Title: new cars for 2011
Post by: zaqrack on October 12, 2010, 09:04:54 AM
My plans:

I want to finally complete the car count to 15.
The Ranger will be dropped out of the available cars. I want to keep cars real. Speedgate and Skyline are expected to stay.
That means we need two new cars.

One of them will be the Lotus Esprit. Sorry this is a must... :)
The other is up for a vote. Which car would you prefer?

Being me, I have to vote for me. Cause if I don't believe in me, than who will?
However, I'dd really like to see the xylocaine in there too, it's lots of fun to race.

I am inclined to vote for the F40, but I'd prefer to hear a bit more from Zapper on what would be the expected performance specs before committing a vote... other options would be the Kart (good replacement for the Ranger IMO) and the Xylocaine.

By the way: I know it doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being chosen, but can I suggest adding the ZR1 GT3 into this poll?  :)

*Starts campaigning*
Vote for the kart!
Vote for the kart!
*Hands out flyer*
Kart for competitioncar!
*Steps on a crate*
Do you want another one of those big cars? No you don't! Okay, fair is fair, yes you do, but don't you want a superkart too? Don't let your vote go to waste and vote for something different this time, for what the competition does not have already, for high acceleration and tight cornering. Vote for the only car that will let you do a decent loopcut without hours uhhh minutes of trying. Vote now for surprising times on slow tracks, and for hours and hours of karting fun. Vote superkart for Zakstunts competitioncar. Thank you.
*Gets off crate*

So, now let's see the competitors campaigns. ;)

By the way, I'll consider my second project disqualified under the realism rule, even if I do finish it before december. ;)

If at the end of the month it's still about this close, can I suggest making it 16 cars?
(It's a win-win. You're obviously so impressed with the Lotus that you're expecting the same quality from the F-40, and I can still ask this question without sounding like a poor loser while the kart is in the lead. Besides, I'll be happy with more good cars too.)

Just an extra observation: with 16 cars it might be a good idea to change the bonus system a bit in order to slow down the growth of the coefficients (maybe changing the progression from 2...4 to 1...3).

And by the way Zak, would it be possible to leave the poll open for a couple more days, maybe to the 3rd of November or so? I am thinking on the people which will come back to the site with their replays by the deadline and might miss the vote.

Ah well, mine would still be the first with powershifting.

By the way: ferrari in the lead again and a 3rd competitor , it's getting exiting!

With the F40 around, I'd consider necessary making this one as a counterpart  :)

CTG once did a 3D model prototype, and then I promised to help with the .RES parameters eventually. That was about two years ago...  ::) As far as I know, though, there is no finished project ATM.

Last day of voting!

(Yes, I realise that from my personal viewpoint it is a bad idea to post a reminder when already tied for first place, but hey, more votes might lead to more happy pipsqueaks, and that's the goal of the poll.)

It's funny how every serious poll held here seems to end in a draw...  :D

Post by: zaqrack on November 04, 2010, 04:28:22 PM
I have a proposal:

The kart will be the 15th car, and if case the F40 is finished in time and meets the expectations, we will have a 16th :)

For you Zak, I'm breaking out my favorite smiley:

(http://politics.lunitechs.be/images/smilies/cheer.gif)16 cars!(http://politics.lunitechs.be/images/smilies/cheer.gif)

(http://politics.lunitechs.be/images/smilies/cheer.gif)Jeeh for an extra ferrari!(http://politics.lunitechs.be/images/smilies/cheer.gif)

Who knows, this may even lead to Crashper finally winning a race, even though it's in a different form. ;)

Just an extra observation: with 16 cars it might be a good idea to change the bonus system a bit in order to slow down the growth of the coefficients (maybe changing the progression from 2...4 to 1...3).

It could even be changed down more, just 1 and 2 or something. The bonusses will change less and that leads to more cars having a fighting chance in the average race. Of course some cars are better suited for some tracks than others, so it will never be completely fair, but still...

The downside is that with more cars having a chance, you don't force people as much to pick a different type of car ones in a while. if you want to encourage using as many different cars as possible, the percentages should stay a bit bigger.
