• Cas
  First try on this track... and having a lot of fun with it!
  1:22.17
• Cas
  Trying with the Untamable, but I think I'm not skilled enough for that car, as much as I like it...
  1:40.71
• Cas
  Alright... the Corvette will have to be! By the way, very competitive track!
  1:23.81

Sep 5

• CTG
  Still over 1 minute? Bah!
• Duplode
  I'd say you're not too far off the mark this time, actually...
  1:02.28

Sep 6

• CTG
  Btw what a nice crowd between 8th and 12th place - all within one second.
• CTG
  Indy is definitely NOT the winning car this time (+9s penalty).
  1:13.31
• CTG
  Public one.

  For the moment, a slightly improved GAR lap. By the way, for further OWOOT racing, a new R4K race has started! Try out KyLIE's IMSA track at http://r4k.fnhost.org/index.php?page=race&race=2020-05

  A DOSBox weirdness report: I started getting graphical freezes while playing Stunts after updating my (Arch Linux) system this weekend, even though DOSBox itself wasn't updated. I didn't do much investigation; in any case, the freezes stopped once I switched to dosbox-staging (see https://dosbox-staging.github.io/ ). Mentioning it here in case any other Linux players find it relevant (or Seeker and GTAMan, who were discussing alternative DOSBox builds here last race).

  @Duplode except I'm not on Linux
• afullo
  I just updated Ubuntu from 18.04.4 to 18.04.5, for the moment I'm not experiencing anything weird...
• Duplode
  I have just switched back to plain DOSBox (if you're installing them through Arch's tools, it replaces dosbox-staging, and vice-versa) and the freezes seem to have stopped, which is good, though I guess I'll remain in the dark about what happened. @GTAMan15 When I mentioned that discussion I was mainly thinking about the playing-with-alternative-builds part of the matter. For instance, one I'd really like to give a go is DOSBox-X (see https://dosbox-x.com/ ), but it seems to have a compatibility issue with Stunts in that the save replay dialog doesn't work, which is quite discouraging.
• Seeker1982
  the replay i just uploaded was my new GAR-lap, but by accident the GAR-flag hasn't been set - it tried to abort the upload process but it was to late
• Duplode
  @Seeker1982 I have added the GAR flag.
• Seeker1982
  thanks, but I drove a new and faster GAR-lap anyways

• CTG
  3... 2... 1... CORVETTE!

Sep 13

• Stingray86
  I'm sticking with the Corvette coz its me. Well done @KyLIE, you can fly the flag for us

Sep 14

• KyLiE
  Thanks @Stingray86. I prefer the Corvette in real life as well.

• dreadnaut
  Happy Birthday @Cas! ?
• Cas
  Thanks, Dreadnaut!
• afullo
  Happy birthday!
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, Cas!

• Overdrijf
  O yeah, we have a friggin Duplode track race going on and I'm barely on the board yet. Help, I need more time! Does somebody have an extra Wednesday or something in their regular workweek that I can take off their hands and fit into my own calendar?

Sep 18

• Cas
  Thanks, guys! Oh, I haven't had much time here this month and now the race is virtually over!
• Zak McKracken
  8th finished GAR try. Can't say I have not taken this one seriously!
  1:21.84

Sep 19

• Duplode
  Nice GAR times, Zak and KyLiE! As for me, it would be nice to narrow the gap to Seeker a bit further, but I don't think it's happening.
  1:02.03
• KyLiE
  Thanks @Duplode. I narrowed the gap for you!
  1:19.88
• Alan Rotoi
  It's a list filler and I found it's a great track! Damn! Congrats!
• Seeker1982
  seems like I have to step up my GAR-times - great fun for me
  1:18.95
• Duplode
  Thanks Alan! Speaking of late replays, I might as well try a lap or two with the Carrera.
  1:19.49

Sep 20

• Seeker1982
  congrats Duplode esp. for winning the GAR-race
• Duplode
  Y'know how midfield F1 teams hope for something abnormal to happen so they have a chance of beating Mercedes or whoever else is dominating? That was me today with the late change to Carrera
• Seeker1982
  I did a strategy-error by changing the car to late and didn't max out the PC4 in time; instead I watched a (nice) movie I have a driven sub 1:46 in the PC4 on my HDD, but it came to late
• dreadnaut
  Yaaawn! Let's publish those quiet replays before heading to bed
• KyLiE
  Nice work @Duplode. You snaked 1st place at the last minute! Pun intended.
• dreadnaut
  Scoreboard confirmed! Congratulations to Seeker1982, CTG and Duplode! ?
• dreadnaut
  And the new track is up, thank you @Alan!
• Duplode
  (1) So I actually won with that Vette replay! (2) As I was reviewing what the season standings look like now (pretty close!), I have added the LTB points for Z230. Seeker managed +1 and, after narrowly missing out on Z229, CTG got +2 by a margin of two hours. (3) From the map, @Alan 's track looks fun, and the concept is nice too!

  Congrats Dup for winning last track!
• Alan Rotoi
  I hope you'll enjoy this track. It's inspired in Kowloon Walled City: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City
• Heretic
  Fun track!
  1:10.52
• CTG
  Nope, it's not.

  1:13.94

Sep 26

• Alan Rotoi
  A lap with my yellow p962
  1:07.56
• Cas
  First attempt! Hey, the design of this track is excellent. I've been reading about the Walled City and I like how you've represented it, @Alan. Very fun track, allows for lots of tricks
  1:15.47
• Cas
  ...and a GAR one!
  1:26.96
