May 1

• Ryoma
  @Erik Barros not so difficult finally lol
• GTAManRCR
  This is a tough lap time, with multiple trials. You have to be very precise, always land on the right direction of the road, on the appropriate pixel. If you do otherwise, you'll lose time
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, @Seeker1982! And wow, we're set for an interesting final week!
• Shorty
  Embarrassing
  1:19.45 A

• GTAManRCR
  It would be mind blowing to have a PS1 version
• GTAManRCR
  Even an NTSC version for America/Japan

May 3

• Erik Barros
  @Ryoma it was really hard, I spent a lot of time on some parts. @GTAMan15 was publishing its evolution, I preferred to publish the best time I could.
• GTAManRCR
  Thus I made a Stunts cover for PS1
• GTAManRCR
  I seriously like PS1 and PS2
• GTAManRCR
  They are the best game consoles besides PC

May 4

• Ryoma
  Where is the shortcut? I did only 1:40 with the carrera
• Ryoma
  Angel eyes for Delta :
• Friker
  @Ryoma Try to look at some public replays. Top right corner on scoreboard page has "All Results" link. You can download any public one.
• Ryoma
  Forget....it's the kind of track very interesting but spoiled by the shortucut
• GTAManRCR
  1st is where you jump over the elevated road, then you'll have to be quick at the corners. Make sure to land on the round part of hill or you'll get a 0:18 penalty time! Now, the tricky part is here. You'll have to maneuver your car on the RIGHT PIXEL so you can achieve a speedup. If you don't speed up, you'll crash on the bridge! Then, landing at the second bridge's corner is the best speedup you can achieve. Next, don't follow the road, but make sure to jump over the elevated road part, then make the car go straight. IT IS HARD but you'll get it. Then jump over the loop-de-loop, and that's it. You'll have to practice a lot
• GTAManRCR
  Use the Porsche Carrera, and you'll achieve a good lap time Ryoma
• GTAManRCR
  However @Ryoma you improved a lot!
• GTAManRCR
  @Friker I don't advise you to rely on public replays, as people are making better lap time after the public days on purpose, so nobody could see their driving
• Ryoma
  Thanks @gtaman15 but I have no time until saturday and this track make me vomit.....
• GTAManRCR
  Let's see what comes next. I'm waiting...
• GTAManRCR
  Also @Ryoma you have to use over-the-counter replay handling to achieve the result you want
• GTAManRCR
  Saturday will be a quiet day, which means you have to push further than now. You have the last hours from the end of scoreboard days. After it, you'll need to make a better lap time for the same result

May 5

• Stan 286XT
  GosH!!!! !!!
  1:23.47 A
• Ryoma
  @GTAMan15 and after tomorrow it's finished with this shitty track !!!! No sorry this kind of track is not for an amateur like me
• Argammon
  Losing replay submitted. Cheers!
  0:43.05
• Heretic
  I hate tracks where speed matters less than tricks, like this.
  1:03.00

May 6

• dreadnaut
  Interesting, to me it feels like a speed track, with a single trick at the end, with multiple solutions. I prefer that to track with an early, difficult and unavoidable trick.
  0:52.38
• Alan Rotoi
  Live update today? Did @KyLiE sent the new track?
• dreadnaut
  New track warming up, will go live tomorrow 👍
• Ryoma
  @Alan Rotoi I expect a better and more funny track....

May 7

• Duplode
  Quiet replays revealed!
• KyLiE
  Wow! I never thought that I'd be on the giving end of a power gear surprise!
• Friker
  Wow! Very nice replays top4! @Argammon & @KyLiE - Does that first-left-handside turn approach (go a bit to the right side of the sloped road block so you have better angle for the turn after jump) work also for other cars?
• KyLiE
  @Friker, unfortunately I can't say because I didn't try it with any other cars.
• Duplode
  @Friker I think it might save a small handful of tenths at best with Carrera, and maybe not even that with Countach. It's only decisive with the Vette, as every extra mph matters for the sake of reaching PG.
• dreadnaut
  Scoreboard confirmed, congratulations to @Argammon, @KyLiE and @Duplode!
• dreadnaut
  And the new track is ready, thank you @KyLiE!
• Alan Rotoi
  Congratulations guys!! Thank you @dreadnaut for uploading in the morning
• Argammon
  Thanks for the congratulations. This was a great race for rolling stunts. Btw, my score in the Season's scoreboard seems to be incorrect. 12+12+11+11+4 = 50 and not 49...
• Argammon
  It fixed itself.
• Alan Rotoi
  I fixed it
  1:31.36
• Ryoma
  Oh non again a stupid corkscrew....
• Ryoma
  Sorry guys, I know you passed a long time on yours tracks but since the beginning of the year it's tricky tracks on tricky tracks. I know that you love it because you are the best but I think you forget some amateurs. It's not funny to have track when I crashed at every element or lost big time because I have not your time and skill...
• Alan Rotoi
  You can skip the corkscrew Anyway you have a point there but hard to solve it. Pro racer's laps always will be frightening. The good thing of ZakStunts is that you have 10 day with public replays so you can take a look of them now.
• Ryoma
  @Alan maybe but without gain.....concerning the replay, last race proved that it was useless
  1:40.48
• Ryoma
  Since the beginning of year, I modified some track to make them more easy for amateur. And maybe, I will made an amateur championship with these track...but time is missing.
  1:51.75
• Argammon
  @Ryoma: The February track was a lot easier, but then the pros like Alanrotoi and Friker were upset. It seems it is very difficult to make a track that is pleasing to everyone.
• Alan Rotoi
  @Ryoma if you manage a competition with your cars I'll race there!
• Ryoma
  @Argammon you spoke about your track? I gave it 4 stars. @Alan I said an amateur competition so without you sorry or with a big big big handicap lol. Neitherless I repeat that I don't want to see my cars in competition...I'm still upset about your bad joke with my Stratos !
• Ryoma
  Challenger with Angel Eyes. It's not my car so I keep it for myself.
• Duplode
  @Ryoma You talk about being upset, but have you ever considered that it is actually quite offensive for you to accuse us over and over again of ill will and sabotaging your work, given how much the community has supported and encouraged it over the years? While I can't tell you how you should feel, I think you'd find things more enjoyable if you stopped assuming the deck is stacked against you.
• Daniel3D
  September first last year I wrote this, and I feel compelled to say it again. @Ryoma, I thought long about writing this, Because (although I mean well) you may not like it if you are unaware. Someone closer to you should have said it sooner. If you honestly feel this way, then you show traits that we as a community cannot facilitate you in. We can accept you as you are, and we do respect and appreciate you, but we will not bend over backwards to make you feel better.
• dreadnaut
  I think avoiding the corkscrew completely is the fastest route this time
• Ryoma
  @Duplode sorry you are right, I have a stubborn grudge...but when somebody talk of using my car in a championship, I have got some alerts lol... @Daniel3D sorry but we had a discussion here and remember you are not innocent (and i'm not too) by criticize the performance of all cars. I don't want to redo the debate. The same for @Duplode So sorry, but the scar is fresh. @all recognize that the tracks become harder. It's the second track where I've got no scoreboard... That means I abuse of RH. I reach maybe my glass roof. And I have really no time to depend 3 jours on one corner. I take very very delay for my future car. @dreadnaut how Using the second track ?
• Daniel3D
  @ryoma I remember the discussion well. But I am still hurt by your complaints, because I don't believe we (as a community) have done anything to deserve them. Things don't always work out as planned, but that doesn't mean there was ill will. About the tracks. It's not that the tracks are getting harder, half the tracks this season were existing ones that date decades back. But with new and returning strong players the competition has become fiercer, that is what you experience I think. I have trouble with this RH competition myself, that's why I am currently hosting a NoRH race and next week ill start a new CCC race. Both have easier tracks (I set a few rules for track builders) to make it hopefully more fun and less stressful than Zakstunts.

May 8

• dreadnaut
  @Ryoma You can jump left or right from the first ramp, and cut the cork. Non sure which side will be faster, might depend on the car.
• Overdrijf
  You can download people's replays to see how they do it, or rewatch the last academy episode for some options.
• Stan 286XT
  COOL.TRK!!!!!!!
• Daniel3D
  NoRH quiet times will be revealed today at 2 PM my time. (12:00 UTC) https://ntt.mystunts.net/
• Friker
  @Ryoma how would it help for your standings if tracks were easier? Do you think you can do better then top3/top6/topX on easier tracks? Look at split times for ZCT260 from the start to the highway boost for example. For top results you should also spend hours for optimizing easier parts not only surviving hard parts.
• Friker
  :-/ This car..
  1:28.14 A
• Erik Barros
  @Friker are you feeling better? On the last track I spent a lot of time to get my time.
• Daniel3D
  Race is over. Times are published. Congratulations Argammon with another victory. Very closely followed by Duplode and KyLiE. It was a strong race. Next up will be another Custom Car Championship race with a special lineup of the Super7, ford sierra and Nissan skyline. Three different takes on mid-speed sports cars.
• GTAManRCR
  A track, where a racecar has an advantage?
• Ryoma
  @gtaman15 yes and @cas is very quick with a race car

May 9

• Friker
  @Argammon are you using a controller or a keyboard as an input device? O.o Those turns.. Your steering wheel looks really steady. Can this steadiness be achieved by a controller (steering wheel/joystick)?
• Argammon
  @Friker, are you referring to my noRH lap or Zakstunts? I am using a mechanical gaming keyboard.
• Overdrijf
  I also got a mechanical gaming keyboard yesterday, from a sale in a budget supermarket. Watch out for skyrocketing times! Or, wait, I guess, submarine sinking times, as they should go down?
• Alan Rotoi
  I use the cheapest office keyboard and made in China.
• Alan Rotoi
  Mercedes has to win a race someday. Come on, it's your second chance!

  I mean third time
• Stan 286XT
  ztc262.png is better 600 DPI!!!!!
• GTAManRCR
  I'm using a SilverLine WK-627 wireless keyboard, which is cheap, but actually very durable. I've been using a battery in it for 3 months before it drained, and I have a 4 AAA battery pack made by Varta. About not making replays, now I play on my new PlayStation 1 console, which is an SCPH-9002 PAL model, but is chipped, so I can play any burnt games on it. Yes, even NTSC games
• GTAManRCR
  I had a PSOne (Slim) which is an SCPH-102C PAL model, but has a simple modchip in it, which isn't stealth, and not even patched the PAL region code in BIOS, so I had to use ImportPlayer disc in it to start NTSC games
• GTAManRCR
  I see McLaren Honda MP4/4 is the month's car. For me it's harder to drive than any other vehicles
• Alan Rotoi
  Yes, quiet hard to drive. At least it has no anti-PG.

• Duplode
  Happy birthday to @Igor and @KyLiE! Nice to see you on the track again, Igor. Oh, and that's some jump on the scoreboard by @MarkNailwood!
• Mark Nailwood
  Yeah @Duplode, it seems that I'm slowly getting used to some tricks that have been discovered by the community in the last two decades. And having just raced on the Indy in the competitions of the old days, a track where a fast car seems to have the best chances is also interesting for me. Well, it's nice to see me in the top 3, at least for some time, but it will not stay like this until the end of this race.
• Erik Barros
  Happy birthday @KyLiE and @Igor
• Alan Rotoi
  Happy Birthday @KyLiE and Igor!!!
• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday @KyLiE and @Igor

May 15

• KyLiE
  Thanks for the birthday wishes!
• Daniel3D
  The Custom Cars Competition is back on track. And it starts interesting to say the least with a very fast by Erik Barros with the Super 7. It seems that the car has good qualities that compensate for the lack of top speed, and it's like this track was made for the car 😄 Join the fun at https://ccc.mystunts.net/index.php
• Stan 286XT
  yesterday I drove a gokart and I wos fast like stunt!!!!!

May 16

• Overdrijf
  If you like karting and you like Stunts, and you wish they could be even more similar: have you tried the Superkart yet? I recommend a track with lots of corners.
• Alan Rotoi
  There is a small curvy secondary track in CCC besides the main track. That's for Superkart for sure

May 19

• Erik Barros
  calm before the storm
• Overdrijf
  Is there a definitive time for tomorrow's live race?
• dreadnaut
  Almost: 22:00 or 23:00, depending on our friends down under — https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?msg=89935

May 20

• Duplode
  Happy birthday, FinRok!

May 21

• Alan Rotoi
  Happy birthday @MarkLRivers!
• Argammon
  Ok, here is an Indy lap. It should be possible to do this a couple of seconds faster. ;-)
  1:22.08

May 24

• Friker
  @Argammon Could you post it as a public replay then.

May 25

• Overdrijf
  Hey, I'm going to be sending some people to the community soon. I can give them exactly one link. (And it's on paper rather than digital, so it has to be a simple link.) The obvious choice is Stunts.hu. The design is a little "time capsule", but it links the forum, the wiki and the active competitions. Is there a possibility of maybe getting the Youtube channel somewhere on there as well? And is there anything else worth considering?

May 27

• Daniel3D
  The CCC is almost at its final.. 27 hours to go. And the scoreboard is surprising still. How can it be possible that a fast track as this favours the slowest car. Truly another version of the Hare and the Hedgehog.. Do you want to know the secret of the Super 7? .... Well . One day left. I'll see you on the scoreboard.. https://ccc.mystunts.net

• Tijn
  I'm completely new to this but I find this scene incredibly cool, so here's my noob attempt.

• Overdrijf
  Hi Tijn! Nice, another Dutchie. Welcome to the scoreboard. On a personal note I also approve of your choice of car. (Insert grinning smiley.)
• Daniel3D
  The CCC will close soon. It was an interesting race, and I am curious to see the last 24 hours of quiet replays have done. Sometime tomorrow, I will reveal the hidden times. So be sure to check in. We will kick off a new race in the No Time Travel competition (also known as No Replay Handling) at https://ntt.mystunts.net/ . It will start directly after the CCC ends.. Have Fun. See you on the Scoreboard.
• KyLiE
  Welcome @Tijn!

May 30

• Alan Rotoi
  Welcome @Tijn! Another Dutch! I must remind you that the first championship winner was Roy Wiegerinck, who also is from the Netherlands. 🤔

• Erik Barros
  Welcome @Tijn!!!

  Hey @Spoonboy! Welcome to ZakStunts!
• Overdrijf
  Don't try to beat the spoon, it's impossible. Instead, try to realize the truth: there is no Spoonboy. But still welcome of course.
