Wrong. Akoss Poo has several candidates - even a funny one.
Well, we will take a trip with the war hit Bosnia-Herzegovina, namely to the famous historic city of Mostar with the Audi. By the way it is a beautiful city I've already been to, I'm recommending it to be visited by everyone.

OK, I'm in too. Here is my first completed lap.
And should we believe that?

Well, I said "first
completed lap". There were several crashes, spins and finish line misses preceding it ;)
Well, I only consider Bonzai Joe as a better no-RH than myself (well, when I drink, Zak can also beat me, and I know that CTG also improved much), and even he can't give me that much time difference... that turned out on WSMs. My first completed lap was 2:03, and 1:52 was my sixth one, and I felt that a very good one. It would have been much less prominent, and I might have believed your time, if you had sent 1:55 for first lap...

I think it's all just a question of racing session management:
- Unless it's a live race or if I'm really short of time, I tend not to bother with completing "survival mode" or otherwise obviously weak laps. With a different approach I would probably have had a larger number completed laps before the current one.
- It took me about half an hour to drive that lap. When racing not-live NoRH I usually take my time, spending a few minutes with stupid crashes and unnecessary risks before settling into a rhythym and picking my driving lines. (And conversely, I often have problems when live racing due to lack of concentration and/or taking too long to find said rhythym.)
- Finally, 0.75s of the gap between our laps is merely due to cutting the final loop - something I only managed to do right after ~4 failed attempts.
In any case, I have just had a second session, to validate the explanations above (though by now the circumstances have changed in that I know the track rather well). The final lap took seven consecutive attempts. The six failures were as follows:
- Crash at first bridge corner;
- Crash at the pipe;
- Crash at the second l/r cork (the one before the final sector);
- Crash at first bridge corner again;
- Crash at the first tunnel;
- Completed 1:51.55 lap, missing the loopcut at the end and then going into grass to avoid a crash.
BTW, here is a video: http://youtu.be/tc0fTPtFWvs
All on track with all loops and no Rh. Tomorrow i'll race on "normal" style.
If just no Rh, I'll do one more lap now.

Yup - just NoRH, all cuts OK as usual.
11 seconds better than the first
Update (and probably a new lap) in the evening.

Vector's message is removed. Please do this kind of messaging in private. Thank you!
1:50.45, nth try, lucky-lucky loops. To go further, I need manual gears.
n is somewhere between 1 and 20. A lot closer to the latter one.
Duplode's time is not as hard as it seemed to be - even without a loopcut. (And after 30 mins of trying... ::))
Any opportunist RH drivers to take the lead? Dreadnaut? AbuRaf?
I crashed at the last tunnel on my 1:49.75 lap... Main improvement: sharp corner after the corkscrew.
First lap, without replay handling. ;)
Amigos.... no se si recuerdan que yo tengo 81 años... ya no estoy para hacer una vuelta noRH... gracias que luego de muchos choques, puedo hacer una vuelta completa...

NoRH is optional. Of course you can use as much RH as you want.
1:50.10 - I made a safety finish to get the high score for sure.
More or less the same lap as the previous, but this time I kept full pace at the end.
1:46.00, pretty difficult already. No loopcut - I dropped it momentarily after wasting a 1:45.xx lap.
Not wasting my 1:45... :D
I'll send my 1:33 tonight, without replay handling... just a few more tries...

(Fortunately I am, for some reason, driving much better today than in Tuesday, with far fewer stupid mistakes at the easy parts of the lap. Maybe it's just that I feel less stressed overall.)

O RLY?
Instead of creating semi-RH replays and selling here as no-RH laps, let me start the race with a beginning auto trm RH lap.
Btw shame on Duplode and CTG... but is there anyone who believed their 'no-RH' laps? I would give them the 'Argammon of the year' title.
Btw what is semi-RH? Even a single rewind is RH, without semi. :D

Well, things like that. When you rewind back a few times and you think 'I would have also driven that without replay handling on a lucky day'. But using this too much would give you a starting real replay handling lap. Following a strict rule, yes, each rewind would make the lap a RH lap instead of a semi-RH lap.
Well... Then here is my first semi-RH lap. :D

"I haven't done it, therefore it must be impossible" is a rather unimaginative attitude. For the sake of completeness, here is a recording of a 1:42.85 (http://youtu.be/VHyER9OGz-8), done a short while ago. The only significant difference to CTG's 1:41.35 is that I didn't get enough speed from the banked bumps near the end - at 1:28.00 we are at the same track position.
Btw here is a 83.46 ± 0.02% RH lap :)
Here is a 100% illusion replay.
Estoy muy contento, ya que por primera vez, dos grandes como DUPLODE y CTG, copiaron mis pases por los dos LOOPS... es como si hubiese ganado la carrera....

I won't take the lead as long as Duplode is injured. Unless he's okay with that.

Do as you feel like, I won't complain either way. If all goes to plan my shoulder should be good enough to race again one or two days before the March 20th deadline.
SERVICE MESSAGE:
The race continues from today, 14:20 (as the suspension was officially announced at 14:20, on 12th March). New deadline: 10th April 2015, midnight.
The site moved to http://unskilledstunts.atw.hu. I asked Duplode to remove the original site files from Zak's FTP and replace it with a redirection link to the new place.

Thank you very much! Btw it was sent in e-mail (to yourname_number@yahoo.com.yourcountrycode).
QuoteHello!
Thank you for your e-mail. Of course the competition will be finished in a proper way. I don't know whether Akoss Poo wants to keep racing or not.
I just moved the site to http://unskilledstunts.atw.hu, so web hosting is not a critical issue anymore (yeah, the ad banner is annoying). About replay management: if Zak accepts my forum registration or sets back my original account, I can continue it in the usual way. If not, I would like to ask you to send me the uploaded replays with date once a week. In the latter case, my own replays would be published on the website. And one more thing: if you have an access to Zak's FTP, please remove the content of unskilled folder (you can make a backup if you want) and add a blank HTML with the ATW link. Thank you in advance!
About future plans: after the end of USC #100, the ATW site will be also removed (probably with a few weeks delay), but I'll prepare a well-detailed archive in PDF for Stunts Wiki, so nothing will be lost. My pending Stunts projects... well... they won't ever be finished. If you are interested in any of the unfinished cars/other vehicles, just sign (see the list below). However, some of them have a wrong size (too tall) and they have no custom dashboard at all, so they are more or less useless.
- 9 aircrafts ("cheated" weight because of the limited torque values)
- Trabant 601 (~25 HP "strong" wreck from the good old DDR, ~65 mph top speed, Countach-like anti powergear behaviour on ramps)
- Skoda 120 (slightly better communist car with ~110 mph top speed)
- Subaru Impreza WRX (too tall, should be re-designed a bit)
- Dodge Challenger R/T Hardtop from 1970 (my personal favorite from the pack, it looks quite cool in dark purple)
- Porsche 550 Spyder (another too tall vehicle... but since it's an opened car, maybe it doesn't disturb that much)
- Rolls Royce Phantom (quite a huge one, with extremely bad cornering)
- Ferrari 156 F1 "Sharknose" from 1961, kind of new Superkart (<500 kg, decent acceleration, but worse corner grip)
- Top Fuel dragster (accelerates like the Niva, brakes like Speedgate and turns like Ikarus)
- 3D shape update to Lada Niva Comeback and Knight Rider (Pontiac Firebird TransAm 1982, with KITT's scanner)
- Roller, bike and Flinstone car 3D shapes
Best regards,
CTG

Thanks for telling me of those plans. I consider it vital that at least the race archives of USx remain accessible in some manner, and I will see that it happens through the Wiki and/or Southern Cross.

Well, DUP, I see you lurking around here... but your replay is strong enough to feel safe I think... at least I can't catch you.
Somebody downloaded my Mostar3 replay, but not my Mostar2 replay. Don't you think that my Mostar2 replay is a replay with a huge brake in the end, but in real, a better one than Mostar3? This time it is not the case, but I was thinking about fooling you this way many times. :-)
