What's one of those?

You set the PP of the car in the lobby, and the "spread" (difference between cars) and when you Go To Track a random car is selected for you that meets the room settings criteria.

Is the car selection from the games garage or your own? As most of my vehicles haven't been driven or even have a set of decent tyres on them.

Random cars from the game its a funny mode all cars are almost equal its good to have a few races with it.

 

[The_Carpet_Frog]

I do quite like this mode it as if I remeber rightly you cant do any setup changes, so your ability (or lack of) to set a car up wont matter.

 

[Plaxinator]

Well I have chosen a 450pp French car, painted it a pretty colour and fiddled with some settings. Taken it for a spin and it seems ok. Not really practiced too much though as I spent more time looking at paint colours than anything else lol. Hopefully I'll be able to choose a muscle car tomorrow afternoon and fiddle with that and get some practice in. Won't get a chance tonight as I'm off out. So I *might* get further up the grid than normal. I'm a step closer than last week anyhow

 

[HaloJ]

Step closer than me as well as I still need to pick up the cars and obviously spend an age getting the colour just right.

Likely do that Saturday afternoon or maybe early this evening if I can.

 

[HaloJ]

Both cars ready. French one is naff and I can't tweek it quick enough. American car doesn't matter as I'll just look and sound good. Burble burble burble, oh yeah.

 

[Martok]

My two cars are ready too, although gear raios will probably need tweaking for each track.

Looking forward to tonight.

 

[HaloJ]

Couldn't find a Pontiac Firebird Transam '77 special, a Ford Mustang Fastback '69 or a Chevrolet Impala '67 so settled for a lovely 70s Ford Mustang Mach1. Not sure who that girl is in the background, she insisted on sitting on the phone rather than getting the hell out of shot.

 

[The_Carpet_Frog]

You should try taking a portrait picture of her.

 

[P-Newson666]

I'm racing elsewhere tonight. Doing the Endurance races

 

[Plaxinator]

You should try taking a portrait picture of her.

Yep,you might be nicely rewarded for the effort

I've only chosen my Froggy car, gonna finish my latest ale (Tangle Foot - it's a nice one) and then boot up the PS3 to choose my muscle car. At least I'll have decided on my cars before hand, baby steps and all that. Maybe next week I'll actually get some real practice in.

 

[ChrissPeacock]

Henrietta and I will not be able to make it until somewhere between 9 and 10. I will obviously try to make it closer to 9 than 10!

 

[Jkrohn1]

I tried a portrait it came out like this

Lol guess who
