I've added the pgarage.com file to the downloads at the beginning of this thread. You can place the file with the rest of the package to run Pretty Garage in DOS. Make sure to edit the configuration and set the window size to 800x600 or it'll crash. In later packages, I'll just include the DOS binary with the set.

The style of this track is very good, though, and as I said, we have raced long tracks before.

@taufan99, I made a small modification so the track could run and I tried it. I found it very entertaining, with changes between rally-like and more race oriented sections, so the style is good and compatible with OWOOT, but it's a little long. I recorded 5:13.25 on it with the Jaguar, NoRH, somewhat free-style. I'm uploading the replay. Depending on the car you're considering for the race, I'd say for R4K, it's best to do something in between 1:30 and 2:30. This doesn't mean we can't take it as it is anyway. We've had long races a couple of times!    What car are you thinking of for this track?

Ryoma has used the needle colour mod on several on his cars. I suppose he must have made this one before the mod

Absolutely inhuman, ha, ha. Well, I hit some numbers wrong, but I assure you that you need a very large loop still for that speed. If it were possible to build a stable loop big enough, it would be a lot easier to do the stunt.

Thanks, Zapper!  Yes, I was sure I had skipped it!  It had to be there. I've already obtained it from the CCC Stunts download, but I knew it had to be in the forum. Cheers!

Wow!  Amazing!
Well, acceleration is v squared by radius, so for 245 mph, which are 394 km/h, that is, 1418.4 m/s, we have a = (1418.4 m/s)^2 / r. If we want g force, we need to divide that by gravity acceleration on the surface of Earth, roughly 9.81 m/s^2, so:

g = (2011858.56 m^2/s^2) / (r * 9.81 m/s^2) = 205082.422 m / r

It still depends on the radius. If you don't want to die, but want to make sure you'll get some grip at the top (since actual tangential speed won't be constant), a maximum of some 6g, like in the video, sounds like a safe bet. To make that g value, you'd need a loop to be some 34 km in radius, ha, ha... That square in V really makes a difference!

With a loop that big, the good thing is that it'd be much easier to drive through it and speed would be a lot more constant than in the video, so g force would also be more stable. Then you can afford a bigger loop to have a lower max g as well. The problem is how you will build such a huge loop strong enough to withstand itself and the car.

Duplode, you're better a math guy than I... Let me know if I'm doing my calculations correctly, ha, ha

Hey, guys!  I'm reading the whole post and I can't find (or maybe I stupidly skipped) the binary download for ReStunts with the needle colour mod. Do you guys have it somewhere?

As we discussed, yes, the 19th is a good idea. And it gives us time to prepare tracks

It's a surgical process. Sometimes, what you see in the editor may be deceiving and the resulting composed track piece doesn't work as expected, but some combinations are just perfect.

By the way, did you know that there was a World Stunts Championship?

Only it wasn't really a unified worldwide Stunts championship, but a tournament in itself.

And yes, I agree a broadcasted live event could help raise awareness. Or it could be a recorded one, but with commentary and pause between races if more than one, a time during which the commentators add more details about the community, the event, etc.
