If so (and if that is really the name of the track), what about just "Hankey"? A touch of elusiveness makes references more fun anyway. As a bonus, it even fits 8 characters!

Prepare for an easy ZCT 149. ZCT 148 is a difficult and long track, so I decided to confirm my previous idea.
I don't think I ever raced on an easy track by Akoss. That will be interesting to see!

1. The track is not yet ready, only a test version is on my computer since yesterday.
2. CTG is in Munich at the moment since the weekend.
3. Which is the current address of Zak?
Yes, Mr. Dogpee, I already have a maxed out winning replay on X-mas poo track. Wheeeeee ^_^

There is no file attachment option.
Now I have two track versions, I'll decide this week which one to use. One of them is a very plain track with mostly paved big corners.
Damn it! I left the track at work on my computer there... I can only send 'Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo' around 8:30 CET, monday morning. I hope it is not a big problem.

You don't have to hurry, ZCT148 was far the worst race for me in this season. :D
Assuming a pure Jaguar podium for ZCT148 (and satanziege's Countach lap)... Car choice will be extremely track dependent.
1:36.75 - Lamborghini Countach
1:35.25 - Lancia Delta Integrale
1:25.70 - Lamborghini LM-002
1:21.10 - Acura NSX
1:18.95 - Porsche 962 IMSA
1:12.30 - Lotus Esprit Turbo
1:11.45 - Audi Quattro Sport
1:11.45 - Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
1:11.45 - Ferrari F40
1:05.95 - Ferrari GTO
1:03.85 - Porsche Carrera
1:02.50 - Porsche March Indy
1:02.50 - LWT ZR1-GT3 Mark II (still can't remember the correct order ::) ;D)
55.05 - Jaguar XJR9 IMSA
54.55 - Melange XGT-88
52.65 - McLaren Honda MP4/4

GTO, Corvette: no powergear availability for these cars, no chance
Lancia, Acura: too slow acceleration
Countach, Indy or P962 I think are the three most probable cars. Countach might miss bonus percentages stolen by Satanziege, while Indy might miss good powergear availability. My bet is P962, but we'll see. I haven't tested the track car-by-car.
Balance of right and left corners?

Don't you know your own track? :P
(And you used to play Stunts even at your workplace, so check it... 30 seconds work, not more.)
1 paved left
1 sharp left
2 sharp right
2 elevated right
1 banked right
1 double right
3 paved right

Muhaha, somebody built an anti-CTG track. Expect no replays from me. (Congratulations to Yellow Fleas for the team championship title.)
It's too early to cry CTG wait for 1 week before deadline as usual.

This is really a piece of crap. I`m at 1:08 now, but won't send it in.

Even Dreadnaut is better than you then. We're at 51-53 seconds.
I mean 1:08 as a pure lap without bonus.

With the same effort: 1:05 on a mirrored version. ::)
Do you consider this as cheating?
To Rotoi: I mean the digital speedometer and not my whole participation in any competitions.
Quote from: CTG on December 10, 2013, 12:36:02 PM
Do you consider this as cheating?
Yes, I do. The same would go for any other extraneous visual aids.
Why always pushing the limits?
Quote from: alanrotoi on December 10, 2013, 07:28:39 PM
Why always pushing the limits?
That's why I asked, before sending the first digital speedometer lap.
Question B: does it change anything if I publish the digital speedometer patch and everybody can use it?
Question C: do you also consider "mirror" controls as cheating? (re-mapping keyboard, mirroring screen)
Quote from: CTG on December 10, 2013, 10:21:54 PM
Question B: does it change anything if I publish the digital speedometer patch and everybody can use it?
That would merely incite others to break the rules as well. (Unless Zak and everyone else somehow buy into the idea. Hopefully not...)
Quote from: CTG on December 10, 2013, 10:21:54 PM
Question C: do you also consider "mirror" controls as cheating? (re-mapping keyboard, mirroring screen)
Mirroring the screen would be stealth track modification. Remapping seems fair to me, though I guess that mirroring just the controls wouldn't help much :D
Why don't you just race?
Quote from: alanrotoi on December 11, 2013, 12:32:53 AM
Why don't you just race?
I do. The speedometer thing was a plan. If I wanted to cheat, I would never ask about its "legal status".
You need another slap from Mark L. Rivers.

That's not necessarily true, and you, as an attorney, should realize why.
To have this as a proof you were not cheating is not valid, as it proofs nothing. It just generates a false feeling of trust based on a false confession.
Anyway, Car modifications are strictly forbidden by Zak's rules, so I would consider the speedometer cheating.
As per track mirroring, I think of it being "at least" immoral, for as it is not forbidden by rules it cannot be labelled as "illegal".
Key remapping is ok

Attorney... bah. My brain is still working as a researcher / chemical engineer. About your opinion: what should I do now? How do you know that I haven't used this aid since I have CarBlaster or Stressed? Since I'm far the most unfair person in the community (or at least from the revealed liars... khm...), you won't believe what I say. And even if I use this patch, nobody will be able to detect it, since the modification had no effect on the car's performance. So... whatever. I consider it as a visual aid, just like a mirror or little crosses drawn on the border of track field squares.

Not track mirroring, but SCREEN MIRRORING, combined with keyboard remapping.

We don't. It's a trust based system so it's a moral call for you to make.

True, I guess a video is the only believable proof but we cannot demand it so, again, it's a moral issue.

That's what I meant, sorry.
It reminds me a bit on Mingva's "discovery" about advanced RH, although this one has a lot smaller impact. Since we can't avoid the usage, it should be legalized.
Time to get proper doping on the track. It can't be avoided! :D

Silent night...
As a "happy end", I could mirror a replay completed on a mirrored track - in hexeditor. The hardest part was to set the car to the middle of the road after 2.5-3.0 seconds. After that... well... 30 minutes driving (all the lefts completed over 170 mph), 10 minutes of editing. I won't send that replay, although it's under 1:05.
