Krys mentioned a long while ago that top leading time = +1 at the end of the month, if I remember correctly.

Yes, being a sub-scoreboard (participation not mutually exclusive) it sounds good.

No one should expect an easy time on those tracks, as all three of them are very demanding - Track A stands out in that respect for me. This is a Masters tournament for a reason, after all... Fortunately, the choice of cars suits me quite well   

I'll try it tonight. Do we have LTB?

Yes, Mark has 22 hours already...

Let's say the first test left me somewhere between Mark and CTG's positions: it's interesting to experiment with Skoda on the track (mostly on the first half), but the water/IRC section is homicidal...

The paths into the "Load Tracks" (and "Load Replays") are relative to the Stunts root folder. So, in your case, just pass tracks1 as path and the game will automatically go to c:\stunts\tracks1 (BTW, remember to use extra subdirectories if you have lots of tracks in that folder - 127 is the limit for a single directory IIRC). And welcome Jake 

BJ: now I don't think I can agree entirely with your analysis of Joe's... 

It seems I introduced a weird bug during the final revisions of the Ranger: the current car does not print its name to the scoreboard after the end of the race... Here is a corrected file - naturally, no performance data was changed, so no one that downloaded the currently available car will be harmed in competition by missing the correction. Sorry for the trouble Zak!

"Homeworld"
"Belfast"
"Twilight"

How do these names "sound"...?

Let's see if I got them all:
Homeworld (the one I'm most sure of  );
Belfast (there are a few more possibilities here...); and
Twilight (nice pick! nevermind I thought of a different Twilight... )

Youtube videos, MP3 files and such are automatically embedded from now on.

Just a complementary tip: if for some reason you don't want your YouTube, LastFM, etc. links to be auto-embedded, surround the relevant portion of your post with [noembed][/noembed]. Just had to use that...

Very very complete, really useful  Hopefully that will help in having less lurkers-to-users for 2009. The only thing I'd point is about the auto-disappearing feature, as the guide does not return automatically when you logout. Maybe newbies might like to check the guide while logged for their first submissions, so perhaps it could just stay there all the time - I would not really mind having it occupying that bit of screen state while I'm logged in...

Well, what to say? First of all thanks: to Krys for the championship and to all pipsqueaks for the battles - in particular, to Mark for the knightly rivalry. Both the catch and the chase were a spectacular ride. It is a great honour to reach this far in our unique art, especially racing alongside, as Mark would put it, so devoted bishops...
Now, I shall enjoy the laurels while I can, as the new season will dawn quickly. I wonder whether we could have a fourth champion waiting to rise, next year or a bit further...

And as for the race: truth is, I found the main cut quite early in the race - when I made that post double-checking the rules about two weeks ago, I was pretty convinced it had to be possible somehow, and found how to pull it shortly afterwards. After that, I kept racing the "default" line for a while so I could compare my times with yours (at least on the first half of the race - if anybody found the trick, as Chulk did, I'd better have something strong in the pocket...), post intermediate times ( ) and test what the actual limit was. And BTW: Mark's 53.70 was really strong - I don't think lowering that by more than a tenth with the "default" line would be possible...

- as Chulk has just demonstrated -

I can't keep it shut for too long (easy to say with 45 minutes remaining... ). There is another twist to the plot -

It looks well balanced overall... good job indeed!  Just one thing: expect the first race to be Speedgate's showcase...
