We've ridden a few times now (and sometimes in separate cars through the single rider queue) and always "won" the race. Is the ride designed so that it always appears that your car wins from inside the vehicles or are we just extremely good at racing preprogrammed, automatically-controlled slot cars?

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
No. I've been in a car that clearly came in second. I got a comment that said something like "everyone's a winner," but it was clearly a consolation comment.http://micechat.com/forums/disneylan...oto-heavy.html

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
I've won most of the time but I have gotten second place for time to time. If you do place second, Doc tells you a line like "great race, better luck next time" or something like that, and the ride photo is just a generic RSR logo as opposed to the champion's logo."Hello folks, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railroad..."

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
Every race has a clear winner, and whoever is first going into the tunnel stays in front through the finish...up until then it doesn't matter who is leadingFollow me on Instagram: @disneylovingnurse :ap:Comment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
In my experience, the car on the right side of the track is the winner. I have ridden both sides of the track and the only time I lost was when I was in the car on the left side when I went through the tire shop. All the other times I won and was on the right side and went through the paint shop.Comment

You were just lucky, we've ridden it twice on the right side and only one once.Originally posted by DrFink View PostComment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
I've ridden both sides of the track multiple times. I have yet to win a race. I'm cursed, or something.
Given that the track is straight at the finish line, there's no way to make it look like both won from inside the vehicle. There will clearly be one in front, and one behind.

I do believe you are mistaken. I believe that an early lead = finishing loss.Originally posted by CassiefRN View PostComment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
I haven't kept track, but I know that I've lost a lot more then I've won. If I had to guess I'd say my record is something like 2 - 10. Luck of the draw I guess, just like how I seem to get the same scenes over and over again on Star Tours.Disneyland Cast Member

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
Given that everyone else here has a winning record (myself included), someone somewhere has to be coming in second all the time. Sorry, but it appears that's you! hahaOriginally posted by mycroft16 View PostComment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
That funny. We kept winning with tires and never with paint, so thought definitely when you get tires you win! We got a little too confident each time we went through the tire shop - and then we ended up losing! After that it seemed to vary, sometimes tires won, sometimes paint. I don't know if there is any pattern or percentage, but would guess it's pretty random.Originally posted by DrFink View PostComment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
Okay no lie, I was at the parks yesterday and because I got there early, I was able to do RSR a whopping five times (thank you single rider and FastPass!)
4/5 times, the car was green.
4/5 times I went through Ramone's shop.
5/5 times I won.
Much like Star Tours, this ride is so random that sometimes it isn't.Comment

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
This is why the displays at Casinos of the results of the last few games (roulette particularly) are so hilarious. Previous outcomes have no bearing on the current game. It could seriously come up heads 99 times in a row... but the current toss of a coin does not depend on anything that has already happened. Same with RSR. It makes no difference what happened before, only the current ride, and each option has the same chance of happening. 50/50. Left or right to win. Over a long enough time span/large enough sample size, the odds converge to 50/50. Over short time scales and small sample sizes they may look way off.

Re: Does every car win at Radiator Springs?
On RSR it's a coin toss.
On a real race-track proper tires for today's conditions, stagger and suspension dial-in, engine setup, and the like are going to bring you the win.
A fancy paint job only makes you feel better when you weren't properly prepared and get whooped.
