Looks like a couple of RX7s and RX8s are close. I'll represent team Mazda.

I regret to say I will not be able to make this event, I simply have too many cars that have been modified and not enough cars that have not. Sitting there trying to figure out what cars can and can not get on to the track with prohibited tuning with my list of cars will suppress the fun for me.

Hosestly, I'm just going to grab a car and drive and not worry about whether it's been modified or not. This is supposed to be fun.   :-\

Edit: just realized that the room will probably be configured for no tuning ...

Edit2: guess I'll just drive whatever ... consider me a maybe

Thats what I did last night Grilled .... got 12 of them sitting in my favorites ready to go.  They are probably dogs, but they meet spec.  And if I run more than 12 races, well BOOOO .... I'll sneak a repeat in.  :P

I'd love to join everyone tonight, but I don't have a lot of cars and their all modified.  Had to start the game over and rebuild my livery.  Have fun tonight!

I would think the online dealership and used car lot would yield at least a half dozen cars that would meet spec.  I havent been in there this week, so just a guess.

Most everyone should have some GTAcademy cars too.  I believe it was 3 of those I found to meet spec.  The premium dealership would get you a bunch too.

I'm picking out cars right now, and I think I'm coming around on this deal. I think this is going to be fun.

This ain't my rodeo, but I'd like to suggest a small twist in the rules to try and accommodate guys like me. What if shuffling was optional **BUT** if you landed on the podium (top 3 slots), then it's mandatory for the next race? Would that be ok? Again, not my rodeo, but this might allow folks who just want to drive a way to keep driving a car they like (and make them happy).

Just a thought. Looking forward to this. See yall tonight.

That was a lot of fun. Wouldn't mind if it was that way every week. Only issues I encountered were:

1. Some of my cars had engine upgrades and I forgot, which meant that when I went to use them there was nothing I could do.

2. On some cars, I had time to save my tune to Setting A before switching to Setting B and setting everything back to stock.

3. However, many times, I was the last one in the room trying to get this done. A little more time between races would help.

4. I got disco'd on the last race, called it a night.

Great fun. Thanks for letting me drive the Miata a bit. That was a blast.

i thought this was a really good shuffle stepper(i generally don't like shuffles) no one got stuck in shitty cars for 2-3 races in a row unless they wanted to be in shitty cars...if your car sucked you only had YOUself to blame. it was kind of like a card game where once you drove a car(played a card) it was gone.it  letted you statagize for the faster tracks like use your vettes at daytona and your muscle cars at london.

I enjoyed it as well.  Was able to try and fit a car to the track chosen. I lucked out with having a wide selection of cars.  Was fun.

4WD Rally Cars @ Autumn Ring was a blast. The Speed 6 @ Trial Mountain was a hoot too.

Goos Times indeed.

I will continue to build my stock 440pp car collection. (I had some at that pp already and I'm not sure what from. Maybe it was from a Touch of Class evnet?)
