@MiDiaN thank you! The wiki has some infos over PG (https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Power_gear ), but the driving experience is something you must experience for yourself. Even just driving on flatland feels very alien, and if you take a jump... well, suffices to see last month's winning replay I am not surprised that @Argammon is going to hide the secret sauce he's preparing with a (I guess) blue car.

Finally we are seeing PG laps in this race. I have the least experience in these types (I don't even know which cars can have pg) so let's see if I can keep up. @HerrNove! What a rookie star! Good lap!

@Herr Nove, I will add a new color after the public days making it even more colorful

I was expecting a Oxia supremacy but the leaderboard is much more multicolor than I thought. Congrats @Duplode for posting the first competitive lap using power gear, and with a car with manual penalty on top of it!

This is such an interesting race!

@Argammon Yes, last night I tried to re-run progressively longer parts of the replay, but it seems in this one the stars aligned particularly well and allowed me to set a time which is better that what my current skill level would permit. Building a new lap from scratch with a similar time will probably take me a lot of time (the cork jump alone required 2 hours of attempts); I'll see I can find some free time in the following weeks. But I'm actually fine with my current position, I have some hope to end in 6th place and get my first +1 XP – only the tiny gap from the position above is a little regret-inducing.

@HerrNove: Sometimes it is better to start a new replay from scratch than trying to milk the last 0.05 seconds from an existing replay. Regarding the Camaro it is worth noting MiDiaN did not use the cork slide jump yet. So, he can definitely improve his time.
