  Time's up! Quiet replays published 🏁
• KyLiE
  Congratulations to @Argammon, @MiDiaN and @Duplode!
• Cas
  Congratulations, guys! It was a nice race
• Mortimer McMire
  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!

Jun 2

• 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
  2:13.18 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  hmmmm
  2:02.81 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Improving
  1:54.57 A
• 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
  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.
• 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.

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

Jun 4

• Erik Barros
  Congrats @Argammon, @MiDiaN and @Duplode!! Also the podcast with @HerrNove, @Mortimer McMire and @Cas
• Mortimer McMire
  Quick and rough blueprint for a faster lap!

  Beginning with Vette GAR this time

  Happy 40th BOEFF-day, kahdra!

• Duplode
  Phew! Finally found the last few tenths... for now
  1:28.92

• KyLiE
  Nice work @Zapper! I'll be sure to check out your work soon.
• Zapper
  Thank you @KyLiE! @Marco kindly made a live before showing all the cars in the pack:

Jun 10

• Argammon
  Happy Birthday @Duplode! Great work @Zapper!
• Zapper
  Happy birthday @Duplode! Thank you @Argammon
• KyLiE
  Happy birthday @Duplode!
• Spoonboy
  Happy Birthday @Duplode! Another lap around the track for you. Your teamwork and sportsmanship are inspirational!
• Alan Rotoi
  Happy birthday @Dups!!
• Frieshansen
  Happy birthday @Duplode!
• HerrNove
  Parabéns pra você, @Duplode! And congrats to @Zapper for his impressive work!
• MiDiaN
  Here is a PG run for you @Duplode! Enjoy!
  3:13.38
• Argammon
  I better get some breadcrumbs before Midian sends his real power-gear lap.
  1:34.72
• dreadnaut
  Happy birthday @Duplode! 🎉
• Duplode
  Thank you all! 😊

Jun 11

• Duplode
  @MiDiaN Thanks! We might as well round out the set with the Acura
  1:36.12

Jun 12

• HerrNove
  Well, to hide their experiments Argammon and MiDiaN have gambitted a piece of position bonus. No chance for them to get +2, and it's likely that at most one of them will get +1. Now that the European midnight has passed I am eager to see which incredible times they managed to set
• HerrNove
  And you, @Duplode, will you post your Ferrari PG lap now or are content with your #1 Oxia lap ?
• Duplode
  @HerrNove I don't have that one yet Though I now kind of feel like trying the Vette, thanks to MiDiaN's lap -- it's a great watch!
• Overdrijf
  Nice shake-up! Just in time too, I was getting afraid we were done figuring this track out already.
• Stingray86
  Interesting track. Something different!
  2:37.38 A
• MiDiaN
  Let's put the Vette in the garage... for now!
  1:27.04

Jun 13

• Duplode
  All right, this is quite interesting!
  1:25.70
• Argammon
  Actually, I think it is not. The power-gear lines are kind of obvious, so it is all about maxing out all the little details which I do not find particularly interesting.
  1:25.63
• Duplode
  I'm enjoying how seamlessly the race has flipped. (But can it flip yet again?)
• Argammon
  Well, I think that it is possible to beat the current leading time with the Oxia. However, doing so would require quite a lot of work.
• dreadnaut
  Another red car to balance the scoreboard
  1:54.70 A
• dreadnaut
  Argh, too fast 😱

Jun 15

• Duplode
  Robert Kubica has won Le Mans on a Ferrari!!! 🎉
  1:24.86
• Argammon
  It seems like I will receive 0.5 PTB at best this month. Nice fierce battle though.

Jun 16

• MiDiaN
  C'mon @Argammon! My Corvette is faster than your Indy!
  1:25.13
• Argammon
  @Midian: Actually, it is not. It only has a better coefficient.

Jun 21

• Duplode
  Some more Vette GAR...
  2:36.70

Jun 23

• Duplode
  ... and some non-Vette GAR too
  2:00.46

Jun 26

• HerrNove
  We're heading towards the quiet days. For those wanting to try the Indy, @Alan Rotoi has just made a video showing how even small differences in the shifting technique can translate in relevant time improvements.
• Argammon
  Thanks, @Herr Nove and @Alanrotoi. I think my replay falls under the "late upshifting" category. Ooops! PS: will you submit a power-gear lap @HerrNove?

Jun 27

• HerrNove
  @Argammon sure, why not?
  4:29.25

Jun 28

• Overdrijf
  Overlooked car?
  1:43.54
• HerrNove
  The Mercedes is still a good deal, but this month's bonus makes it not competitive against Oxia and P962.
• Duplode
  Two minutes to go!

Jun 29

• Duplode
  Time's up! The quiet replays will be revealed in a few moments -- join us at the chat room!
• Duplode
  Quiet replays revealed!
• Overdrijf
  The legendary 3 car, 3 team podium.
• KyLiE
  A power gear showdown! Congratulations to @Argammon, @Duplode and @MiDiaN!
• Duplode
  Results confirmed! Congratulations to @Argammon (delightful one-wheel bounce!) and @MiDiaN (keeping the Indy on the podium -- once again we had a nice diversity of PG lines!), and to @HerrNove, @MortimerMcMire and @Cas on the Am League. The new track will be up later today, sometime around 15:00 UTC+0 if it all goes to plan.
• Alain
  In the shadows of the neon-lit streets, where the roar of engines echoes through the night, a new force is emerging. The asphalt whispers secrets of speed, and the wind carries the names of those who dare to defy gravity. They say legends are born from the fire of passion and the steel of determination. We are the unseen, the unheard, the unstoppable. Our wheels kiss the pavement, and our hearts race with the thrill of the unknown. From the ashes of past glory, we rise. A brotherhood forged in the heat of the chase, bound by the adrenaline that courses through our veins. We are the architects of the impossible, the masters of the unforeseen. The city sleeps, but we are wide awake. The stage is set, and the world is our audience. We dance on the edge of danger, where every flip, every jump, every twist tells a story of courage and defiance. Hyperion Team, Assemble. The time has come to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight. The roads are our canvas, and our stunts are the masterpieces that will leave the world in awe. End of Transmission
• Cas
  Congrats, guys!! Full of surprises. Very nice race
• Alan Rotoi
  Hey is that you Alain? Welcome back! Nice epic message BTW
• HerrNove
  Indeed a very well-written announcement! As a newbie I will be happy to cross trajectories with some of the veterans I have not met yet.
• Duplode
  Update complete: ZCT288 — Machine Generated Slope, by @ShoegazingLeo, is open for racing! Looking forward for it being graced by racers from across the galaxy — Welcome back, @Alain!
• Mortimer McMire
  Time to open this months ball! A quick GAR lap to set things in motion before I (once again) forget to upload one!

  This is a fun right, probably optimized that a bit more than reasonable for a scouting lap.
  1:17.09
• Mortimer McMire
  And my mandatory Oxia Lap!
  1:22.02
• Alain
  Listen up, newbies, I've danced with death more times than you've changed your underwear this week. And I'm so old that I'll soon need diapers myself. So go ahead and show the world your dirtiest skid marks.
  1:23.74
• Mortimer McMire
  Nice, six players on the board at the moment with six different cars! Let's keep that up as long as possible for this race (different cars that is)!
• Duplode
  @Alain I have rewired the profiles so that you can login with your old "Alain" account using the password you've set for the new account. Let us know that you can indeed login with it, and we can move the new replays, messages and bio to the old account.
• Alain
  @Duplode The rewiring worked like a charm, no voodoo puppet or rubber chicken was harmed in the process. Grog! Grog! Grog!

• Mortimer McMire
  Happy birthday to @ShoegazingLeo! Normally the birthdayboy get’s a present but today you bless us with the gift of your awesome track!
• HerrNove
  Happy birthday @ShoegazingLeo! This track is as good as the best celebration party!
• Ryoma
  Yeah another french guy
• Duplode
  Feliz aniversário, @ShoegazingLeo!
  1:24.17
• Duplode
  @Alain Great! The replays and data have been moved to the old profile. Everything should be there now; let us know if anything looks out of place.
• Alan Rotoi
  Happy birthday @LeoRamone!!
