Title: I need a team!!!

Hello, I'm Dark Chaser, a brazilian new pipsqueak on the championship in 2004. I'm a good pipsqueak and I want a team for 2004. I have no team, and I want one... Does anybody intend to invite me to join a team??

Also, you can build a team with a friend if nobody invites you...

Dark Chaser, what's your best on Default with Indy (without tricks and shortcuts)?

Hello there, I'm new here, too, and waiting for next year's competition.
But I don't think you really need a team, do you?


By the way, what do you think of my Avatar? I've spent the whole day for it, maybe you know the pic...     :wink:

OK newbies, let's draft you!  :wink: Are you really talented? Race on Default and send your replays to me: riverkiller@freemail.hu . I'm really interested how good you are...  :)

I don't think whether my default track is the original one or not.
I just downloaded the game from //www.kalpen.de, and I guess that I can remember some differences to my old default track a long time ago.

Anyway, what has my time to be about? I'll try, but I have already recognized, that I still have to learn much.

But I'll do...      :x

It's a great avatar! It's the animation when you win a race in Accolade's Grand Prix (1988).  :D

If you're not sure about the tracks from our site you may download the original tracks from our tracks'n'replays section.

Anyway, if you downloaded the original game, then of course the original tracks are included.

I have already looked it up somewhere, and it seems to be the original one.
Then my memories must be wrong or I didn't have the real default track in former times.

But how are these times listed on Zak's scoreboard possible?

I tried a few times yesterday evening and today and I don't think I'll be able to improve it much more. But it's a 1:07:15 ! (of course without RH)
And even in my dreams I can't imagine driving a 0:35.85!  :shock:

Maybe I should try a beginner competition. Before I came here, I thought i was good..... :cry: You've ruined my self-confidence!
Title: I need a team!!!

Hey, cheer up! Those times are possible because of training, exercising and experience. And not all pipsqueaks are that fast (take a look at my crappy times) Anyway that's why Zak's contest is divided in two leagues. So even if you're not with the Top Ten pipsqueaks you may get a good ranking in the amateur league. Anyway you will definitely become faster watching the winning replays of the other pipsqueaks and thus learning some tricks and shortcuts  :)

But in Zak's competition the car of the month is determined,
and the only cars I like are the Indy, the Porsche 962 and the Jaguar!

Maybe I should try in the ISA competition, I think these harder rules could be an advantage to me.

QuoteMaybe I should try in the ISA competition,
Then hurry up, because Las Palmas is the last track of the season, and ends it on 30 December. Next season I won't continue IRC probably, but you'll can race with indy in StuntsLOL competition.

Hey, finding shortcuts, that might be the answer!

0:56:60 on Default!!! I've sent the replay to Zak, hope it will appear on the scoreboard of the permanent competition soon. But how to get still 20 seconds less??? :?
No matter, a giant triumph for me!!! :D

Now CTG, what do you think?

Hey, Diesel Joe. :shock:
That name reminds me a rock band called Johnny Diesel and the Injectors. :D

Your time is good, but to compare I think CTG needs to send his best time to Zak because there's no CTG time in permanent competition scoreboard for Default track. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

Hm, I guess I didn't think of them when I gave myself that nickname. :wink:

Besides I didn't want to compare myself with CTG (maybe after a little more international experience), but CTG said:

        ... Race on Default [...] I'm really interested how good you are...
Title: I need a team!!!
Post by: alanrotoi on December 19, 2003, 06:05:04 PM
I thought I were very good in stunts when I started. It wasn't like that because I hadn't the training that regular pipsqueaks had when I joined. It's a matter of time, you can become the best in few months.
Title: I need a team!!!
Post by: CTG on December 19, 2003, 08:17:28 PM
I have 45.xx at the moment on Default...

Diesel Joe: Please play Stunts 1.1 version, not 1.0, because they aren't compatible. And the official Stunts game is v1.1 in all the competitions... You can download it from Zak's page. And use Indy, not Contest Car!  :wink:

Hi Diesel Joe, your name reminds of me of another Stunts pipsqueak with 6 letters and then Joe. You're right, that shortcuts is an important part of getting a good time on Default and most other tracks, but with the Indy, shortcuts are not enough, power gear is necessary too :D
About having ruined your self-confidence, we've all been there! Competing like this demands something of you - racing with Helen and Skid or against your own records doesn't. You'll see that you improve fast once you've gotten into the competition!
I don't think IRC will make it easier for you, as it is probably the hardest competition to win in, but in a competition like USC (www.unskilledstunts.cjb.net) or StuntsLOL, mostly the Indy and other fast cars are used. Those are great competitions too, and not as hard as Zakstunts or IRC!

See you on the scoreboards - my cousin?  8)

Yes, yes - try your best on Josvafo track! Deadline is 30th December!  :wink:

I thought the contest car was designed, so that version 1.0 could keep up with 1.1
But I'll do as you said and download it.

I don't think I have enough time to try all the competitions this month, there are a lot of exams waiting for me in January.

@BonzaiJoe: I'll kepp on trying, but what I've seen in some replays what to do seems to me to be superhuman! (at the moment)

We'll see how i will develop, I didn't believe winning against Skid is enough to succeed here  :wink:

I hope you'll see me there(scoreboard), soon. I already have a passable time at Bernie's.   ...Cousin!  :D (what an honour)

HI DJ :)

Don't worry about Bonzai's replays - they are superhuman... AFAIK 0:56 is pretty good for a first run on default, I'm only for half a year in the contest and improved quite a bit (I'm still driving behind the good one's, but a bit closer :) ). Perhaps you should just drive in a competition to get a team, that's the best thing you can do to improve. I've seen for myself.

so long satanziege

Well, still better then hexediting...  :P

Anyway, your 56 secs on Default is very impressive! You will be welcome in my team if you want to join...  :wink:

Wow, that offer came fast!

Of course I accept!  :D  I hope I won't dissappoint you, you haven't seen much of me yet.

Did I understand right, that I can't join until next year?

OK, now DJ has a team :wink: , but the post creator, Dark Chaser, hasn't. :shock:

Funny, except for Dark Chaser I think. :roll:
