Competition 2020 / ZCT222 - Defensive driving
February 03, 2020, 12:39:20 AM
No track thread yet? Where's everyone? :)

I like the fort shape, but I every shortcut I try in the pit gives me penalty. I wonder if Overdrijf is hiding something good... :P

Can I book 226 - May?
Have a great track ready!
How do I submit the track file?

Sure, May is yours!

For the track, I'll make a page where it can be submitted, so we solve the email problem :)

Uhm, with a small kid around, don't you need something more solid? :P

Slightly older Thinkpads are heavily discounted, and easy to maintain. For example T580.

I like the idea from the start of the season post to let unused leading hours carry over. That's probably the most realistic option to let LTB hours motivate everyone, if you get 3 days in several races you could still grab points eventually. I'm in favor.

I thought about this a bit more, and came up with these numbers:
- a 28-day race means 672 hours
- we have 12 races, so 8064 hours in a season
- in the existing system, we assign at most 3 LTB points per race, for a total of 36

We could change the system so that one LTB point is assigned as soon as a pipsqueak collects 8064/36 = 224 hours of leading time. We can round that to 240 hours, ten days, so that no-one can collect 3 points in the same race. At most, 33 LTB points will be assigned over the course of a year, with 144 hours left over.

An average of 20 hours per race are enough to collect an LTB point at the end of the season. With the existing system, most of the time, you would need multiple days, and a good amount of luck, across multiple races.

Collected points are carried over to the next race, even across season.

Comments? Graphs? Obvious pitfalls I have not considered?

It's really late tonight. Tomorrow, when I finish work, if nobody has yet posted the pictures, I'll make them :)

Sleep tight, Overdrijf helped :)

I'll start with these ideas:
- rotate the DTM cars, swapping the BMW for the Mercedes
- keep the SuperKart
- replace the Ford Ranger

Following the points above:
- BMW DTM is out, replaced by Mercedes-Benz DTM
- Ford Ranger is out, replaced by the Toyota Sprinter Trueno

Can anyone help with the side pictures for the two new cars? :)

List updated, thanks again everyone :)

Not sure why I forgot about 233... Maybe because 234 is such a great number ;D

I'll start with these ideas:
- rotate the DTM cars, swapping the BMW for the Mercedes
- keep the SuperKart
- replace the Ford Ranger

Rules:
- as a minimum, I would like to fix the LTB code so that it gives consistent results
- what about keeping "unused" LTB hours between races?
- what about "podium time" (first three positions) instead of "leading time" (first only)?

Hello everyone, and welcome to the future!
It's 2020, we all have jetpacks, and robots that serve us cocktails. But we still play Stunts, because some videogames age better than others.

While the game stays the same, the Competition is open to rules changes. This thread is here to collect and discuss suggestions, and also to decide which custom cars will be allowed for the coming season.

Darts are not uncommon in Italy, but I don't see any Italian flags on the championship name list :(

Lot's of people from England though, I suppose those dartboards in pubs are not just for show.
