  • Duplode
    Also, fast driving is on its own very useful in a team, as it helps setting a reference and a baseline on what's possible. If teammates then chime in with cool shortcut ideas on the top of that, well, that's just good teamwork Smiley
  • Ryoma
    Disapointed...I did 1'43.05 with the 962 with a big penalty

    By the way, a mildly belated welcome to @Mortimer! I just noticed the country flag, and I have to welcome a fellow Dutchy.

    Don't know if another language but English is allowed here. But I guess one word isn't going to be that big of a deal. Bedankt (thanks) @overdrijf!
  • Overdrijf
    O je mag best een beetje Nederlandsen hoor. Mogeschien kan je zelfs een paar nieuwe woorden verzinselen, zodat iedereen die Google Translate gebruikselt in de war raakt. (evil smiley) (EDIT: wow, Google Translate actually got them all basically perfectly. I'm kind of impressed.)

  • Marco
    What's the amateur league ?
  • Mortimer McMire
    @Marco It's a league where new players/participants can compete against each other (besides also being included in the main ranking). Since I'm only participating on Zak Stunts for under a month, I hope I explained it correctly. So if any of the more experienced players want to contribute or correct me feel free to do so ;-)
  • Alan Rotoi
    Perfect @Mortimer exactly like that.😀
  • Overdrijf
    You may remember the newbie league @Marco? We changed the promotion criteria. A driver is no longer automatically a pro if they've been around for long enough. For someone of your skill level it doesn't change anything.
  • Overdrijf
    Calling it now by the way: Doubleplusspeed takes the podium with the Indy.
  • Duplode
    Live results in two hours at the chat room!

Mar 10

  • Duplode
    Quiet replays published!
  • Overdrijf
    Congratulations Duplode and Alan! But honestly the result that most stands out here to me is @Mark nailing it with automatic gears. Between several jumps and a few places where you had to brake quite hard this was a track with a pretty serious manual advantage. At this rate your days in the amateur league are numbered.
  • Mark Nailwood
    Thank you, @Overdrijf! Yeah, I really invested some time optimizing the critical parts of this track, according to my driving skills. I added "driving with automatic gears" to my expertise in the profile. I think I could get good results in an "auto gear" league. Smiley Let's see how Mark Nailwood will *nail* it in the next race. Wink Having already watched the replays of the podium racers, I must say that I really like your sliding-out-of-the-corkscrew-flying-into-the-curve trick at 1:25. Well, @Duplode achieved an even more sophisticated version of this trick at 1:20, and his incredible jumps at the bridges are matching perfectly to a winner's replay. Also @Alan's alternative path starting at 1:19 is really worth watching.
  • Duplode
    Results confirmed! Congratulations to @AlanRotoi and @Overdrijf! And also to @MarkNailwood (excellent driving indeed!), @Spoonboy and @Ryoma! The new track will be up in a few hours, in the European morning.
  • Duplode
    This was a really good race for Cork's Crew, by the way! Thanks @Overdrijf and @Spoonboy -- way to go, team! Cheesy
  • Duplode
    And here is the new track: ZCT272, Spiral Architect. Hope you'll enjoy it! Smiley
  • Ryoma
    It's a woman reproductive organ? Oo
  • Mortimer McMire
    @duplode Just downloaded the new track. Seems like a cool track with lots of new thing for me to learn. And before I forget, congratulations on your win in the last race!
  • Spoonboy
    Congratulations to everyone! There were many different cars with successful laps and I love the alternative lines from @alan and @Ryoma. Working in a team really pushed me to put everything into my laps. This track demanded fine attention to detail. Once the tricks needed were clear, perfecting gear shifts made a big difference (apart from in @Mark Nailwood's killer auto lap!). In Cork's Crew, we lived up to our name! I was glad to get the cork jump to work in my Carrera lap. My teammates @Overdrijf and @Duplode achieved beautiful laps. @Duplode's wraparound bridge cut was the icing on the cake. @Mortimer McMire congrats on your first race! It was great to see how you improved your laps. I am still learning new skills with every race. In a few tracks' time, you will be amazed at what you can do.
  • Spoonboy
    Looks like we're in for a fun month Wink
    Lola 1:35.18 A
  • Overdrijf
    O wow, Alan's lines were fun! More loopjumps than a crashing rollercoaster! (I guess it was kind of inevitable that Cork's crew would be looking for the cork-line instead.) I can see what he was thinking at the jumping bridge section: if you straighten your car out one jump earlier you get to take more speed into the banked section. In the loops and corks section my initial plan was to use the second last corkscrew to jump to the right and from there use the final loopjump, it was Spoonboy's beautiful cork to cork jump in a Carrera replay he hid for strategic reasons that convinced me to drop that line of thinking when I couldn't get it to work. (My plan for the jumping bridge section was what Duplode ended up doing, but I had a hard time trying that, and a very smooth time trying a more normal line, so that's what I ended up going with.)
  • Overdrijf
    Shall we have another go at trying to get every car on the board ones before anyone doubles up? Cheesy

  • Alan Rotoi
    Thanks @Overdrijf yes I managed to make a quadraloop shortcut. Quiet unusual but the tracks circumstances let this kind of trick possible. My car was like Tarzan jumping from tree to tree Cheesy Maybe this path was faster with Stratos but I didn't have the time to try.

    Congratulations @Duplude, @AlanRotoi and @Overdrijf!! Those were incredible tricks in the replays... Congratulations @MarkNailwood, @Spoonboy and @Ryoma!!!
  • Duplode
    BTW @Ryoma, I've watched your P962 replay from the past race -- it was good fun! Smiley
  • Ryoma
    @Duplode yes it's the reason why I upload this replay. Without the penalty, I would won the race lol
