  @VictorNarl The smoothest option IMO is to change between CET and CEST in order to consistently follow the server time (that is, Budapest time); however, that comes with a few technical annoyances of its own (sin particular when DST ends). I have been adjusting for DST in the charts I've been posting (see ZCT284 and ZCT292 last year), but it's not 100% certain that we'll keep doing it in the final implementation of PTB.
• Victor Narl
  @Duplode, I'm wondering how PTB will be taken into account in the current race? There should be only 599 hours here, not 600. or will the last hour of PTB leading overlap with Quiet mode?
• Alain
  My latest GAR rpl might break some GAR rules: wheel contact on the tube and collision bug. I'm sorry about that. I'll send better rpls to correct the mistake!

• Duplode
  @Alain I've watched your 1:05.60/1:02.32, and, as far as I can tell, there always is at least one wheel in contact with the pipe surface, and so the car is never fully airborne there. It's a very close call, but it seems fine to leave the GAR tag on for this one. Thanks for the heads-up -- and do send better replays anyway!

• Victor Narl
  @Duplode, I would like to clarify the GAR rules regarding collisions with walls: in Alain mark's GAR replay at ~0:49:45 there are multiple touches of the wall of the "horn" type ascent, and then multiple touches of the wall of the bridge - this is the so-called collision bug. Is its use in GAR also prohibited or not?
• Duplode
  @VictorNarl That part is fine. When we say "collision bugs", we usually mean things that blatantly subvert our expectations of the physics (like driving through slalom blocks, to mention one very clear example). Kissing the wall at low speed without crashing is just normal driving, even if it happens a few times in quick succession like at the u/d cork in Alain's lap.
• Alain
  @Duplode Thanks for your answer! Of course I will send better GAR replays, live driving is very funny.

  ups

  What happened @MiDiaN?

• Alain
  🚨 I sent a GAR replay with "quiet" checked and "scoreboard" + "public replays" unchecked and I can see it 🚨
• Victor Narl
  @Alain, the Quiet option does not work in the GAR league - these are the GAR rules
• Alan Rotoi
  Do we meet in the chatroom for the race deadline? One hour and a half left!
• Alain
  I'll be there. Which heliport number? 35 or 37?
• Duplode
  37

  My congratulations go up to MiDiaN and Victor. To watch MiDiaN's lap fasten your seatbelt, it's like a roller coaster. Also congratulations to Victor and Duplode on GAR. Congratulations to RCbandit Cas and LeoRamone on amateur. Thanks to all participants. ❤️ 🐰
• MiDiaN
  Thanks everyone! I noticed @Victor_Narl performed better on flat roads. Without the crazy stunts, he likely would've taken the gold!
• Victor Narl
  @MiDiaN, thanks, I've improved my apex technique significantly by watching your replays. Your replay of the Silverado in last month's race was especially helpful.
• Victor Narl
  @Alain, thanks for the congratulations. I also congratulate @Zapper and our entire team on a great performance.
• Duplode
  Results confirmed! Congratulations to @MiDiaN (wonderful way to actualise the potential of the P962!), @VictorNarl (that Testarossa replay is well worth watching too!) and @Alain (another podium, and another strong showing from Hyperion!), and to @RCBandit, @Cas and @ShoegazingLeo on the Am podium. Happy Easter!
• Duplode
  And there it is: ZCT297 — Chi-Tai, by @Frieshansen, is open for racing!
• Alain
  Godspeed everyone!

  is anyone using linux mint?
• Duplode
  @stanceboyCZ My main system runs on Arch, but I like Mint -- it's my go-to when I need a Linux VM for something or other.

• Alan Rotoi
  New video!! Fortitude race!! Enjoy!
• stanceboyCZ
  @Duplode i prefer Mint, cause it's simple like Windows. But the problem that bothers me is that when i want to wake up my PC from sleep mode, it doesnt boot up, the PC works but black screen only appears.

• Duplode
  @stanceboyCZ My old laptop (Acer Aspire 5 from 2017) has actually been having a similar issue for some time now. It doesn't happen every time (it fails about once every four times), but still I can't rely on resuming from suspend. I didn't try very hard to find a solution (because it felt like some obscure, hardware-specific problem that could be a headache to investigate), but maybe I'll give it another go at some point, as it's pretty annoying.

  Why wasn't the 24-second penalty in the replay https://zak.stunts.hu/replays/3b54270cac3c05ce54c82f33a2af21aa6de475bc taken into account? https://files.webmoney.com/files/fac2jGxE
• HerrNove
  I must have missed the penalty announcement, will check as soon as I have the possibility. Sorry for the mistaken submission.
• HerrNove
  No way to amend my replay, unfortunately. @Duplode can you please add 24 seconds of penalty time to it? It was good fun, even if useless for the tournament.
• Duplode
  @HerrNove (and @VictorNarl) I've added the penalty to that replay, thanks for the heads-up. While driving laps that finish with an open "penalty chain" (see https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Penalty_time#Penalty_rules ), the on-screen penalty warning sometimes appears very briefly or, as in this case, not at all, so it's a good idea generally to have a look at the evaluation screen after driving just to be sure.

  There's a method to the sticking-with-the-Countach madness this month--pointers wanted anyway.
  1:26.78 A
• Alain
  Hello my friend, release the gas pedal. Good luck!
• AresUII
  when?

• Victor Narl
  Welcome, @AresUII
• AresUII
  oh...
  1:18.21 A
• Alain
  For the Countach release the gas on the inclines and sometimes on the flat.
• AresUII
  What are some elements/transitions to watch out for? How long do I need to release?
  1:18.07 A
• Alain
  Release until it's in the air or on the flat again. Watch the speed needle going down as you accelerate on inclines, but staying at the same speed while releasing the gas pedal. That will shave some ticks.
