Title: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Duplode on January 01, 2025, 01:53:13 PM
New thread for the guest tracks! (see 2024 (https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4205.0))

Want to design a competition track? Book your race below.

Tracks for the competition are designed by its participants. If you have an idea for a track and would like to contribute, just choose an available month below!

Some notes about the calendar this year. The dates in the list below are submission dates, following the procedure set by @dreadnaut last year in which tracks should be sent one week before the race start, to make sure there's time to catch any pitfalls. I'm assuming the season will start on 12 Jan. The calendar might have to be shifted one week forward; we'll let you know if that happens. For the first race, since the planned submission date is four days from now, some extra leeway will presumably make sense.

I have a nice drive through the park that is currently very pretty but entirely untested as a track, I feel like that could be a good match for 287.

As I mentioned in another thread, I would like a double-blind voting process. If that isn't feasible, I would like to get February or March. :)

I picked the one I picked and I'm happy with it, but I am totally open to voting instead if you guys want to

Any offers for the January track?
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Argammon on January 12, 2025, 06:09:13 PM
As I told @Duplode my track is already ready, and I can offer it as an "emergency" solution. Otherwise, you may want to start the year with a retro track.  :)

While I have a couple track ideas to work with, if we're starting today (and not on the 19th) I won't be able to get them ready in a timely way. @Argammon 's offer looks like a better one if we need an emergency solution.
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: dreadnaut on January 12, 2025, 06:17:03 PM
@Argammon, if you are OK with it let's start with yours!
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Argammon on January 12, 2025, 06:18:07 PM
Ok, I will send it to you and Duplode.

Edit: Sent! :)

Nobody will take z284? I could also take it if you need @dreadnaut
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Duplode on January 30, 2025, 10:22:38 PM
I can take ZCT283 -- while I don't have it ready, I'll have enough free time over the next few days to work on a design.

@alanrotoi On ZCT284, maybe we can wait a week more or so to see if anyone not yet in the calendar will volunteer?

Of course! I would like to see a track from @Stein Viterbo or @Mark Nailwood  or @Zapper or @Ryoma or @Spoonboy

Post by: Cas on January 31, 2025, 07:43:29 PM
If necessary, I can take a second one too, but let's see if other folks want to do it

Quick update on ZCT283: I currently have two sketches unrelated to each other. I'm not satisfied with any of them right now, but something is going to come out of it -- hopefully within this evening, as I'm already late  ::)

Forget about dual-way, it's time for dual-track racing!

I wonder about the car bonuses. ::)

In the end, at least I did stick with one of the drafts, as opposed to discard them both  :D (I still hope to turn the other one into a viable competition track someday...)

I won't mess too much with them, as you'll see shortly  ;)

If somebody without a track wants to build next track please rise your hand. If not I'll build it. Anybody?
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Duplode on February 18, 2025, 03:24:24 AM
Let's update the calendar, then, with @alanrotoi (thanks!) now on ZCT284. ZCT291 and ZCT293 remain available!
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Cas on February 18, 2025, 11:30:11 PM
If nobody else will take it, you can book me on 291 as well
Title: Re: Guest tracks 2025
Post by: Duplode on February 19, 2025, 12:21:24 AM
@Cas Noted, thanks! Though again, we might wait a little longer to see if anyone not yet on the calendar wants to join. (In particular, @HerrNove mentioned elsewhere he might want to.)

This year I'll be happy to just race :)

I have a nice track concept in mind but it might be more appropriate for R4K. The basic sketch has no loops/ramps/hills because they do not fit the theme (also no splits but this could change), so it seems suitable for clean and precise driving but not for the usual jump shenanigans and tricks that the pros seem to like.

The theme, by the way, has curiously nothing to do with Herr Partz' preferences! But I'll leave it as a surprise for now...

Sounds nice! And yes, OWOOT track design can be a rather distinct affair -- but one that's no less interesting  :)

As far as I remember https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT159 was the only track built originally for OWOOT rules.

@HerrNove - You can post here: https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4392.msg96529#new and we'll see to un-reserve a slot that you can use

I'll take 291, while 293 should go to @CTG this year!

Thanks thanks! I think, if enough veterans want to contribute a track for this year I'd prefer not to take places away from them with a track that will probably contain some beginner's mistakes (especially since everyone will have to race for many weeks on it). I first want to experiment with the track editing tools, and check if I'm satisfied with what will come out of my plan. But it might not happen soon, too many open projects already. Anyway thanks for the offer, I'll sure send a track, maybe for the next year.

Happy to leave you my place, I was only trying to fill the list :)  Autumn should be far enough in the future, for you to experiment at your leisure!

There are also ZCT166 (4AM) (https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT166) and ZCT188 (AbuRaf's Boulevard) (https://zak.stunts.hu/tracks/ZCT188), which were originally submitted to the WSC track design contest in 2006.

@HerrNove - In R4K, we had offered slots on half the races of the year, so the other half is still reserved for Mark and me as administrators. We can easily squeeze one more there if you feel like posting a track this year. Anyway, you have most of the year to think about it and let us know!

Updating the calendar with @dreadnaut at ZCT291. 11/12  ;)
