UN-OFFICIAL REVIEW

Since, due to the new matchmaking MP system, there seem to be a lot of confusion regarding which car is the best to use. So I did a bit of research from my side and tested a few OP and non-OP cars. This at the cost my rating which nosedived from 1872 to 1440.

These are just my observations based on my races and may differ. I hope the new players benefit from this. All races were triple boosted. What I have experienced is that risking points results in worst matchmaking. For example my rezvani faced a lot of AIEs and Vulcans when I risked points. When I saved points I was paired with fellow rezvani’s, SINs, MP4-25 and Hommages. I would rather face them than the AIEs and Vulcans.

My OP MP-tuned cars :

I have a Camaro 1487, SIN 1682, AHGT  1690, Vulcan 1679 and Rezvani  1696. The major culprit in losing my rating was the Camaro. Most of the times I was paired with the Mp4-8 and ARSE and got smoked. Only once I got to race in Tokyo 1 lap and there I beat the ARSE but lost to MP4-8 by around 5 sec. So officially RIP Camaro.

Even my favourite SIN is rendered useless. Those fucking skiddy carrots from 1697-1740 swarmed my races. They all were around 15-20 Kmph faster. In one of those races I was paired with 6 X2s, 1 max-pro homage and then poor me. One of my fav MP cars will no longer be my fav from now. Sad.

With AHGT and Vulcan, matchmaking was kind. I faced a lot of ARSE and one max-proed Camaro. Did not face a single max-pro AIE. But the races were extremely close separated by 1-4 sec from position 2 to last. IMO, if u don’t own a X2 or AIE, the best way to counter this new MP system is to max-pro the AHGT or Vulcan.

Rezvani could possibly be the new MP-king. Due to its fast acceleration, a very good tunning kit bonus and no fake speed, this might be the new go-to car. I faced a lot of AIEs, hommages, ARSE, fellow Rezvani and very few X2. I do not have those alien skills to tackle the AIEs but with decent skills all other cars would be no problem at all. But max-pro Rezvani is not a good idea. As you will face a lot of max-pro Vulcans and AIE. Surprisingly, one of my friends rezvani at 0500 5050 faced worst matchmaking than my rezvani.

POSSIBLE GOOD CHOICES FOR MP

Some of the cars which I tested are as follows:

Donkey: A triple boosted Donkey with maxed out acceleration and nitro can be DEADLY. The only other car that can fight Donkey is the Atom. In short tracks with 1 lap, Donkey is ubeatable. I was able to beat BWM SE and a 959.

Atom: Possibly the new KING of MP. I do not own it but I could not beat it with my Donkey, 959, RR and Dezir. Its acceleration and nitro efficiency is scary. Its total speed is also very decent.

Porsche 959: My 959 is at 0505 5505 and it is extremely competitive. I lost only to Atom and once to ARSE at around 900. But it is possible to beat ARSE at lower ranks. Its amazing nitro efficiency is the key to winning races so ET is recommended.

RR Evoque: My Evoque is at 1087 and is quite decent but only on 2 laps. In 2 lap race, even if you are knocked down due to its snail like acceleration you can catch the other cars except for 959 and Atom. But most of my competitors were survolts and they were easy preys. But if you are paired with 959 on 1 lap then you got no chance. The 959 will steam roll over you. However, Evoque between  750-950 receives excellent matchmaking than at 1087. In one of the worst matchmaking, my evoque was paired with a stock Vulcan and I was like WTF!!!! Got battered.

MP4-8: I do not own any of the Mclaren’s but this is possibly one of the best cars for the new MP system.

330-P4: I was surprised by its good performance. My 330 P4 at 0505 2020 beat ARSE at around 11XX and BWM M2 SE at around 125X. Not bad at all.

ED Torq: At stock. Was paired with a lot of 959, Donkeys, Dezirs and Survolts. Except for 959, others were not a problem.

Peuget SR1: Extremely competitive. I tried at 5005 0000 and was able to beat 959 at around 11XX.

AMG-GT3: It is the only car by which I could beat a MP4-8 on 2 laps in Nevada. My tuning was max 0505 and elite 0306. It is extremely good.

Trion: My maxed out trion beat a Vulcan. Yes you read it right. This can be a good car on 1-lap races but got no chance against AIEs. However, I received horrible matchmaking with this in some of my races. A 1806 Vulcan plus some AIEs in 18XX and the Rezvani’s

Silver Lightning: My tuning was 5505 0000 at 1621. The matchmaking paired me with Camaros 1400-1450, Rezvani above 1650 and MP4-8. Races were close and with better skilled driver than me could have beaten the Rezvani’s

After the new MP system, the worst cars in the game are probably the Tuatara and Koenisegg’s. My Sagaris 1390 walloped  both of them.

I am loving this new MP system and would like to know reviews from fellow gamers. This has allowed me to enjoy all those cars again which I rarely played. I hope this new MP system is here to stay.

It will be really interesting to see where the new cars such as 720S, Alfieri, i30 and Carrera Gt stand. Alfieri will surely be a game changer.
