Hi @Duplode my friend ! I didn't remember that we agree to fly over the elements, my memory is flying over as well
) . Talking today about something like that, I would consider it forbidden by the rule "do the elements as they are" and so slowdown and do not fly over them ("this is not Hazzard and you are not driving the General Lee" is a phrase inside my rules video
" . Then I Agree absolutely with you to have forbidden that.
Regarding the "agreement" to chose a car and a way (on a multiway circuit) . I perfectly understand your point, you play seriously RH and for fun GAR and that's absolutely fair and understandable. In my mind, in a GAR competition, everyone must have the same conditions regarding cars and way and only the driving skills change. RH includes the skill to be able to choose the best car, the best way and hide till the end but this was not imagined to be in a GAR challenge because of the "Gentlemen Agreement".
Anyway, it is right that here you play like you prefer and I absolutely respect also because I understand that is difficult to set offline rules. I checked your replay and plaied the same way. "Unfortunately", Victor sent me in another GAR competition
and, I crashed my fingers yesterday evening to try the circuits
. More to the point and it is also one of the main reason because I cannot compete too much, I have a little problem with my right arm nerves when I play too much. Probably there's something that close a little bit the ulnar nerve and part of my hand with the last 2 fingers feels tingling. They are 10 years , it comes and go. The life my friends, maybe i will ask to phisioterapist, swimming helps but.
On car/path choice for GAR: I don't think we need to formally set a choice for each race -- it's easier to just let people have fun on the scoreboard if they want to e.g. try different cars. If I join a GAR race later in the month, I usually do prefer to use the same car people are already using in their battles, but I also can imagine reasons for doing something else once in a while.
On tunnel roofs: landing and/or driving *on* tunnel roofs indeed has always been forbidden under GAR. What the rules allowed was jumping *over* a tunnel (or, indeed, a pipe) without landing. That, however, would every so often catch people by surprise when they read the full rules and stumbled upon a difference between "on" and "over" in this very specific case. After one of these conversations last year, we agreed in principle that it would make sense to tweak the rules to forbid jumping over tunnels and pipes, as it didn't seem worth the trouble to keep such an unexpected complication in the rules for something that almost never happens in GAR. It's just that, with everything else going on, I forgot to properly announce that outcome... 😅
Hello @Marco, great to see you on the track!
About the choice of path: they seemed fairly close to me when I last raced (a couple seconds one way or another in a nearly three minutes lap like this one), but the south path felt a bit easier to get right, so that's what I settled on at first. I'll give the north path a final go at some point before the deadline...
@Victor, it's not legal to jump on tunnel roof with GAR rules
@Victor, it's not legal to jump on tunnel roof with GAR rules
@Marco, why is it legal to jump over a tunnel according to GAR rules, but not over a pipe? What's so fundamentally different about a tunnel and a pipe?
@Marco, regarding your words: "Obviously, in a GAR race, is necessary to define the same car and the same way." I usually choose the car that, based on my testing results, is the fastest. Regarding the same car as the other participants, I think this should be specifically discussed at the very beginning of the race in a separate thread on the forum or here in the chat.
@Marco, I invite you to join another NoRH competition. https://dosreloaded.de/forum/thread/9104-4d-sports-driving-stunts-jahrescontest-2026/?pageNo=1 The rules in German are on the first page. They have their own "GAR" and absolutely no driving on grass (TWOOT rules).
@Marco, yes, I have replays for the southern part of the track too. I uploaded them a little earlier and they are worse in timing. You can find them on the replays page. https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT298/all
