I feel the "Xylocaine problem" raised in ZakStunts news is worth a non-binding opinion poll. Relevant quotes, for the sake of completeness:

Quote from: Duplode
Will we *ever* have a Xylocaine race? Should Zak just ban it outright, or alternatively set a month apart for it so that we brace ourselves in advance?
Quote from: Akoss Poo
DUP: Xylocaine race... well, maybe as a bonus track, outside the championship, after ZCT173 finished and there are still 12 days in the year. Just an idea.
Quote from: Marco
Why? Whatvis the xylocaine problem?
Quote from: Duplode
@Marco: Easy handling plus weird powergear, likely requiring a special-purpose, carefully designed track to make the race enjoyable.
Quote from: Akoss Poo
Because racing the Xylocaine is rather about digging deep into the weird and UNREAL physics of the car instead of fast/technical driving. I think Stunts is not about this.

My vote went to Option 5, for various reasons - including that I really like the idea of a ZCTP4  :)

Also Option 5. I would also call it ZCTP4. IMO it shouldn't count into the championship. First week of 2016 can also be the part of the Xylocaine race.

I suppose a well designed track could be fun even as part of the season. Maybe an anti-Xylo track, leaving some hope for other cars? :P

I agree with a ZCTP4 race at the end of the year. It may count for the championship just like the previous zctp (plus tracks from 2002). I don't see any problem as the final match for the title :)

I don't think it should count, as it is a little late for changing the season schedule.

What happend?

Not very much. There was no Xylocaine race in 2015 (thanks in part to bonus corrections), and its contract wasn't renewed for 2016.
