• First of all allow me a personal announcement: our son, Barnabás was born today at 01:42. Mother and son are both feeling well.
  
  But this is not the right place for this, so lets turn back to Stunts. ZCT97 finished with average racer activity and dominated by the Lancia.
  However, it was a really interesting race for two reasons: After Paradisio secured the +2 LTB points an intense battle started between three!!! racers for the remaining +1 point. Duplode beat Friker and CTG by some hours, and secured the point in the end.
  CTG did not win the LTB, but won the track, breaking Duplode's streak. Congratulations. That means 12 points for him this month.
  Duplode came second + earned 1 LTB point, which also totals to 12. And Paradisio finished third, earned 10 points +2 for LTB, also totaling up to 12 points. So we can conclude a triple draw this month.
  ZCT98 is called Jazz, and it is designedby the best track designer of the world (quoting myself :)) - JTK. The car percentages bonuses are starting to run wild - the -55 points for the Lancia prove this. So there are a handful of potential cars for this track - hopefully shaking up the scoreboard of August.
  Oh, and did I already mention, that the current seasonal rankings are: Duplode 73pts, CTG 72pts. Wow! It's time to fasten the seatbelt and hit the track!

  Is the LM002 really better than the Jaguar? I'm still switching computers, so no replays yet. And I'm on Vista now, so maybe no replays ever? Well somehow someday cause I'm not a ceremonial quitter, but situation unclear now. Oh, and I will be away for two weeks. Bye!
• SuperBrian
  I think the LM002 is a bit better than Audi, eventhough I only drove that twice. I haven't tried the Jaguar yet..
• Duplode
  As for BJ's question, I'm unsure... LM002 always has the problem of too little margin for improvement, but on a track with so few straights that might not be too much of a concern. The track is rather complex for early decisions though...
• SuperBrian
  Jaguar testlap.

• CTG
  Brian's auto trm lap is good!
• CTG
  But manual gears are slightly better!
• SuperBrian
  Welcome to the scoreboard teammate.
• CTG
  Jaguar still has some hidden power.
• Overdrijf
  Hé, I'm not even last. That's a relief.
• CTG
  But you are last but one. Hurry up!
• CTG
  With your IMSA skills, 57 secs is still available. Or even better.

  It will have to wait a week. I have to go sit on my lazy bum watching others be active in a forest for a while.

Aug 19

• Duplode
  As far as our awareness goes, the second-to-last attempt at having a "Brazilian" Stunts Championship. The season was never finished...
• Krys TOFF
  Hi all. 1st, felicitations to Zak's family for the nice baby. 2nd hello guys, it seems I finally have some time to get back to "life". 3rd, to answer Friker : it was the 2nd season of Stunts Brazil managed by Dark Chaser, but he had to leave for 2 weeks for his job... And never came back to the community. Seasons were 6 tracks each. 1st season took place in 2004, won by Dark Chaser before Gutix and AbuRaf (aka Baronetti in the scoreboard). I ended 4th a few points behind AbuRaf. Only 4 racers were active on Stunts Brazil anyway : the 4 mentionned above.
• Krys TOFF
  1st thing I'll do now : race SCR before deadline, then race ZS, then re-start FTT. ^_^
• Krys TOFF
  Correction : 1st season of Stunts Brasil lasted only 3 tracks, 2nd one was expected to last 6 tracks but original 5th track was cancelled and then the 6th track became the official 5th one, but as said before this 5th race and the 2nd season were never officially finished.
• Duplode
  Yay, Krys is back! ^_^

Aug 20

• Zak McKracken
  welcome back Krys! We missed you!
• Ayrton
  Hi boys, thanks for the greetings!! And congratulations to Zak´s family, i expect to see Barnabás soon in the tracks ;-). Question; the guy that signed "Roy" is the champion of the first season ? :-o Greetings to all racers ...
• Ayrton
  And push AbuRaf, push ;-)
• Ayrton
  And push AbuRaf, push ;-)
• CTG
  Seems like we have an "everybody appears" comedy. And yes, he says he's that Roy.

Aug 22

• Overdrijf
  It's not fair, all these people returning, now I'll have to work to be the best racer in my country.
• Reiger
  Another try... I don't understand those fast times!! Must overlooked a shortcut or something... ;-) Have fun racing!

Aug 23

• Duplode
  Now that's what I call minimal gap
• SuperBrian
  Auto-gears are not that bad on this track..
• CTG
  Overdrijf: move to China, you will be surely the best racer of a huge country! I don't feel proud being the best RH racer of Hungary - there are no real opponents here. (heavy insult against Akoss Poo )
• CTG
  Back to this crappy car... well... I hope Jaguar will surpass this time.
• Paradisio
  Let's go back to the leading position
• CTG
  Paradisio le van fingva.

• Chulk
  Overdrijf: Try being the best driver in Argentina... specially when Ayrton is around Mission: Impossible
• Friker
  who is Reiger? & is he a newbie? probably i will have no better time than this one due lack of time
• SuperBrian
  Friker: As I understand Reiger is Roy Wiegerink (Zakstuntswinner 2001, 3rd 2002) + never raced since, so sort of newbie? Chulk: It's pretty easy to be the best dane, until BJ appears once in a while. I wonder how he must have felt when I did not drive.
• Zak McKracken
  Reiger (Roy) is of course not a newbie I just forgot to correct his status
• Reiger
  1 final try i think! I'm really curious about the winning replay. Can't wait to see where i lost so much time!

Aug 25

• Overdrijf
  I was really looking forward to getting that JAG out and getting some racing done, but it seems the universe has decided it cannot be, or at least my laptop has. The thing died on me yesterday. So that wraps it up for me this month. I hope my teammates have more luck...

  Happy Birthday, Paleke...!!! Feliz Cumpleaños, Pablito...!!!

  I was going to race a bit today, but too little sleep last night and too much toying with arc lamps this morning left me with some annoying eye soreness...

Aug 29

• Zak McKracken
  speaking about eye soreness, I have the same since a couple of days because of allergy. it sucks

• Duplode
  Happy birthday, Chulk and vamolo!
• Duplode
  (Oh yes, I realize I should congratulate you only three hours from now under our timezone, but anyway )
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Vamologocomisso...!!! FELIZ CUMPLE, CHULK...!!!
• Overdrijf
  Guess who found a stunts-compatible computer? Oké, so I'm racing without sound and the enter doesn't work too well, but it's good enough...
• Overdrijf
  At least Friker will be motivated to overtake me and dstien...
• Reiger
  One day left
• Ayrton
  Feliz cumpleaños Chulk y vamologo!! que la pasen bien !!

• August seemed to be the month of the Lamborghini LM002. It almost was. Bu then, Duplode took out his Jaguar from the garage, and hammered down on JTK's track, leaving nothing for the others, but dust - as he also secured the +2 LTB.
  Paradisio came second, with a unique shortcut, but he missed the +1 LTB by a very little margin - which was claimed by CTG, finishing on the third place.
  Barely finished. Because SuperbRian was closely up his neck, doing wonders with his auto transmission jeep, and missing his first ZakStunts medal only by 0.05 seconds. Push a little bit more next time, Brian!
  I'd like to also note out finisher on the 5th place - who is noone else, but the champion of 2001, Roy, under a new nickname. I must say this is a pretty impressive result after such a long break, so, top drivers, better look out for Roy!
  That was ZCT98. And now on to ZCT99, only one step from the magical number...
  But let's still focus on 99 for a month. :) The track is made by me, and it's called The Orb. It is supposed to be a faster track, and hopefully it is indeed.
  Four cars top the coefficient chart within a four percent margin, so I dare not even guess which one to use. I'll leave it up to you!
  The end of the season is closing in, so you all should gather valuable points while you still can...
  Fasten your seatbelt, and see you on the scoreboard!
• Friker
  Friker's motivation is to beat Zak
• Zak McKracken
  yes, Friker needs those points badly
• Friker
  yes youre right still - in our universe: 4 is more then 0.1

  Like, are quiet days getting out of fashion?

• Duplode
  Thanks Roy! And mind you, this was a really nice start after such a belated comeback - your motivation is uplifting
• Reiger
  Thanks, top 5 great Hope i can keep this up. I'm really curious about the next track
• Zak McKracken
  update done, track available
• Paradisio
  Ouch, Duplode took a nice turn with Jaguar. No surprise I was slower with that car compared to hummer. And I see my rpl wasn't perfect, I missed some time on turns and loop cut. Well, it still wouldn't be enough to win. Nice work, Duplode
• dstien
  Excelsior!
• Paradisio
  Test lap on new track. Just for fun
• SuperBrian
  Nice replay Duplode and congratulations!
