New season is coming right after the end of USL 2008 - less than 5 days left. Prepare for a really fast P962 track!
Spy satellite was in action again... ;)
Very long track. :o

Very long track. :o
If you think so... Test lap: ~1:35.
That is quite long with the P962 :) But it looks interesting! And I don't remember driving the P962 since the ISM final. Will be nice to use it again...
Track will be released tonight... ;)
Three... two... one... ACTION!!!
Ladies and gentlemen, I'm proud to announce the first track of the new UnskilledStunts season! ;)
Track name: Arad
Track designer: CTG
Car of the race: Porsche 962 IMSA
Difficulty: 4/5
Predicted winning time: 1:24.00
Deadline: 7th November 2008, midnight (Hungarian time)
Great news! :) although I'll only start racing for real in a week or so (need to focus on FTT#8 and find the way on Z88 first...)
I already feel the disadvantage of no LTB bonus... But at least there's a chance for everybody to lead the scoreboard a bit. ;)
Yes, it's true. I couldn't finish the promised replay because I had some power issues and I won't be home with time to race until tomorrow night.

Special award goes to the driver with the highest overall leading time hours! Not bonus points but a nice certificate after this season... ;)
What about a podium/TOP5 and time prediction game in an organized way with exact pointsystem? ;)
How about some people racing on the track?
Come on, everyone! >:(

Do you accept a positive comment about the track as substitute, at least for a while? :) The initial 30'' section, with the multi-loop combo, is really great - one of the best I can remember from USx tracks. It definitely makes my attitude towards this IMSA race more positive.

This combination was my dream for ages... I tried to make one o Tarján track too with less success - now this one hits. ;)
Thanks.
11 days left and still a big silence. Chulk? dstien? Krys? Zak? Ayrton? Akoss? :-\
It's a hard track for a championship claiming to celebrate the unskilled. I'll see if I can get below 3 minutes. :D

Come on, it's not that hard to complete the big loop jumps! ;)
Still struggling with last loop go-through, tunnel part. Will send it as soon as I finish it.

Great news, although that part mustn't be so hard for such an experienced driver. ;)
BJ: now it's your turn... :)
Okay...
The days of racing in Stunts competitions just because racing is fun seem to be over.

What should it mean? Who forced the drivers to take the races seriously? ;)
Because of the low activity in the first race I'm planning to raise te level with a symbolic prize for the final winner of the competition... Currency would be BEER. ;D (kidding)
Chulk: don't forget to send the promised replay... :)
Right! 4 days to go. I'll try to improve, but I have a finished replay already...

Quote from: Chulk on November 05, 2008, 03:25:46 AM
Bye bye stunts replays for this weekend deadlines! My HD failed and I can't start my PC. I'm using my brother's computer but as it is still in guarrantee, I can't open the case to put my HD as slave, and installing/downloading is absolutely forbiden, so no stunts for me unless I buy a new HD for my PC and put mine as slave there...
Somehow I felt I have to warn you for replay sending... :-\ Let's hope you'll be able to race soon!
Nice track, one of the best seen in USC ever.

You have still some time to reconsider your decision and join. I think Duplode and Bonzai Joe will be happy with such a strong opponent. ;)
In the private messages we have exchanged each other 15 days ago, I made quite clearly my thoughts about my participation at USC, and I don't want to repeat here them. Due to your way to manage USC, I took the decision to retire myself from the past championship, and that decision has been absolutely irrevocable. As I said, I have only one word. Sincerly, I don't think that my participation in this new season would be very congruent with my past choice. And trust is not a thing that comes and goes as you could get with a switch. When trust is gone, time is needed to recover what is lost. But I want to interpret some your little signes I see in last days as a evidence of willingness towards a new kind of relation between us, hoping they are not a way to bring me again in your contest in order to make it more filled. For this reason, thinking also to the interest of the community and privileging a sane challenge respect the contentions, I think I could reconsider my current position even if my reserves obviously could not disappear. What I think in this moment is that, anyway, I won't race for the title. The way I felt to be used in the past is a sensation I still feel too strong to be forgotten. But, in order to promote a good feeling between community members, not penalizing the right spirit that have to be present between all drivers, I could take part in some races, mainly when the track-car combo will arouse in me right feelings to give my best. A different way to live USC races for me in the future is in your hands.

Welcome back! ;)
Results... dunno when, because of my computer problems. 10 pipsqueaks on the track (9 pipsqueaks you can already see on the scoreboard + Mark). Without Stunts, I can't evaluate replays (and don't want to download the game here). Be patient, please! Thank you advance!

... and Chulk? :-\
I'm there too, maybe he forgot...

I thought I updated the site with your result before the crash - so yes, Chulk is there too. ;)
If it's okay for you, I can update the results HERE (no webeditor, no web files, forgot the password of my FTP access - it was automatically connecting for ages with the same ???ftp.ini file)! I'll do it in half an hour... ;)
So the official results of Arad track:
| no. | name | time |
| 1 | Bonzai Joe | 1:24.00 |
| 2 | CTG | 1:24.30 |
| 3 | Duplode | 1:26.80 |
| 4 | Chulk | 1:28.60 |
| 5 | Mark L. Rivers | 1:28.75 |
| 6 | Super Brian | 1:31.20 |
| 7 | AbuRaf 70 | 1:32.20 |
| 8 | Krys Toff | 1:40.35 |
| 9 | dstien | 1:44.50 |
| 10 | Pavekiller | 1:44.95 |
Average time (if not mistyped in my phone's calculator :D): 1:32.565
Average time - winning time: 8.565
+ 4 bonus points (5%): 1:24.45 (Bonzai Joe, CTG)
+ 3 bonus points (20%): 1:25.70 (-)
+ 2 bonus points (50%): 1:28.30 (Duplode)
+ 1 bonus point (100%): 1:32.55 (Chulk, Mark L. Rivers, Super Brian, AbuRaf 70)
pipsqueaks standings: Bonzai Joe 20 pts, CTG 18 pts, Duplode 14 pts, Chulk 11 pts, Mark L. Rivers 9 pts, Super Brian 7 pts, AbuRaf 70 5 pts, Krys Toff 2 pts, dstien, Pavekiller 0-0 pt. (thinking on extending the pointsystem for 10 pipsqueaks, not sure about it yet: then not 4-2-0-0 but 4-3-2-1 is the 7th-10th place - if you agree with that. Or extending always for the actual number of pipsqueaks with the same modification, just started always from where you can give 1 point for the last place - similar to FTT)
Teams standings: Cork's Crew 20 pts, Looping Warriors 18 pts, Meganium Aces High 16 pts, Damage Inc. 9 pts.
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYBODY, it was really a nice race with great battles - especially for the 8th place between Krys, dstien and Pavekiller!
If you don't see your latest time here, feel free to publish! ;)

I aggree with the point modification proposed : dstein and pavekiller deserve points. Races will be more fond to stay and race regularly if they get points.

Thanks. I think I'll continue this way : almost noRH replays, with just the minimum of RH to avoid restart, but no "high RH" optimization, I'm fed up with that and prefer to "feel" the track instead of optimize it. ;)
May I also note that this is the first time CTG has predicted the exactly correct winning time :o

Yes, and if the Nordic Team proposed by Pavekiller does materialize Damage Inc. will have a pretty busy season... :) ;)
