  Congratulations, guys! It was a nice race

  Congrats to @Argammon, @MidDiaN and @Duplode. Also congrats to @HerrNove and @Cas for finishing on the AM championship podium!
• Duplode
  Hi everyone! The confirmation of the results and the rest of the update will proceed in the next few hours. Meanwhile, do check out Race For Kicks, our premier no-shortcuts competition, whose June round also starts today! https://www.raceforkicks.com/index.php?page=race&race=2025-06 In particular, I invite our star rookies @HerrNove and @MiDiaN and GAR enthusiasts like @MarkNailwood and @Stingray86 to give it a try if you can find a little time to spare
• Argammon
  After watching the replays, I must admit that I got lucky. Compared to my lap, @MiDiaN and @Duplode did not find the most efficient route over the grass in the beginning and missed the slide jump onto the high corner. Kudos guys, you were undoubtfully faster than me on the road. Congratulations also go to @HerrNove for winning another amateur race and to @CAS and @Mortimer MCMire.
• Mortimer McMire
  Thanks for the heads up @Duplode. Totally forgot about Race For Kicks. Not something I participate in regularly but it's always fun to enter a race once in a while!
• HerrNove
  Pretty happy of my 5th place (PB), a lucky finding in the pipe section allowed me to beat the secret attempts of @Overdrijf and @Spoonboy. Congrats to everyone, especially to the pro and amateur medalists! @Duplode I'll have a look at Race for Kicks, it actually seems to fit my style better.
• Duplode
  Results confirmed! Congratulations to @Argammon and @MiDiaN (another stunning result!), and also to @HerrNove (likewise!), @MortimerMcMire and @Cas. The new track will be up before CEST midnight.
• Duplode
  Update finally completed! ZCT287 — A Walk in the Park, by @Overdrijf, is open for racing!

• Overdrijf
  What do you guys think? The shape of that asphalt road from start to finish: chicken or duck?
• Mortimer McMire
  @Overdrijf, It could be just me but if you turn the picture until the houses/city are in the topright corner it slightly looks like a turkey!
• Shoegazing Leo
  Strange track

  hmmmm

• HerrNove
  A first taste. Interesting how each track designer has his own style!
  1:49.62
• HerrNove
  A half-serious attempt. Will it be the right time for the Oxia?
  1:44.85
• HerrNove
  @Overdrijf too flat to be a chicken. I like @Mortimer's suggestion.
• Mortimer McMire
  First quick blind "scouting" lap before work. Seems like a fun track, took a few wrong turns on this try though!
  2:05.10
• Mortimer McMire
  Still made some oopsies route wise. But a better lap nonetheless!
  1:55.70
• Mark Nailwood
  OK, this is my first try. And now I'm feeling a little bit dizzy.
  1:51.29 A
• Zapper
  First tryout
  1:58.08
• HerrNove
  @Mortimer we need to be quick before the masters arrive
• Mortimer McMire
  Can you read my mind @HerrNove? But I think our battle is decided for now. That six seconds jump is a quite big one that I can't over come with perfecting lines in the last sector.
• HerrNove
  It was a nice first duel @Mortimer and I think there will be further rounds, my replay is far from perfect. This race feels as if @Overdrijf had read my driver's profile and decided to build my ideal track, that's why I feel obliged to honor his work In my opinion the key here is how to exploit fast grass perfectly and decide when and where to drive on the slow grass (Argammon won the last race because of this last topic). Only thing that may spoil my party is if someone finds non-trivial aerial moves with the loop & the corks: but for that I will wait the first replays of the top dogs.

• Mortimer McMire
  I'm convinced there will be next rounds @herrNove. But for now a new problem arises, for some reason the game isn't registering me crossing the finish line anymore. So you can see how that can be a problem. Already laid the question at my teammates but if anyone else nows this problem, feel free to chip in.
• HerrNove
  Never seen this case, but you might want to try checking the forum. E.g. here: Penalty oddities and here: Two Lap Race (Bug) . Have you driven on some of the broken paths?
• Mortimer McMire
  Thanks @HerrNove! I think it is the problem explained in the Penalty Oddities thread. I indeed used the dirt road going left, right before the Loop. I was curious if it would give me a penalty. It didn't so I thought I was clever and found a need shortcut. But I guess I triggered that bug. I also tried other tracks, and redriving this track without using that stretch of dirt road en both times the game registers fine. So this only proves your theory. And as you can guess, I'm a pretty big noob for these kind of things so thanks again HerrNove!
• HerrNove
  Happy to be of help! If you are hunting for shortcuts, it's worth mentioning that @Overdrijf explained the algorithm in one of his really useful training videos (start at 2:32):
• Cas
  Wow! I almost go lost here! Ha, ha. Very nice ride
  1:52.23
• Mark Nailwood
  Studying the public replays is really useful on this track to find the optimal driving path. I wonder what additional shortcuts and tricks will be revealed in the end.

  I just realized this: the curse of the Mercedes still hasn't been broken! It continues being the car that never won.

• Mortimer McMire
  Quick and rough blueprint for a faster lap!
