Title: Top Gear
Post by: CTG on November 11, 2012, 03:42:16 PM
What about making a car ranklist, like they do in 'Top Gear' show? What we need is a simple track (Default?) and a mysterious driver (like The Stig). Of course it would not be an RH test (but having... hmmm... let's say 5 noRH laps and pick the best result from it for the car's list).

To be more precise: first laps were already completed, the (YouTube) show will be on Sunday.

Stig was quite diligent this week, so we can compare some almost equal cars in the next show (weekend). ;)

Is the P962 really faster than the Jaguar XJR? Check it out!

Stig built up two very different laps with these cars: he pushed harder in the first half of the track in P962, while the second half was undoubtly the Jaguar's territory.

Maybe he was running out of track time by the end of the P962 lap. Anyway, interesting to see!

It's also worth to mention the distribution of corner directions - too bad Alain isn't here to talk about it.

Based on the former discussions with several pipsqueaks, I can list about 5 people performing a lot better in left corners than in right. One of them is Alain.

I wonder if it has something with the number of hands used for steering.

Btw have you ever thought on giving names to the Default corners? There's only 6 on the classic line (+a chicane).

Not true! If Chuck Norris did all the runs, they would all be the same time, because there is no way CN would lose...

Chuck Norris doesn't use magic carpets. He stares at the ground and the ground flees from him in terror.

Chuck Norris watched Ayrton's replays and destroyed all those records in noRH -steering with his penis.

- When Chuck Norris hits a stunts element it explodes instead of his car.

- Chuck Norris builds his own tracks when he races over other tracks... and wins!

- Chuck Norris generates power gear in every car he wants, he just kicks the car and it flies.

- When Chuck Norris drives INDY power gear he reaches 246 mph.

- Chuck Norris drives any stunts element like boats, trees or bridges. (CTG, could you make a car with the appearence of a bridge? I guess it's possible xD)

- When Chuck Norris wins a track (always), Joe's opens its doors and he celebrates there.

- Nobody knows how looks the front of Chuck Norris car because nobody surpassed him ever.

- The track "Norris" crosses a swamp, a volcano, a cannibal tribe and stunts valhalla; its extension is 150x150.

- Also Norris track has a unique stunts element called Helen's and it's a cabaret.

- Chuck Norris won a race from the main menu.

- There is a whole code in the physics of the game to "resist" Chuck Norris kick effects.

- Stunts can't save Chuck Norris replays because it can't reproduce his tricks.

- Chuck Norris won all the stunts competitions filling the hole podium, we just race for the 4th place.

- Ayrton saw Chuck Norris car once in the horizon, he "had" to retire.

- Chuck Norris plays Stunts in an Atari 2600.

- Chuck Norris doesn't fasten his seatbelt.

- Chuck Norris doesn't race to the finish line, it comes to him.

Fact: All "bugs" in Stunts are because Chuck Norris designed the physics based on his reality.

This batch of episodes is a great showcase of how diverse Stunts cars are! The 911 Turbo result was interesting to see, having not driven it in anger yet.

One thing I find weird is how hardly any Stunts videos other than Top Gear episodes show up in the related videos sidebar. YouTube tagging seems to have become less effective lately...
