I'll try and show up for a few, given my notoriously BAD luck when it comes to the cars the Shuffle Monkey gives me I may end up not staying very long :D.

It's not all that bad Feldynn! I just try and not come in last with a crappy car.

I'm setting up a room now doing 1 lap races to try out all the shuffle cars so I know them all, just in case. :)

Wow. Ok, I've done a few shuffle races before and had fun. But just driving in here by myself and iterating over the cars, I'm a little shocked at how different they are. That Camaro SS has 4 gears and a top speed of 112 mph. I posted a flawless 1'35" lap in it. And I just laid down a 1'27" in the RX7. What the hell?
Hopefully that algorithm that assigns the cars is good at keeping things even. :'(

That was super fun. Good racing with ya MX-5 and everyone else!

For once the Shuffle Monkey was reasonably nice to me! Sure I did get a couple of clunkers but it wasn't nearly as bad as the last few times, and the racing was awesome too from the first race to the last.
Goos times!

I had a blast in the shuffle. Thanks everyone.
I'd say the monkeys did pretty good. I had 2 Imprezas ('96 '98), 1 Lancer ('02), both old Camaros, and an NSX (Type S '97?). The Camaros where the only turds, and that was purely because of the gearing. I actually enjoyed the AWD when I drove them 'right'. I wanted the NSX, until I got it. Untuned on sports hard tires...those things are a handful. I was surprised I made it through the Ring with only one major event (on the last set of corners)

Great racing with you guys last night. Sorry for any paint loss due to my shenanigans out there.
I wish PD would give us the option (a checkbox maybe) where it would give everyone the same car. It would shuffle the cars each race, but everyone would be driving the same car on the track. That would take a lot of the pain out of shuffle, imho.
Looking forward to the next event,
Michael

connection issues brought my night to an early end but I had a blast in the races I was able to stay for.

I'm not sure the shuffle provides great racing, but it's the most fun type event I can think of. As someone mentioned last night, the objective usually isn't to win, it's to not come in last.
In my first race, I got the SL 600 Merc. I figured it would be a sweet ride, coming from Germany and all. The first thing I noticed is it simply doesn't turn. You basically stop, wait for the Earth to rotate and then go again. Unfortunately, it doesn't stop very well either, so you typically need something like sand, a wall, or another car to actually slow. Then, when you finally do get it stopped and the Earth rotated so you can turn, it's got a shitty transmission, so it doesn't go very well either. Theoretical top speed in that must be about 340 because with each shift the engine bogged down.
But that's half the fun, getting a shitty car and watching the clock show you're losing two seconds per split. The other half is listening to everyone else bitch about the shitty car they're in or listening to them laugh at the shitty car you're in. Except for Ronin, because his connection always sucks so you can only hear everything 7rd word.

For me that is the part of shuffle racing that is fun, not knowing what car you are getting. It lets us slower guys have a chance to win a race every once in awhile! Really had a blast last night, let's do this more often!
