  Hello, thank you for the unban and as said @Victor Narl "und es lebe der ehrliche Rennsportgeist!" if you play Stunts, we are friends! with Hyperion Racing Team, race like the sun never sets 🌞 Congratulations @Argammon ❤️ you reach the status of Stunts Valhalla Legend with your second title 🌈🌲
• Duplode
  Happy birthday @AkossPoo! And welcome back to ZakStunts, @Alain!
• Alain
  I rated Abandoned Mine 5 stars. It was a well designed, simple track, classic Zakraq inspiration, when he designed last minute tracks we had the best fun. Hope he reads that msg some day. Love you Zak ❤️. I designed a great track in the old days : "Poseidon" I suggest using it one day on Zakstunts. It was proven later that CTG and Akoss Poo cheated the vote for the track design contest. That would be justice to my humble yet anti PG track design. 🤞
• Akoss Poo
  Thanks/Danke/Grazie!

• CTG
  "It was proven later that CTG and Akoss Poo cheated the vote for the track design contest." Somebody is holding a grudge... As far as I remember, I was the only one cheating there. More than 20 years ago.
• CTG
  Ooooops, I forgot to add my tra(öööööööööööööööööö...)demark message!

• HerrNove
  Not much action in the last days... let's poke @Argammon and see what happens
  1:14.26

Oct 12

• MiDiaN
  Interesting to see Lotus this high on the scoreboard! The thing is, once the top pipsqueaks realize they can’t earn more than 1 PTB, there’s no point in sending more replays. That’s one of the drawbacks of this system.
• HerrNove
  Note that the Lotus is the “James Bond edition”, with special grip values on dirt – a game-changer on this track. Arg is already champion so no point system can motivate him, but surely a different PTB system might produce more action at the top of the board, before the quiet days come.
• Argammon
  Just for the sake of teasing HerrNove. ;-)
  1:13.85
• HerrNove
  I'm at the end of my resources, unfortunately. But I'd love to see the Turbo Esprit win, so I hope at least one of the Three Tenors will consider my lap time and extrapolate what could be attained with this car in more skilled hands

Oct 13

• stanceboyCZ
  How is it with the Renault 5? Still working at it ?
• Shoegazing Leo
  Stingray could be faster if choose the right car.
  2:18.00 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Testing all possible cars, but very late
  1:46.62 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  hmmm
  1:41.02 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Mark did a very strong lap
  1:34.02 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Wow... I'm better at attempt 4 yet
  1:40.79 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  4 is slightly faster
  1:34.13 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Seven is the faster now
  1:31.87 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Seven sill better
  1:37.89 A
• Shoegazing Leo
  Seven faster than nine
  1:40.32 A

  Nine hours left, and still such a mixed scoreboard 😮
• dreadnaut
  The Lotus is such a fun car!

• dreadnaut
  Ten minutes to go ⌛ Join us on the chat for the replay reveal!

Oct 19

• dreadnaut
  Quiet replays revealed!
• dreadnaut
  And scoreboard confirmed! Congratulations to @Argammon, @MiDiaN and @Duplode — three great laps in different ways, go have a look!
• dreadnaut
  Strong result by @HerrNove again, who tops the Amateur podium. And well done to @MortimerMcMire and @Ryoma too! Each with a different car 💥
• KyLiE
  Congratulations to @Argammon, @MiDiaN and @Duplode! Also, well done @HerrNove!
• MiDiaN
  Congratulations @Argammon! My mistake to not even try the Carrera, lol 😆
• MiDiaN
  wow from that corkscrew into the water. No idea how you even come up with that. well deserved
• Alain
  Dear Argammon, you didn’t just win, you crafted and hacked your victory. Second by second, you carved time from the competition’s grip, turning the track into your AI canvas. Five seconds: a blink in a life, but an eternity in the story of racing. That’s not just a lead. That’s a legacy. Congratulations on proving that true speed isn’t just about holding the gas pedal; it’s about the patience to steal time itself. With respect and a tip of the bleu-blanc-rouge 🇫🇷 helmet, Alain il Professore. PS: Enjoy the F3 view from the top and no sound, it’s where shortcut finding legends like you belong.
• Overdrijf
  Wait, @Alain, AI canvas? Did someone not do their own driving? Do we need rules for an AI league?
• Argammon
  Thanks everyone for the congratulations. Great Lotus laps @MiDiaN, @Duplode, and @Herr Nove. I really enjoyed driving -driving- on this track @dreadnaut. In particular, I enjoyed that there were so many options to explore.
• Argammon
  @Overdrifj: Seriously?
• dreadnaut
  Glad I made an enjoyable track this time, with multiple viable cars. I tried this recipe for the coefficients: drive decent test laps, remove ten seconds from the results, and balance coefficients to get the corrected times as close as possible, with some extra for the cars I wanted to see ahead. In theory PG cars should have been viable, but close to the ones we saw on the podium.
• Alain
  @Overdrijf AI driving is happening at trackmania but let's not be pArAnO at our little game of Stunts.
• dreadnaut
  The track has also a mix of slow driving, aerial work, and top-speed sections, to give most cars some advantage. Fast cars suffered on the dirt road, but had more ramps to exploit 🚀
• Alain
  Congratulations @Ryoma for the podium at amateur league, I know how much this success counts for you! 😘
• Ryoma
  Thanks @Alain but I had few time to race...maybe 3 days of 1 hour.
• Argammon
  Dear @Alain, since the meaning of your post is not that easy to understand for a non-native speaker like me, could you please elaborate what you are trying to say? In particular, what do you mean by "turning the track into your AI Canvas" and "crafted and hacked your victory"? PS: I rarely drive in F3 view.
• Alan Rotoi
  That trick deserved a win. Congratulations @Argamon! Also a special congratulation to @HerrNove, you're racing without a team and gaining a lot of experience the hard way! Every month with a stronger replay, now in the 5th place on the season's standings! We have a new generation of racers here and they keep comming! We have to analyze when it started.
• HerrNove
  @Argammon, congratuations for securing your championship title in such a masterful way! I have not yet had time to watch your replay, but after trying for an hour to do some special trick with the second cork I am excited to read that you did it and look forward to download your .RPL! A pity that not everyone appreciated your work of art but, I would say, the loss is on them. /// @Alan, thanks for the compliments! My season's target was to get promoted out of the amateurs and this 5th place means I am now mathematically sure of that, so I'm pretty happy of my season. I hope next year you find the time to return among the leaders, your Youtube replay of Dopamine Pathways is my favourite!
• Duplode
  Indeed @HerrNove, congratulations on ensuring your graduation!
• Mortimer McMire
  Congratulations on all the holders of the podium places! And as said by many before me: A special congrats to @herrnove. With a 9-1 head to head in your favor in the AM-League, your title is well deserved! Now the long wait begins who (after @Ryoma last year and @Herrnove this year) will better me next year !
• Alain
  @Argammon: turning the track into your AI canvas means that your brain is so smart that it finds the shortcuts like an AI would do. and crafted and hacked means that you hacked your way thru the track, by finding unique shortcuts (hacking with an axe the shortest way) instead of driving the fast and hard way. This is your quality and I hope people understand how rare a quality it is! ❤️
• MiDiaN
  So the next track's by @Zapper, right? Last time he created ZCT280, and @Argammon had an amazing race on it with the Indy. Definitely worth a watch!
• Overdrijf
  I understand my reaction to Alain caused a minor disturbance. My apologies, I was merely confused as to what they meant.
• Argammon
  I did not realize that @HerrNove finally gained his well-deserved promotion. As others have said, this is an amazing accomplishment given that you race without a team. Thanks for the clarifications @Alain and @Ovewrdrifj. I figure I am sometimes a bit sensitive -- in particular when stressed.
• Ryoma
  @Mortimer McMire next year will be the good one BUT carefull with your XP points. In french, we say that you have to manage the goat and the cabbage.
• Duplode
  @MiDiaN Yup: ZCT292 is Zapper's Skilious, and it's now open for racing!
• Spoonboy
  Congrats to all, and thankyou @dreadnaut for an amazing track! Your explanation of the coefficients calculations was very interesting and really worked well for this race. This method is worth considering for others making future tracks. Good for many cars, and many styles. Enjoyed my GAR laps and pleased with the results!

• HerrNove
  I had almost managed a wonderful trick with the loop and the tunnel... looking forward to see it executed this month
  1:54.29
• MiDiaN
  very slippery!
  1:50.88
• Mark Nailwood
  Ok, first try ...
  1:49.15 A
• Ryoma
  @Mortimer McMire @HerrNove we want to see some blood !!!!
• Argammon
  I do not think the LM002 will win this race either...
  1:39.50
• Spoonboy
  I agree
  1:41.32

Oct 21

• Duplode
  @Argammon's ZCT291 winning line is as good as advertised: fabulous use of the ramp shadow! Another beautiful little thing was the perfectly judged finish to @MiDiaN's Mercedes lap (six tenths there relative to my DTM lap).
• Duplode
  @HerrNove Nice timestamp on your Lotus replay!
  1:37.05
• HerrNove
  @Duplode PTB optimization Though PTB minutes are more just a personal challenge now, since the final standings seem quite set. I was not aiming to be so precise; started my run at 23:30 after a busy Sunday and rushed the end when I saw that midnight was approaching. Thanks for providing some reference points with the Mercedes, I was feeling quite lost
