Makeshift Shuffle - No Tuning RacesOpen

[tarnheld]

Somehow that came out of nowhere!

Pics will follow -- soon!

 

[amarynceos]

I don't have anything at all planned for today, but if anyone's around and interested, maybe we can throw some races together at the usual time. Perhaps some one makes or parity rounds... who knows? I'll open a room and see what happens.

Sorry for not being organized or having plans, life is awfully busy right now.

 

[John Wells]

No worries can do some practice for Sunday:tup:👍👍

 

[tarnheld]

Sorry @amarynceos, can't make it today. Have fun! 👍

 

[watermelon punch]

Racing? ^^

(as in I'm ready to race)

 

[amarynceos]

Woke up late, about to fire up the PS3. Maybe something will come together, maybe not.

Edit: room's up.

 

[watermelon punch]

Whoo 👍

 

[tarnheld]

Hey great races! Amazed about the Firebird at Apricot Hill, was feeling like

 

[John Wells]

If only he looked like that now...

 

[terrordog1490]

Forgot we ran the Firebird. It's a heck of a car. Maybe I'll catch some races with you guys tomorrow.

 

[watermelon punch]

That firebird race (me & tarnheld) was pretty cool.
Great races overall Wednesday.

Maybe except for my very silly nutty stunts on the nurb w/ the performance coupes.
That was as insane as @amarynceos promised it would be.

It's time to wake up from hibernation, today is

Makeshift Shuffle Track Day - Community Edition™
Today 19:30UTC

No track suggestions in my mail, so we are going crazy and do the Rabbit Hop.

Bring any cars you own, car lists are chosen by the racers in the lobby.
We'll work out any missing car problems in the room. 👍​

See you there!

Sorry for missing out posting results again, i blame a busy week and dwindling PS3 seat time. Expect them soon...

 

[tarnheld]

Sorry, i am late today, room will be up in a minute... is up! Sparse grid but fun races at Rabbit Hop! Be sure to rate the track, @watermelon punch will appreciate it! 👍

 

[watermelon punch]

You really raced at Rabbit Hop?
Sorry I missed the entertainment!

 

[terrordog1490]

Well, now you can sorta enjoy one of our races from yesterday here

By the way, awesome track and everything, but wouldn't "Bunny Hop" sound better? I mean, I know it's not important, but it was literally the first thing I thought when I downloaded your track.

 

[watermelon punch]

Wow thanks!! That's fantastic.
Such an exciting race. Lots of counter steering I noticed. Lots of thrills and spills


I noticed the Miata took the west ear jump pretty well actually.
(Meaning, unlike most cars, it didn't thump the snoot down into the concrete. haha)

And yeah, actually I started making another track first, which was called Bunny Hop. So then this one got named Rabbit Hop. But I actually finished this track, but not the other. (The other was an upright rabbit, btw.)


Anyway there will be Sunday racing!!
I haven't got the itinerary to post yet, but WE WILL RACE. 👍

 

[John Wells]

Rabbit Hop.

Best Car in the World

@JockeP22

It was the first car I ever drove in real life.
My granddad had a dark red one with automatic transmission
and I practised with that car before taking my drivers license.

Life continues to be busy, in the process of prepping for a move right now. So, no racing today (obviously, duh ).

I would like to do some races next Wednesday, if possible. It might be the last time I'm able to host (or even race) an MMS event, as the internet is different out at the farm -- same ISP, good speed and bandwidth, but there's no land line (wireless broadband) so I'm concerned about potential latency issues that might kill my online racing.

I'd like to run some of my favourite cars and tracks, maybe not limited to MMS cars. I know I at least want to do this:

I'm out of town anyways, so no racing for me until Friday.

I wish you all the best with your plans, hope it'll work out fine, maybe GT6 wise too... Anyways, the Midget @ Tsukuba battle would be great, i hope that PD adds customizable noboris until then!

Hey Hey Hey, I'm back! That's the good news, the bad news is that due to my new job and time zones I'll probably only be able to make Sunday races. It'll be good to get back on the track, see you Sunday, Sunday, Sunday!!!!!

I'm back for racing today, and hope we see attendance go though the roof with the

Makeshift Shuffle Track Day - Community Edition™
Today 19:30UTC

Today's track is recommended by @Zolon32: Bongo's Very Tricky Hillclimb.

Bring any cars lists you own, car lists are chosen by the racers in the lobby.
We'll work out any missing car problems in the room. 👍​

See you there!

 

[Zolon32]

Bongo's Very Tricky Hillclimb.

Holy moly Tarn! How can I join. If I have to shoot the wife I'm quite prepared to do it. (This thread can't be used in evidence can it?)

Cheers, Zo.

Holy moly Tarn! How can I join. If I have to shoot the wife I'm quite prepared to do it. (This thread can't be used in evidence can it?)

Just join the Makeshift Shuffle club, ID: 1026878. I'll open a room in the lobby 15min before the races.
Normally we ask the racers to buy all cars of some car lists (described in the first post) but you can come unprepared too, and we'll work things out in the race room, so you can buy and change oil of the next assigned car quickly before the race if you don't have it. We do 5 races of approx. 10 min each, starting off with a one-make race and then doing some shuffle races where you get a car from a list based on the position in the last race. You can join at any time, it'll be fun! 👍

Bongo's Very Tricky Hillclimb

Seems like what I typically expect from most custom tracks lately: sharp elevation changes mid-corner that make you second-guess your line and brake points every time. Should be fun.

 

[tarnheld]

I'd suggest using the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 '85 from the Legends list for the first race, quite fitting for a "Hillclimb". Please make sure to purchase that if you plan to attend, and don't forget the oil change. 👍
