    I think I might manage, but it will take a while. The introduction is easy: "Никита, одиннадцать лет, Санкт-Петербург, Россия, песня "Эта я "." The first 2 verses say: "Эта я праву (?) бурю. Эта я раздуваю пламя." - "It is I who stir up the storm. It is I who fan the flames."

    OH NO! I fear I continued @MiDiaN's replay! @Duplode @dreadnaut Please check my .rpl, they might be all irregular! EDIT: the 1:55.65 should be good. Not so the following 2.
  • HerrNove
    But this is a genuine one Smiley So my replays of 2 Oct 11:27 and 2 Oct 12:48 CET should be removed and ignored for PTB purposes – apologies to @MiDiaN for that. Still, my “100% HerrNove” run is the best, and the big guys will need to send something if they want to get to the top again.

  • Overdrijf
    Hi Matei! For clarity, the "Overdrijf is awesome" license only applies to the cars released under said license, in this case the Siluro, but the DTM cars were also released under it. (I think even the updated Kart version is from before I thought of it.) It is a joke, but it is a joke with a meaning behind it. Sometimes the internet can look a bit like there's two camps: companies with ever stricter protections, and users who figure that everything they can google is theirs now. Licenses such as the creative commons license have been popping up to fill that gap, where you can create something that's free for others to use and modify, but not for say a company to copy and turn into a paid product. I saw some people applying licenses like this to their Stunts creations, and I decided that while I was too lazy and too carefree to follow their example to the letter and start figuring out which of these things is the best etc (because who would steal my cars made for Stunts? I'm happy to have people play around with these things), I could create my own license instead. And that was the Overdrijf is awesome license. I am very happy that the curators of the Zakstunts pack, as license abiding citizens, followed the instructions in said license and included it in the pack. That's what the license asks, if someone includes these cars in say the release of a game they include either the notice of the license or another note that Overdrijf is awesome. It's because they included it that you now know that Overdrijf is totally, totally awesome.

    Thanks for letting us know @HerrNove, I've excluded the two replays from the scoreboard ✅
  • Taxi driver
    Hi nobody! If you want me to call you by the nickname, then call me "Taxi driver", especially since I don't know your real name, which I would have used in this context, since you used mine. First, laws don't matter even when they should. Here's an example: https://icpraha.com/en/physical-punishment-of-children-is-prohibited-in-the-czech-republic "Does this mean penalties for parents? No." If I would have distributed your car, which I won't because I don't like it, I would have specified that I downloaded it from here though, as I already did in file README.txt from my game: "The first 19 tracks available here (and converted) were created by Cas and are available at https://www.raceforkicks.com/ and the rest of them are tracks other/trk/ZCT020.TRK ... other/trk/ZCT078.TRK made by some people for Stunts - https://zak.stunts.hu/downloads. Also not under GNU GPL license, but it doesn't really matter(?)" So I distributed the tracks and If anyone has anything against that (I estimate that no one will bother), as I already wrote ~3 days ago: "It is I who stir up the storm. It is I who fan the flames." Can't guarantee that the translation is 100% correct, but I really like this song.

    Happy birthday, @AkossPoo! 🎉
  • Taxi driver
    Forgot this - song referring to the aforementioned license: "I've done everything that I wanted and it was more than I thought it would be. I will leave my mark, so everyone will know I was here." Great song performance, but the text has a few issues...

    Happy birthday, @AkossPoo!

    There is an error in the PTB update - the date can't possibly be October 1st when there are 360 ​​hours remaining. https://zak.stunts.hu/articles/ptb-updates-season-2026#
  • Duplode
    Happy birthday, @AkossPoo! Smiley @VictorNarl Indeed, that was supposed to be September 30th. Now fixed (on the "previous update" chart).
  • Victor Narl
    @Duplode, it looks like you made a mistake regarding the latest PTB update again. The correct date is October 3rd, not October 5th.

  • Chocolate Stunts 🍫

    Exciting times in the world of Stunts reverse engineering: new efforts based on the Restunts project are popping up left and right.

    In my eyes though, the release Chocolate Stunts marks a big milestone: it is the first port that sticks close to the original while going well beyond graphic enhancements. I'm thinking in particular of the “press Q to rewind” feature, which can greatly reduce the effort of replay handling.

    To keep racing fair, improvements of this kind need to be accessible to everyone, and Chocolate Stunts is in a good place, with builds for many operating systems, DOS included! Give it a try today, and let us know what you think on the forum

    The landscape is shifting

    From the point of view of the competition, Stunts BB 1.1 remains our reference point, at least for the moment. Racers might use different versions of the game (original, SuperSight, Chocoloate?), but replays must show a valid line in the Stunts version available for download on this website.

    But the Stuntsphere is changing, as they say, gradually, then suddenly. From small patches to extensive mods, to a Cambrian explosion of projects bringing Stunts into the 21st century. We need a conversation to chart the competition's path ahead: how do we keep racing fair and fun with an increasing number of improvements and tools?

    What remains fundamental to ZakStunts is that the replay must be entirely driven by the person submitting it. Sharing with other folks is no-no, and magically generated laps will not be allowed. The spirit of the competition remains to challenge ourselves, to find and execute the fastest route that our fingers, our patience, and the game will allow.

    Again, join us on the Forum to shape what the competition will look like in 2027. And fasten your seatbelt, however many pixels it is rendered with.

    Just found out there's a new version of Stunts called "Chocolate Stunts". Downloaded executable file which worked with Fedora 41, so I recorded a replay with it and uploaded here, but I still prefer the version for DOS repaired by Mr. Herrnove, because compiling the new one is Mission Impossible, which means I can't change a setting that I use (among other things). I suppose that whoever wants to record a shorter replay should use it though... the replay I just uploaded is 3.15 shorter than the previous one. Used "hyper vision" set to "medium", CPU Pentium 4 650.
