  2025 Season Wrap-up

  Hello and welcome to a New Year, on the only planet in the known universe where you can play Stunts! We feel pretty lucky in this branch of the galaxy. Plus there's an awesome community to keep the smell of burnt tires alive!

  Before we start with the new season, let's take a moment to recap the 2025 season!

  ZakStunts championship

  After a year on break Argammon returns to the track with a full tank: nine victories, never stepping off the podium for the whole season. His is the trophy this year, but he has already announced he will take a step back in 2026. Who will rise to the top? Well, let me tell you about a hot contender: MiDiaN returned to the competition after two decades, speeding out of the Amateur League to become the 25th ZakStunts race winner at the end of summer. He closes in second place with a really, really strong season. In third position (but pretty close) a more relaxed Duplode, temporarily content of his 2024 title.

  At the top of the Amateur Scoreboard sits a recent arrival, HerrNove, who came to the community bringing reverse-engineering gifts, and stayed for the battle. And what battle! HerrNove who 8 of the 12 amateur races, reaching the global top-6 almost as many times. He was also one of the most active Podium Time contenders, bringing home 4.5 bonus points, ahead of KyLiE and Alan Rotoi. With his victory and sixth place on the global scoreboard, HerrNove graduates from Amateur League! 🎉

  I could write a lot about the second step of the Amateur podium too, but Mortimer McMire is still MIA after an unfortunate attempt to game the system. The doors are still open, but the rules are there to give us a fair and entertaining competition. In third place, just one point ahead of his direct competitor, it's Cas who comes ahead of the heated fight with Shoegazing Leo and afullo.

  Sum together the right numbers, and we get the final team results: Rolling Stunts tops the scoreboard with an imperfect attendance, but a really strong score, a whopping 30 points ahead of DoublePlusSpeed. Cork's Crew closes the season in third position, in part penalised by Mortimer's disqualification.

  Community

  Exciting times continue in the Stuntssphere, with several competitions active in the same year. Of note are Alain's return to competitive Stunts racing, a new season of France Stunts after 18 years, and HerrNove's work, which rapidly evolved from an extended line-of-sight demo to the new SuperSight build.

  ---

  I'm sure there's more I've forgotten, as my own 2025 was pretty stuffed with non-Stunts priorities, but here we are ready to start 2026 with a new ZakStunts season, and a thousand more events are already lined up!

  Join us this year as well, and remember to fasten your seatbelt!

  The season is on — and so is PTB!

  The 2025 season started with ZCT282, a race that had a bit of everything: a cornucopia of paths, a lot of replays, room for this year's custom cars to shine, strong performances from new and returning racers, and a late, late surge of Acura laps stealing the show. The intense activity has continued into ZCT283, further consolidating an excellent start to the season!

  This season has introduced the Position Time Bonus (PTB) system. Staying in the fight for top 6 positions can already bring you bonus points! We are working on fully integrating PTB into the site, so that features such as live charts with the hour totals (similar to those of the old LTB system) will be available. Meanwhile, you can follow your PTB progress using this page, which will be updated every few days with the current situation in the ongoing race.

  P.S.: Three slots are still available in the guest tracks calendar, including that of the next race starting in March. Let us know if you'd like to claim any of them!
