  McLaren F1 enhanced. I will work on the long tail version
• Ryoma
  Back to 1997 with the FIA GT1 championship : McLaren F1 GTR Longtail vs Mercedes CLK GTR. Miss the Porsche 911 GT1...

  The last GT1 is on progress :
• Spoonboy
  @Ryoma Is it possible to move the dials or wheel? Obstructed speedos are not fun!

• Duplode
  The ZCT281 results have been confirmed! There was one change to the scoreboard: @Cas' lap had penalty time at the final loop jump; after adding it, @ShoegazingLeo has moved ahead of him.

  First news of the new year

  Feliz Ano Novo! Here is a pair of quick notes as we step into the new year.

  The ZCT281 results have been confirmed, with the replay pack, scoreboards and experience points being updated accordingly. It is worth it to take a moment and savour what will surely go down as one of the great ZakStunts races. Thanks to everyone who took part in it, and especially to Akoss Poo for the brilliant track design!

  The preparations for the 2025 season of ZakStunts are ongoing. In particular, this is a good time to make suggestions about the custom cars to be made available, as well as for finding teammates or starting a team (see the Forum threads Cars and rules for 2025 and Teams for 2025, respectively). It won't be long before we hit the racetrack again, so watch this space!

• Alan Rotoi
  Thank you @Duplode!!

  Midnight Desert Rally - Live Race video!
• Ryoma
  @Spoonboy very difficult because I wanted the tacho centered on the wheel...and I failed. If you look, it's the same configuration as 959 but with NFS dashboard.
• dreadnaut
  Have you peeked at the track list already? Otherwise, head to the forum to celebrate the Track of the Year 2024 ⭐

  @Spoonboy
• Spoonboy
  @Ryoma nice! Can't wait to test this
• Ryoma
  @Spoonboy you can it's on my mega but i'm not proud of the shape.

Jan 9

• Spoonboy
  It drives well! Out of these three, I probably prefer the Mercedes.
• Ryoma
  @Spoonboy thanks. I regret that the McLaren Longtail is too fast. I decreased the power from 680HP to 600HP. But the car is, in real, lighter than the other ones. I will maybe reduce the grip in order to have similar timelap. And then, the GT1 will be finished.

  The GT1 pack

• dreadnaut
  Keep your tyres warm: the new season almost ready to start 🎉 New cars and track will be up on Monday!

Jan 13

• Overdrijf
  New season is a go! Yeah!
• dreadnaut
  Waiting for @Argammon to confirm the car coefficients, give us a bit longer before submit replays!
• Argammon
  The coefficients are fine. I must admit I do not know the new cars well apart from the mercedes.
• dreadnaut
  And you really dislike the Indy Look at that red bar!

  Semi blind try, but the season has started 8) !
  1:47.10
• Argammon
  I think the track is most fun with fast cars. See my replay.
  1:20.54
• Mortimer McMire
  Damn it @argammon. Just when I thought I could have the fastest time for even just one second, you had to go and ruin it !
  1:32.23
• Spoonboy
  Looks like a fun track! Great to see Oxia on the scoreboard at last. We have some awesome cars to choose from this season!
  1:32.69
• Overdrijf
  In previous seasons DTM cars tended to see use (not necessarily a win) around 6-11% bonus. Of course that's not exactly the same field of competition, but 4% is good.
• Frieshansen
  Nice track!
  1:25.85
• Overdrijf
  A first "no looksie" to try and get my first taste of that sweet, sweet podium time bonus.

  Hello, the straBenversion of the 190 Evo 2 :
• Argammon
  Here is an Oxia replay for you @Spoonboy!

• Usrin
  BØFF!
  1:35.41
• dreadnaut
  Weekend finally! Look forward to teams appearing for the new season, and the PTB calculations display on the race page. And hello @Usrin, nice to see you back 👏

Jan 18

• Duplode
  Great to see you on the scoreboard, @Usrin! Love the looks of that Mercedes, @Ryoma. It could make a nice pair with the XM

  First drive with the diablo

• Stingray86
  There it is, my first replay in years! No tricks, no replay handling, just playing for the fun of the game
  1:51.17 A
• Alan Rotoi
  Welcome back @Stingray86! Yeah the restart could be a bit slow while you reach again your level and who knows you could become the next new race winner! 😉 The last new race winner was @Seeker1982 in zct225 (year 2020) and you were there!
• Duplode
  Welcome back, @Stingray86! There's a message for you on the Forum: https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?msg=96249
• Ryoma
  Thanks @Duplode. I'm not happy with the air vent of the 190...

Jan 21

• Stingray86
  Thanks Alan and Duplode! Its good to be back. I will gladly join a team, but would not want to bring team points down as I only plan to race GAR style with the Vette. I welcome others to race GAR style with the Vette and post your time here in the shoutbox! I will of course enjoy watching other racer's incredible non-GAR replays as well
• Argammon
  @Stingray86. Welcome back! I personally do not like GAR rules, but you may want to consider contacting Marco. As far as I recall, he does not have the energy for a Zakstunts race, but he is surely still an excellent GAR driver. Moreover, these are his rules after all.
• Argammon
  I've taken the same route as with the Oxia and spent the same amount of effort on both replays. It seems the Oxia is considerably faster than the Audi, even when taking into account the latters better bonus. It seems clear the Audi cannot challenge the Diablo on this track, but can the Oxia?
  1:20.93

Jan 22

• Duplode
  @Stingray86 Here goes a Vette GAR lap Though this track is about as far from OWOOT as it can get, going straight at both splits results in an entirely reasonable no-shortcuts ride!
  1:49.03
• Stingray86
  Great time @Duplode ! I will keep trying to see how fast the Vette GAR lap can be done

Jan 23

• Mortimer McMire
  Here's my first ever completed attempt on a Gar lap, joining @duplode and @Stingray86. Had a lot of fun with it. I might try and do a faster lap later on in the race.
  2:01.54

Jan 25

• Argammon
  @dreadnaut, could you please announce whether or not the leading hours from 2024 carry over? I am fine with either decision, but racers need to know that for adjusting their strategies. Thanks in advance!
• Stingray86
  After some practice I have achieved a faster Vette GAR time! Glad you had fun with it @Mortimer McMire. Keep at it!
  1:49.27
• Stingray86
  Have just set up a dedicated Stunts retro PC for this year. Tried to upload an image for all to see but cant seem to work out how to insert images into the shoutbox...
• Duplode
  @Stingray86 If you upload it somewhere, you can paste the URL to the image in your message and it will be displayed here. Or you can start a thread and attach the pics on the Forum
• Duplode
  Is this a PTB fight?
  1:08.84
• Argammon
  Yeah, we are fighting for the breadcrumbs left by @alanrotoi.

• Ryoma
  Miss @Leo and @Stan in the Amateur League. I will race partially this year.
• Mortimer McMire
  Congratulations @MarkNailwood !
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, @MarkNailwood! @Ryoma I think Leo at least will be back to the scoreboard soon. (And hopefully so will you! )
• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday @MarkNailwood!
• Argammon
  Happy birthday @MarkNailwood!
• Shoegazing Leo
  Happy Birthday @MarkNailwood and @Ryoma - I'll back on next days. I'm solving some problems and with a injured foot spoiling something.
• Spoonboy
  Happy Birthday @MarkNailwood!
• Argammon
  The Oxia is a beast :O
  1:06.53
• Spoonboy
  @Argammon It only took me a year of saying this for people to believe me

  A very bad driving by a total beginner but one must start somewhere. Played under GAR.

  Welcome @HerrNove! I like your creative name (Otto -> Nove)
• HerrNove
  Thank you @Frieshansen!

  Welcome on board @HerrNove!

Jan 31

• HerrNove
  Thanks @Spoonboy!
  1:35.04 A
• Argammon
  Welcome @HerrNove and thanks for the great mod!
• HerrNove
  Thanks @Argammon. I've a lot of ideas for other mods, like a mini-radar or turning the camera into free-flight mode. But I'm quite satisfied with my extended line-of-sight modification at the moment, and I hope it will be successful within the Stunt community!
• HerrNove
  Also, congrats for making the top of the scoreboard. I'm going to follow the fight between you big guys while I try to avoid the last place :-)
