• Duplode
  And happy birthday @Frieshansen! 🎉
• Duplode
  @AresUII Just a guess for now, but this reminds me of one issue seen in the past that had to do with DOSBox-X automatically reloading with loadfix -- see for instance https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?msg=78798
• AresUII
  How much RAM should I set? [UPDATE: game_ad from topic 2976 finally worked and doesn't flicker in replays!]
• Victor Narl
  Happy birthday, @Frieshansen!

  Alles gute, @Frieshansen!

  Happy birthday CTG! 🎉 Show us how it's done!
• Victor Narl
  @AlanRotoi, it looks nice, but it doesn't provide any time advantage whatsoever. The regular direct left jump turned out to be faster
• Victor Narl
  Happy birthday, @CTG!
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, @CTG! 🥳
• MiDiaN
  @VictorNarl Sure, it wasn't optimal here. That doesn't change the fact that it's a new trick, and I'm confident it'll pay off on another track with maybe another car.
• Ryoma
  I like the rhythm of this track !!!!

• Mark Nailwood
  Hi @Alain - Sorry for my late reply and thanks for the congratulations regarding last race. You were 1.6 seconds ahead of me at the last tunnel, and I just discovered in one of my last tries that jumping more to the left in order to land directly on the big curve on the hill will preserve more speed for the last section. Well, I'm pretty sure you will beat me on all remaining tracks in this season, but I will try to achieve another surprise.
• Alan Rotoi
  @Victor_Narl probably but it was the first attempt. It wasn't maxed out so it's to be expected that it can be done much faster. Besides it's a trick neven done before in ZakStunts as far as I remember, it's the beauty of the stunt that made me post it here. If we are here is not only for winning races, I hope. That's for a very small amount of racers. It's the game that bring us here to build and to be part of the community, the innovation in a 36 y/o game, the fun together sharing tricks, laps, projects, races and time together. If we only see numbers and results here... how sad it would be.
• Victor Narl
  @AlanRotoi, on the Z298 track, I was the first member of our team to perform a double carpet jump (originally on a car at Melange) to cross the bridge. I don't remember if anyone else had done this trick before me. If yes, then remind me who it was?
• Alan Rotoi
  Could you share the replay? Just said like that a double magic carpet isn't uncommon but probably it makes more sence in the context.
• dreadnaut
  If I remember correctly, the competition record is six consecutive carpets, from Renato's ZCT138 lap.
• Victor Narl
  I meant to use a double carpet (or multiple carpets) specifically in the context of crossing raised bridges or cliffs
• HerrNove
  Happy birthday, @CTG!
• Victor Narl
  @AlanRotoi, regarding your jump, I'll say the following. I performed the exact same jump outside of competition, but instead of the Corkscrew (l/r), I used a Loop (but the principle is the same). I used an Indy for this jump.
• Victor Narl
  @AlanRotoi, also on the FS04 track I used the tunnel roof breakthrough trick on a Lambo (version BB1.1). This might not be a new trick, I've already done it on an Indy car before, but I don't remember anyone doing it on a Lambo
• Alan Rotoi
  Yes, I was impressed by that trick. Every time we find (or perform) something like this should be published. Today we have the tools to make this happen in easy ways.
• Victor Narl
  @AlanRotoi, ok, here's my replay on Indy where I performed a trick similar to yours, but from Loop to Cork u/d https://files.webmoney.com/files/CylD9yoL

  I will be 2 weeks in holiday. Have fun Victor . Recorded session on my channel , there's also a livestream were I did my first 2 trials but the last was super invalid checked live. Marco Plays Dos Games on FB
  1:36.24
• Marco
  Anyway, just some fast run, some trials and my fingers and nerves start complaining for some days. That's incredible . Becoming old is something really bad Victor I cannot run so much unfortunately but I think that this can or could be a problem for many of us here . And This could be an argument as well to prevent health problems that it has not so much sense . Maybe establish a daily or weekly time limit, obviously as a suggestion . honestly, my side effects I think don't affect the performance , i feel that movement is fine but just noise and bad skin sensibility on the last 2 right fingers and right part of the hands. This I think happens because of some compression of ulnar nerve due to these movements done for so many years. Probably I press too strongly the key when i play . Probably the initial cause was not from gaming but i don't know. I only know that I can play a very limited amount of time to avoid this and that this is the main reason why I quitted the big championship. As Victor correctly said, there are things that are more important . Years ago I placed gums on keys . I try again
• Victor Narl
  @Marco, at the 1:52:50 mark you pass to the left of the illusion slalom (the yellow line rule is not followed). Do you think this is acceptable or not for GAR? It's important for me to know how to get through this section myself.
• Marco
  I don t know what is an illusion slalom. I noticed that there was a stone wall only on the right part. If you don t pass through the wall is fine to me.
• Marco
  I check the replay
• Marco
  Oh wow, maybe I m wrong but I think you cennot do something like that with the normal editor. Checking the replay I see that I'm perfectly on the road and that I pass on the left side quite far from the wall. But following the sense of my rules , it's only specified that you cannot pass through the wall but if you pass on the outside keeping a pixel on the road is fine. In this case, because of the corner, you can easily pass without taking care of the wall. Sounds fine to me.
• Marco
  another lucky one . Now i stop otherwise I will ruin the holiday. Hope to do not have already ruined it
  1:33.83
• Victor Narl
  @Marco, Bravo! my congratulations! This is a really strong lap for GAR
• Marco
  I was not so satisfied at the beginning and, as the last time, i pushed more on the second part. Some Very lucky situations with the pixel contact. Thanks my friend.

  @stanceboyCZ, I suggest you join the Dosreloaded competition to become more confident. https://dosreloaded.de/forum/thread/9104-4d-sports-driving-stunts-jahrescontest-2026/?pageNo=1
• dreadnaut
  Hey @stanceboyCZ! The Audi is a tricky car: it slows down a lot if you leave the road, and takes time to go back up to speed, so it's important to keep momentum. If you feel you lost speed at some point, it's worth rewinding the replay and trying a different trajectory. There are also two shortcuts you could use: jumping off the second bridge to the left, in the early track, and jumping off the hill-and-loop to the left, later. You can download public replays to discover these tricks!
• Ryoma
  @stanceboyCZ please try to take pleasure without thinking of the chrono
• Spoonboy
  @stanceboyCZ also remember you can join us on the forums to discuss and help eachother. There are threads open to all, and also threads just for our team to chat in privately

• Ryoma
  I see the replay of Mark and always the same question : Why I slipe and not you ?
• Ryoma
  To resume : accelerate = slipe brake = slipe steer = slipe
  1:13.48
• dreadnaut
  These days I really appreaciate that I can pause a lap at any time, and come back hours later to complete it.
• Erik Barros
  Happy birthday @MiDiaN!!!

• dreadnaut
  And happy birthday to @HunterBoy344! 🎂
• dreadnaut
  And we are half-way through ZCT300! That means somewhere around ZCT150 I suppose? Two more weeks to discover if the Audi is actually the car of the month, or if the end of public days will bring new cars to the top of the scoreboard. Or any position: we should get those car podiums filled in! 🤾
• dreadnaut
  Indeed a Melange side-race could be quite fun

• Zak McKracken
  A lap of respect. I was never good to start with, but heavens I'm so rusty... It doesn't matter - it was fun. Great track! I'm so grateful to all of you for keeping ZakStunts alive - and special thanks to dreadnaut of course
  1:14.93
• Victor Narl
  @ZakMcKracken, Hello and welcome back! Glad to see you competing again!
• Alain
  Happy to see you on the scoreboard zaqrack
• Alan Rotoi
  Glad to see you here @Zak! Thanks for joining us in this important race. I bet you didn't thought in 2001 that your baby site would last so long and so alive. 😁🏎️
• Zak McKracken
  I thought it'll be a nice hobby project for my university years I was not expecting it to last any longer - and am super happy to see so many old friends around such as @Alan Rotoi and @Alain
• Alan Rotoi
  As for me, I never left completely—I raced occasionally few times per year—but since 2021 I got involved in every track and many community projects.

Jul 12

• Spoonboy
  @ZakMcKraken so good to see you race again, welcome! I may have said this before, but thankyou for the gift of this competition and the amazing community it has built. We race to beat eachother's times, but we also help eachother to achieve our pwrsonal best. The healthiest competition and example of sportsmanship that I know of. It is not just fun - it has truly changed lives!
