• Duplode
  Happy birthday @Seeker1982! And that's very pretty, @Ryoma, both car and dashboard!
• Ryoma
  @Duplode thanks almost finish
• Duplode
  Phew, that was close! A really late definition of the LTB point!

May 2

• Ryoma
  499P available
• Spoonboy
  Whoa mama. @Ryoma you have created another masterpiece. This beast has crazy speed like your LC1 and LC2, and very stable. With this, the Veyron and @Alan Rotoi's A-70, we have a collection of digital dashboard rocketships!

May 3

• Spoonboy
  It also looks amazing. Don't know how you've managed such a complex body shape with such a low poly limit.
• Ryoma
  Thanks @Spoonboy. It took me about one year for the shape. First, I collect the vertices with Excel for the rear. I create an .OBJ that I import and after I simplify. And I finish the front. It's a different process comparing to my previous cars.

• Shoegazing Leo
  Why quiet replays and not replayshhh?
• Overdrijf
  Not a contender this month. I had some plans for a fence sliding full powergear Indy lap, but it turned out to be both unconpetitive and impractical, unless someone figures out a good skip for the illusion-chicane at least. Wait, did someone figure out one of those? 25 minutes until we know!
  1:18.75

• Shoegazing Leo
  A 1:05 lap... Oooopss! Time's Up . . . . . . . Just Kidding!
• dreadnaut
  Quiet replays published!

  ⚠️ The forum is having a wobble, investigating
• Mortimer McMire
  Congrats to @Argammon (overall) and @MarkNailwood (Amateur League) for taking the top spots! On a personal note, I'm glad I was somewhat competitive in the mid-field for the first time :-) (although I'm painfully aware that some of the Big Dogs weren't all that active this race)!
• Erik Barros
  Congratulations @Argammon @Duplode and @MarkNailwood. also to @Spoonboy and @MortimerMcMire
• Argammon
  Thanks, congratulations @Duplode, @MarkNailwood and @Spoonboy. Mark's result is remarkable. When was the last time a racer with automatic transmission achieved a podium spot? That must be a long time ago!
• Alan Rotoi
  Congrats guys! Also congrats to amateur league podium! Special congrats to @MarkNailwood. Can you imagine what this man can do with manual transmission? He's driving literally with one hand!

May 6

• Mark Nailwood
  Thanks for the congrats! I really put some effort into this race . Yes, @AlanRotoi, I'm driving with one hand - and the other one on the Esc key . In this race, especially when trying to pass the loop, which took me at least half an hour each time to succeed. Of course, I've also tried to drive manual a few times in some races, but I was always significantly slower than with auto transmission. I think with my driving style it will only make sense to choose manual when it's needed to get into Powergear very early and then continue like this until the end of the race .
• Duplode
  What a way to enter the 2024 scoreboard -- congratulations @Argammon! Great race and results as well for everyone in the Amateur League podium: @MarkNailwood (overall podium!), @Spoonboy (another top 5!) and @MortimerMcMire (9th in the third race!).
• Frieshansen
  Congrats to @Argammon (that came as a surprise to me) @Duplode, @MarkNailwood (third with automatic - impressive), @Spoonboy and @MortimerMcMire!
• dreadnaut
  Hey folks! Didn't feel great yesterday, and didn't have time to delegate the track update either. New track will be up later today!
• Alan Rotoi
  Take your time @dreadnaut! I hope everything's allright.
• Spoonboy
  Congrats to @Argammon @Duplode and @Mark Nailwood! And a strong amateur podium performance from @Mortimer McMire! Really enjoyed this track and the different approaches to the inside track. Not my fastest, but I was very happy with the double bridge wraparound at the end of my 1:11.56 lap ☺️
• dreadnaut
  Scoreboard confirmed! Congratulations to @Argammon, @Duplode, and @MarkNailwood finally stepping on the podium 👏 That's a whopping 5 experience points for you!
• dreadnaut
  And the new track is up! Thanks go to @Argammon for ZCT274, "Mirage. And just to prove that, yes, you can get to the finish line, here's a first replay
  1:46.98
• dreadnaut
  Note: the race officially starts at midnight CEST, and so do the LTB calculations.
• Shoegazing Leo
  This track is an acid trip, but I never did acid.
  2:13.43 A
• Mortimer McMire
  Wow! And that's all I have to say about this track. Besides that it is one big fever trip :-)!

  6 minutes leader It's really an acid trip
• Spoonboy
  Yeah, I'd like to see the Manager.

• Alan Rotoi
  Camaro, Mustang and Javelin released.
• Daniel3D
  Custom track editors were made because the engine allows more that the build in track editor provides. But this might be the most engine bending track ever to feature a competition.. Thank you Argammon.. 🙏🏻 It's amazing..
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, @Spoonboy!
• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy!
• Mortimer McMire
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy!
• Alan Rotoi
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy!
• Shoegazing Leo
  Happy Spoonday @Spoonboy for you and all your forks!
• Erik Barros
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy!!!
• Zapper
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy! Very clever "Mirage" track from @Argammon! Are LTB points being updated (considering points earned on last race)?
• Argammon
  Happy birthday @Spoonboy! Hoping you are getting some nice ice cream to spoon!  PS: I am glad you guys are enjoying the track. Thanks!
• Ryoma
  This kind of track become to complex for me. I recognize the efforts but it's not for me.
• Spoonboy
  Thanks everybody! Been a fun day, back to business tomorrow. Zak business
• Duplode
  @Zapper On the leading hours counter, yeah -- if 240 hours aren't reached in a race (thus granting an LTB point), the hours carry over until that happens. So e.g. you have started this one with 153 accumulated hours, and 87 (now 82) remaining.

May 8

• Zapper
  Hi @Duplode, sorry for the confusion, I wrote "LTB points" and not "leading hours", so yes, LTB points for me are understood and shown correctly The reason for asking if there was an update issue was that right after entering the LTB board for this race, before getting the first leading hour in this race i.e. "0", the carry over hours shown were not considering the C273's count, it just showed less leading hours carried from C272. Thanks.

• Cas
  Happy birthday, @Spoonboy!
• Cas
  First blind try. Gee! I had never played a track like this one!
  1:43.76

May 9

• Duplode
  @Zapper Okay, so it's a transient issue, only happening during the first hour if there is carryover. Will keep an eye on it, thanks!
• Ryoma
  Where am I on the map ? That's the question !
• Daniel3D
  I really like this one. It's an interesting experience. It's not to difficult. Once you know the path.
• dreadnaut
  @Duplode, @Zapper, I think the transient issue was me forgetting to press the button to update numbers, until a couple of hours after the start of the race 🤣

May 10

• Mortimer McMire
  Have to agree with @Daniel3D. The track seems overwhelming at first but the more you try it the cooler it's get!
• Argammon
  Glad you guys are enjoying the track! However, you are missing at least one shortcut. Should I spoil it, or do you want to keep exploring?
• Zapper
  @Argammon, am I still missing the shortcut?
• Argammon
  @Zapper: Yes, you do. Dreadnaut (or Duplode?) has the copyright on the one you found. He removed a water tile.
• Daniel3D
  whoohoo.. managed a 1:32.. finally... (if I ignore the 45 second penalty time.. ...)
  1:49.60 A
• Daniel3D
  Side note.. driving through the hill is fun, Damn difficult to get right because you can see the edge...

May 11

• Duplode
  @Argammon @Zapper Yup, you can blame and/or thank me for that one -- it's an unintended interaction between two tweaks I suggested...
  1:15.28

May 13

• Mark Nailwood
  My first test drive on this track. With some RH, of course.
  1:26.20 A

May 14

• Duplode
  This made me wonder: what would a NoRH lap here look like? Turns out it's doable, though pretty demanding when it comes to concentration!
  1:23.32
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, @Igor and @KyLiE!
• KyLiE
  Thanks @Duplode!
• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday from me too @KyLiE and @Igor!
• Zapper
  Happy birthday @KyLiE and @Igor!
• dreadnaut
  Happy birthday @KyLiE 🎂 And happy birthday to @Igor 🎉

  Happy Birthday Kylie and Igor! 🎈

  Thanks for the birthday wishes!

May 17

• Argammon
  Spoiler: You can use the loop to jump over the cork. Have fun!

May 18

• Duplode
  What a colourful leading hours chart!
  1:28.27

May 19

• dreadnaut
  Mmmh, would look better with more red
• Duplode
  Also, @Argammon, there's indeed plenty of stuff to try at the swamp (sector naming courtesy of @Spoonboy!). Like in this one:

• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday @MortimerMcMire !

  Happy birthday, @MortimerMcMire!
• Spoonboy
  Happy Birthday @MortimerMcMire! 🏎
• Daniel3D
  Gefeliciteerd man!
• Mortimer McMire
  Thanks guys, en bedankt @Daniel3D! And I just wanted to let you know that I'll be back in competing in a few days. My thesis is due for next Monday so that's where all my spare time is going into at the moment!

May 25

• Erik Barros
  A little late... Happy Birthday @MortimerMcMire

May 26

• Argammon
  A Lola lap showcasing some tricks. Apart from the tricky parts, this is a NORH lap and hence not very good.
