Hello everyone,
TL;DR: I'm drafting here an idea I'm maturing as a one man band, but aimed towards a community project: The Stunts live race world cup.
1. Goals
Ensure fair competition regardless of available training time.
Highlight the "live" spirit of Stunts: precision, quick strategy, pressure management.
Create a global format bringing together players from multiple time zones.
2. Competition Structure
Phase 1: Conference Qualifiers
Conferences:
🌎 The Americas
🌍 The Old Continent (Europe, Africa)
🌏 Oceania / Asia-Pacific
Each conference hosts one live race on the same track, but scheduled for local convenience.
Top 3 from each conference advance to the Grand Final.
Phase 2: Grand Universal Final
The 9 qualified drivers face off live on a brand-new track.
Results → determine the Top 3 of the Universe.
3. Race Formats possibilities
a) Live Classic Race
Track remains undisclosed until the start.
Duration: 12 minutes (max 15 for exceptional tracks).
Goal: as many laps as possible → best lap time counts.
b) Live Rally / Endurance
Track is revealed 7 days in advance.
Single lap, lasting 6–9 minutes.
Live duration: up to 15 minutes (1–2 attempts).
4. Practical Organization
Sign-up: each player registers in one conference (based on time zone or availability).
Track distribution: each pipsqueak receives a unique QR code (drawn with map buildings) to prevent file sharing.
Timer:
A countdown starts automatically upon download.
Replay (RPL) must be submitted before the countdown expires (12 or 15 minutes).
Referees: each conference must have at least 2 referees (one main + one backup).
5. Scoring
Ranking is based on best lap time.
In case of a tie → 2nd-best lap decides.
Suggested scoring per conference:
1st = 10 pts
2nd = 6 pts
3rd = 4 pts
4th+ = listed in the results but no points.
The Final is decided only by performance (no point carry-over).
6. Fair Play & Ethics
🚫 No secret training or early access to the track file.
Replay Handling (RH) allowed / GAR non directive trust based rule.
✅ Drivers may share emotions and impressions live (chat, stream), but no exact lines or tricks during the race.
7. Communication & Broadcasting
Each conference may organize its live session on YouTube or Twitch.
All RPL files will be archived and published on the official page.
A highlight video of the three conferences and the final will be produced.
I'll share a link to measure the volunteering level. Every answer could help taste the water on the topic.
Hello my friends,
I tested this link on a simple track (STUNTS01.TRK), and it uploads the rpl, tagged with the exact time of uploading. Token to upload rpl file is CHANGE_ME_LONG_RANDOM_TOKEN

It sounds great! If I may, about the scoring system maybe could be based on lenght raced (number of laps + position in last lap) instead of best lap time because it could reduce the interest of racing laps if only one lap counts.
It would be cool to have a Stunts FIFA.
