thanks to those who answered.
