Car choice? It won't be that easy...
To summarize it a bit (for newbies):
Acura NSX (bonus: 20 %)
20 percent seems to be not enough, even if Acura has a great low speed powergear function. Anyway it's a good choice for less experienced drivers, if they use the longer & faster way or 5-8th place pipsqueaks for the shorter version.
Audi Quattro (bonus: -1 %)
This car is sleeping for 4-6 months...
Chevrolet Corvette (bonus: -8 %)
6-8 months...
Ferrari GTO (bonus: 19 %)
Good for funny replay and powergear magic (long way), but it can't score this time.
Jaguar XJR9 IMSA (bonus: 16 %)
Almost proper for this track - too bad, P962 has slightly better bonus. Don't use this one for a serious lap.
Lamborghini Countach (bonus: 1%)
Zak (and other Countach fans = mad pipsqueaks) has to wait at least 8-10 months for this car.
Lancia Delta Integrale (bonus: 34 %)
Good choice for any drivers for the shorter way (easy handling, excellent turning ability), but I don't suggest it for the other one.
Lamborghini LM002 (bonus: 12 %)
Fuckin' slow.
Nissan Skyline (bonus: 18 %)
Ignore it now. Maybe in May. Or June.
Porsche 962 IMSA (bonus: 18 %)
Another excellent choice, the good acceleration pays a lot on a slow track.
Porsche Carrera (bonus: 39 %)
Almost as good as the Lancia - just a bit better bonus and a bit lower top speed.
Porsche March Indy (bonus: -17 %)
245 mph in the long straights is still not enough.
Speedgate XSD (bonus: -8 %)
Even if it has better bonus and acceleration than Indy, I can't suggest this one.
Superkart (bonus: 11 %)
It isn't worth to try this month.
Ferrari F40 (bonus: 27 %)
Another possibility for any pipsqueaks, bonus / acceleration / handling trio seems to be almost ideal.
Lotus Esprit Turbo (bonus: 29 %)
Only for the fans, Lotus has no chance this time.
I like to use classic cars, I don't know why. :-\
Track analysis / hints? We should bring back this kind of help for less experienced pipsqueaks. Like in 2002.
Yes you definitely should do some analysis for me! :) btw - Ferrari or Porsche?
Lancia :D

Acura is very slow now.
Elég volt ebb?l a pályából 10 óra is.
Please use English outside the Hungarian Chat forum. Thanks.
I hate my own tracks. And only South American pipsqueaks are able to win them...
ZCT 52: 5th (Ayrton, Argammon, Akoss Poo, Gutix)
ZCT 59: 5th (Ayrton, Renato Biker, Alain, Bonzai Joe)
ZCT 68: 5th (Renato Biker, Alain, Ayrton, Chulk)
ZCT 85: 3rd (Ayrton, Alan Rotoi)
ZCT 95: 3rd (Duplode, Bonzai Joe)
ZCT 110: 4th (Gutix, AbuRaf70, Duplode)
Damn, I forgot this one. ;D
Friker is crying ---> he'll do 48.55 at the end.

I wish that was true. :) but - if Bonzai Joe and Alan Rotoi won't send replay I can be third. :) My first podium? :)
If... -- drop the conditionals and go gunning for it! There are 68 time units between your lap and CTG's, that's quite some margin to chip away.
I can't promise that I won't send a replay, although it is highly likely that I will forget to. Anyway you don't become a winner by hoping :-P
except if you are participating in a hoping competition.

hoping, blaming, whining and crying :) unfortunetely there's quite correlation between me and my bachelor thesis resting in peace :)

Good point! Shall we start one? Friker will be the favourite, but we can try our best...
I hope to see Lise naked... ;D
Btw I wonder about the section times. Expect an analysis from me.
Parabéns Duplode! jaja Congrats!! This night I'll watch your rpl and maybe a try to zct 128.
Nobody could complete the trick I expected: magic carpet around 12-13 seconds. Almost did it... :-\
That's why the competition is very interesting when you build the track. The people finds other ways, does tricks you never imagine, etc.
I thought about that immediately, but none of the relevant cars are good at magic carpets - especially not the F40. I couldn't lift it a centimer off the ground at all (except using ramps :P). I also thought about a flying finish at the end, which would save many seconds. Wasn't even close to pulling it off...

I have to disagree. If you jumped on the tunnel's edge, it was possible to make decent jumps. Only the angle failed in my case.
