Here I am, only one day late! ;D  Just 6 laps, but the 7th was just one tile away!

Using the same Le mans criteria someone mentioned before, reaching the last straight faster than the rest doesn't get you the victory unless you finish the race and go through the finish line... stopping earlier than that means you DNF

I don't like the idea of DNF, because of the second 12' limit. If you want to finish within that deadline, you might have no choice but to drive less than 8'.

If someone stops earlier, I suppose it's their problem. I had to, in order to upload my replay within 12 minutes, but that left me less time to drive. The choice was between a late penalty and driving fewer track tiles.

I think the way we ranked the first race works fine: first number of laps, then the number of seconds driven in the last, incomplete lap —until the end of the replay, if shorter than 8 mintes. If two results are very close, we can check the actual position along the track at the end of the replay, and who drove farther wins.

The race is about distance: we can use seconds to approximate, but laps and tiles are the main metric.

Not 100% sure, but I might be here for 20:00 GMT (in an hour). Didn't have time to try the track though ;D

Hey, I'm fairly busy this week-end, but if there's a race tomorrow and I'm around at the right time, I'm in!

Maybe we should have a [bi-/tri-]weekly thread in the new subforum?

Okay, can we meet in a chat room or something? Is there a forum chat? Or the old #stunts channel on IRC EFNet?

web-irc page here: http://chat.efnet.org

Which rules are we using, by the way? Jumping from that loop is too satisfying to be OWOT-thingy.

To summarize —and to be sure I understood:

  • a couple of minutes before 22:00 gmt+1 (italy/hungary/denmark), BJ will post an updated version of the track
  • at 22:00 sharp, we start driving with a Porsche 962
  • we drive for up to 8 minutes in game, or 12 minutes IRL
  • we upload the replay here

I wish her getting better!

Same here!

QuoteWithout Duplode I vote for an individual race. Or simply postpone it.
If we are only 4-5 left, then I would agree on the individual race, and team-Le Stunts next time!

I could do Sunday, and I am on GMT+1 right now - any time in the evening should be fine.

I am not sure how you would keep the download counter under control though: someone could just visit the page and click some of the download links, increasing counters.

(edit: btw, the note worked, thanks!)

Quote from: CTG on October 09, 2012, 09:45:51 AMIt's not as hard as you think now. The real difficulty is to make sharp turns in powergear (crucial section: between the second cork and the pipe).

Getting to powergear is not difficult indeed, the problem is going anywhere from there ;D  Yup, sharp turns more than others. But the other ones too: I'm more one of those two-wheels-on-track players.
