The Skyline approves of this track 

Heh, very good!

That's an interesting point: there must be a model for centripetal force for such situations. Worth investigating...

On the other hand, stunts expresses speeds in miles/h...

Pertinent remark, and also graphic coordinates are in units of 0.2 feet - thus Stunts hackers are recommended to adapt to Imperial units...

P.S. When you were dropping from a hill, how fast where you going? I expect downforce is quite strong in stunts.

It was Countach on Default, so it must have been ~120mph. As far as I remember, though, the results were (barring the usual random bugs) independent of speed. I don't believe there is real downforce in Stunts, just some unreliable aerodynamic drag that sometimes disappears and gives way to Power Gear 

You're on to something. When closing setup in Dosbox it tells me that "setup.dat cannot be created". It might be a problem tha started out by moving from one harddisk to another one time to many, but I doubt it, since reinstalling didn't help either. O, and the file setup.dat does in fact exist, it's not missing. What's it supposed to read when you open it with notepad? Mine reads:

rem 4 1 -1 -1 -1 -1
load.exe /u MCGA  /spc
Stunts
disk 'B'
disk 'B'
tdy.cod

My SETUP.DAT says:

rem 4 4 -1 -1 -1 -1
load.exe /u MCGA  /ssb
Stunts
disk 'B'
disk 'B'
tdy.cod

(I'm under Linux, but to DOSBox/Stunts the files should look the same). The only notable difference (ignoring the /ssb and /spc sound settings) is "rem 4 4" instead of "rem 4 1"; I have no idea on what it does but you could try changing it. If that doesn't do it, I suggest you to delete SETUP.DAT and run the Setup again.

This strongly reminds me of... Speedgate 

Car: Acura NSX or Audi Quattro, your own choice - it seems to be quite balanced for the two cars...

Interesting... of course we could predict there would be a dual-car race (since that vote at the beginning of the season resulted in more cars than tracks), but that you'd pick two of your favourite cars for it is a bit surprising.

Maybe we will have a shorter season (8 races) and no other Unskilled event ever after that...

Due merely to a single bad race?  C'mon, as of now this is a perfectly fine contest...

Not a single one. This season is just a swan song... only a few replays, no real sharp battles.

But Dobsina was an unusually hard track, and Heves was a weird Skoda race that lasted only two weeks. In spite of unsteady activity, Arad and Eszek were reasonably good races. Most next-gen newbies are currently busy with ZakStunts, some of them will find interest in USC eventually. Mainly what's really missing now for balanced competition is someone to occupy the role Mark left, and/or stronger MeganiuM presence.

Anyway, congratulations to Brian. And thanks 

I've driven a relatively serious initial lap on this track. With quite some effort, I did... 2:33.00. There are some interesting difficult passages, but the whole thing is just too bloody long... I'd usually not ask for a callback, but considering the championship situation as a whole I will vote "Yes". Or the track could be modified (by Akoss if possible) to fit in a reasonable length. That would be a good diplomatic solution if you two can find an agreement. Suggestions include creating a bypass through the hills and rejoining at speed at the long tunnel, thus skipping the whole southeastern section, and getting rid of the "Gran Turismo license test" set of corners near the end.

Maybe we will have a shorter season (8 races) and no other Unskilled event ever after that...

Dstien = Daniel Stien
Duplode = Daniel David M?ot Pinheiro ("?" was supposed to be a L-bar)

Yes Duplode, but I miss replay and video for :
- Mark's final time (but I have previous replay and video that were for LTB)
- Zak's time
- Goblin's time
- Satanziege's time

That is half of the participants...
Even if I can keep Mark on the scoreboard (but with a lower time of 59"95, which will mean a 2nd place only), it will reduce the pipsqueaks to 5 instead of 8. Quite disappointed.

That would be quite annoying indeed...  have you PM'ed the concerned pipsqueaks already? Zak most likely will see this anyway; Satanziege and Goblin probably forgot due to not being used to this sort of submission, and Mark in all likelihood has kept the files.

Just confirming: mine has arrived properly, has it?

I want you

to be a woman

Tried to be a son and daughter rolled into one
You said you'd equal any man for having your fun
Now didn't you feel surprised to find
The cap just didn't fit
The world expects a man
To buckle down and to shovel shit
What'll you do for loving
When it's only just begun?
I want you to be a woman

Tried to be a teacher and a fisher of men
An equal people preacher
Will you lead us all the same?
Well I travelled all round the world
A brand new word for day
Watching the time mustn't linger behind
Pardon me I have to get away
What'll you think of heaven
If it's back from where you came?
I want you to be a woman
I want you to be a woman yeah
