Hi all!
This is the official topic about International Stunts Master 2007, the special happening that will see engaged the first 10 drivers of Stunts World Ranking counting official races results achieved between 1st january 2006 and 5th december 2006.
As you maybe have seen yet on official site (digilander.libero.it\stunts.SDR\ISM\ISM_index.htm (http://digilander.libero.it\stunts.sdr\ism\ism_index.htm)), the event has been anticipated. New date is the following:
From 20th december 2006 to 27th january 2007
Some details are changed too. Read this following extract of ISM rules to know substantial changes, typed in red (
for spanish translation go to to end of this message):
"The International Stunts Master 2007 (ISM 2007) is open to the pipsqueaks which will occupy the first 10 positions of SWR at the midnight (GMT+1) of 5th December 2006. If a race beginned in next November won?t be finished at midnight (GMT+1) of 5th December 2006, this race will concur to SWR classification only if, in that moment, it will be almost at half of its original duration. In this case, the positions at midnight (GMT+1) of 5th December 2006 in that race will determine the results to be included in SWR.
After 5th December 2006, a personal invite will be send by mail to everyone of the first 10 pipsqueaks of SWR. Everyone of them will be invited to confirm his own partecipation at ISM 2007 within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th December 2006. Anyway, a pipsqueak included in final top10 can confirm his presence even if he has not received the personal invite. He can send a mail to speedmark69@libero.it within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th December 2006.
If one or more pipsqueaks won?t confirm their own partecipation, the invites will be extended to a correspondent number of pipsqueaks classified after the first 10 assignee, in order of ranking."
Spanish translation of the extract of ISM rules:"El International Stunts Master 2007 es abierto a los corredores que seran en las primeras 10 posiciones de SWR a la medianoche (GMT+1) de el 5 de Diciembre 2006. Si una raza iniciada en Noviembre no ser? acabada a la medianoche (GMT+1) de el 5 de Diciembre 2006, esta raza contribuir? a la clasificacion de SWR solamente si, en el momento, ser? llegada a la mitad de la su original duracion. In esto caso, las posiciones a la medianoche (GMT+1) de el 5 de Diciembre 2006 de la raza costituiran los resultados da ser incluido en SWR.
Despues el 5 de Diciembre 2006, un invitacion personal ser? enviada por e-mail a los primeros 10 corredores de SWR. Cada uno de ellos ser? invitado a confirmar su participacion a ISM 2007 dentro de la medianoche (GMT+1) de el 10 de Diciembre 2006. De toda manera, un corredor incluido en los primeros diez del las clasificacion final puede confirmar su presencia sin haber recibido un invitacion personal, enviando una mail a speedmark69@libero.it dentro de la medianoche (GMT+1) de el 10 de Diciembre 2006. Si uno o mas corredores non confirmaran su participacion, las invitaciones seran extendidas a los corredores (en numero correspondiente) clasificados despues los primeros 10 que han titulo, en ordine de el ranking. "
I have a suggestion: let's start this event only in January. I think many of us would hate to race during the winter holidays (especially X-mas).
It depends if tracks are available one after the other (and so one of them will have to be raced during winter holidays) or if the 3 tracks will be available during all the duration of the competition (and so no problem as competition finish will be 27th of January 2007).
Well, as descripted in ISM Rules page "ISM 2007 will be composed by 3 contextual and distinct short races which will begin the 20th December 2007 and will finish the 27th January 2007"...
So, as Krys said, no problem for winter holidays... ;)
Quote from: Mark L. RiversAfter 5th December 2006, a personal invite will be send by mail to everyone of the first 10 pipsqueaks of SWR. Everyone of them will be invited to confirm his own partecipation at ISM 2007 within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th December 2006.
I got no invite so far but I confirm anyway that I'll join. ;D
ISM 2007 ranking list is definitive! After partial results of Szombath (USC) and HotRod (WSC) a special and temporarily SWR list has been written to determine the participants. You can see at ISM site checking digilander.libero.it\stunts.SDR\ISM\ISM_news.htm (http://digilander.libero.it\stunts.sdr\ism\ism_news.htm).
(Partial results of Szombath (USC) and HotRod (WSC) only contribute to write the temporarily SWR list that determines which drivers will participate at ISM 2007. Final results of Szombath and HotRod will substitute their respective partial results, which so won't affect normal updates of SWR).
These are the first 10 drivers of SWR which have title to participate at ISM 2007:
1st Ayrton
2nd CTG
3rd Renato Biker
4th Gutix
5th Krys TOFF
6th Mark L. Rivers
7th Bonzai Joe
8th Dottore
9th AbuRaf70
10th Chulk
A personal invite to participate at ISM 2007 has been sent to the first 10 pipsqueaks (by now Krys TOFF too... ;)) which have to confirm their own participation within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th december 2006 sending a mail to speedmark69@libero.it A pipsqueak included in final top 10 can confirm his presence even if he has not received his personal invite. He can send a mail to speedmark69@libero.it within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th december 2006). If one or more of them won?t confirm their own participation, the invite will be extended to a correspondent number of pipsqueaks classified after the first 10 assignees, in order of ranking.
Shall I indicate my will to start here? :D
Six drivers (4 of them are in the first 5 positions of SWR) have confirmed yet their presence. Only 33 hours to join at the event for last 4 drivers which have title to race. Any chances for drivers over 10th place?
Who confirmed and who didn't ?

No 14 is in if none of the 4 remaining confirm :)

These are drivers which have confirmed at this moment: Ayrton, AbuRaf70, CTG, Gutix, Krys TOFF and, sure, Mark L. Rivers... ;)

Very happy to hear it, Zak! :)
Even if... you are not 14th but... incredibly 13th paired with Mislav and Cas which have the same total points... :o
As aforesaid, rank for ISM is calculated at midnight (GMT+1) of 5th december with partial results of Szombath (USC) and HotRod (WSC). So a special and temporary SWR to determine ISM rank has been calculated and it's published on ISM official site.
Instead SWR site reports the situation updated at 3 Dec, the real situation about SWR. This because, as ISM News page reports, "partial results of Szombath (USC) and HotRod (WSC) only contribute to write a temporarily SWR list to determine which drivers will participate at ISM 2007. Final results of Szombath and HotRod will substitute their respective partial results, which won't affect normal updates of SWR."
So the official rank to determine the participants to ISM 2007 is only at ISM site. And I only have realized today that there's a very curious situation about you, Mislav and Cas... :)
No others included in top 10 have confirmed their presence. The invitation has been extended (by official mail) to the following drivers:
11th CTG
12th Argammon
and, in alphabetical order,
13th Cas
13th Mislav
13th Zak McKracken
(Yes, if all them will accept, there will be 11 drivers at ISM 2007 :D)
New guested have to confirm their own participation within midnight (GMT+1) of 15th december 2006 sending a mail to speedmark69@libero.it A new guested can confirm his presence even if he has not received his personal invite. He can send a mail to speedmark69@libero.it within midnight (GMT+1) of 15th december 2006). If one or more of them won?t confirm their own participation, the invite will be extended to a correspondent number of drivers, in order of ranking. That will be the last invitation.
No Dottore, no Renato, no BJ and no Chulk... Can't understand why they didn't confirmed.
Anyway, don't worry Mark : Argammon will probably not accept your invite...

I was very busy and couldn't even sleep for the last two weeks so that's why I'm out. Anyway I think 5 days is not a lot of time to confirm. Good Luck to everyone taking part on this and specially to MeganiuM guys!

You're right Chulk, 5 days is not a lot of time, even if... I published the modality to participate until 26th november 2006, and (as you can see at the beginning of this topic and in ISM site) this included:
"Everyone of them will be invited to confirm his own partecipation at ISM 2007 within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th December 2006. Anyway, a driver included in final top10 can confirm his presence even if he has not received the personal invite. He can send a mail to speedmark69@libero.it within midnight (GMT+1) of 10th December 2006." So there were about 14 days to confirm... ;)
Anyway, don't worry! :) As I just tell you by mail, at the moment only 7 drivers have confirmed (Zak included :) ) their presence, and so there are still 3 places free and sure one it's for you... ;) :)
Ok, after 2nd turn of invitations, drivers which have confirmed their presence are the following:
Ayrton (1st in SWR for ISM 2007)
CTG (2nd)
Gutix (4th)
Krys TOFF (5th)
Mark L. Rivers (6th)
AbuRaf70 (9th)
Chulk (10th)
Zak McKracken (13th)
Between others, Mislav has kindly answered me that he would like to participate but actually his engages don't permit him to race. I hope to see him "on board" in the future! ;)
Now, about 2 places free, a last invitation is now extended towards all drivers between 16th and 20th place in SWR for ISM 2007, that is:
Alain (16th)
Dark Chaser (17th)
Superbrian (18th)
Hek (19th)
Paleke (20th)
A personal invite to participate at ISM 2007 has just been sent to everyone of them. They have to confirm their own participation within midnight (GMT+1) of 18th december 2006 sending a mail to speedmark69@libero.it and they can send it even if they have not received own personal invite.
Two drivers with higher rank which will confirm their presence will be admitted to ISM 2007.
There won't be further invitations. ISM 2007 will begin 20th of december at 00:00:01 anyway with 10, 9 or 8 drivers. Let's see! :)

I haven't confirmed this because I have never received an invitation. I have not been checking this subforum after the thread has been started, because my forum-reading has been rather sporadical lately. I would like to join, but it seems like the deadline has passed long ago. I don't know why I never got the mail. You've got my email address wrong? The mail was junked? I don't know.
In any case, you should really try to reach out to Renato Biker. There can be no "elite" competition without him. It's like Oscar Pereiro Sio winning this year's Tour de France because Basso, Ullrich and Vinokourov were excluded and Landis was doped.

Happy to know your desire to join, BJ! :)
Well, I have sent mail to everyone which have title to participate at ISM 2007 recovering their own mail address by ZakStunts site. So I sent you my invitation at JackyVSO@hotmail.com
If it's correct, maybe your mail server didn't like the subject of my mail ("ISM 2007 - Personal Invitation"). Anyway, I had thinked that publishing the advertisement on Forum 15 days before the event could be sufficient, aboveall for top drivers...
But I think that there's no problem anyway for your participation. Driver which have confirmed are only 8 at the moment... and even if they will be 10 at invitation deadline... contest manager could do an exception... ;) :)
About Renato Biker (mail sent to renatobrodzinski@yahoo.com.br), I don't know if he simply didn't receive my invitation and he has not seen yet reiterated advertisements on the forum, or if he has choosen not to participate. What I can do it's only to reach him by a private message. If you (or others) know how to reach him in other ways, sure contact him. If he wants to participate, he could inform me by mail or through the forum.
I'll publish definitive list of participants the 19th december, in the evening... ;)
Hmm, it sounds like it must have been my mailserver then, but that's very strange. Or maybe I read the mail while drunk and forgot about it in the morning? I don't know, I really don't remember anything about getting such a mail. But I'm glad to know I can probably join!
(by the way, I think it would be best if you remove mine and Renato's email addresses from the post, because as Krys Toff pointed out once, spammers pick up email addresses on forums. Thanks)

True, spam robots do this. Simply write them with a space like that : mymail @myprovider.something, or add a "no spam" message like that : mymail[nospam]@myprovider.something.
;)
OK, number 10 has been reached! ;)
ISM 2007 will see engaged the following drivers:
AbuRaf70 (9th in SWR for ISM 2007)
Ayrton (1st)
Bonzai Joe (8th)
Chulk (10th)
CTG (2nd)
Gutix (4th)
Krys TOFF (5th)
Mark L. Rivers (6th)
SuperBrian (18th)
Zak McKracken (13th)
I?m really happy to see in list 7 fantastic drivers included in TOP 10, a rising dynamic outsider like Superbrian, and sure a Stunts Man which no need presentation: Zak McKracken! And I?m also really very happy to race with all them! :)
Well, now it?s time to go!
Tracks are available on ISM site, so:
download tracks,
race fastest as possible,
don?t forget additional points at stake in every track,
and above all?. enjoy with ISM 2007! :)
tomorrow I'll have another bloody exam and then I'll be heading for the racetrack.
Erm... my laptop :)
Quote from: Mark L. RiversSuperBrian (18th)
Lucky guy. Thanks to all those who refused to race, I'll have my teammate with me.
Welcome to ISM SuperBrain, let's do efficient teamwork on this special event. ;)
Server problem don't permit me to update ISM site now. Anyway, AbuRaf70 has improved his time even if nothing changes in classification.
Isn't there a problem with leading time automatic count system ?
I sent my replay for track C at midnight GMT+1. It's now more than 10AM GMT+1 and leading time is 8 hours instead of 10. ???
How much leading time bonus is there?
pretty much. +2 for the LTB winner on each track
:o
Okay new strategy...
It seems teamwork is more efficient in Damage Inc. than in MeganiuM : SuperBrian now has a good time for track C while AbuRaf remains far behind him. Well done partner, you're learning fast. ;) 8)
I have ambivalent feelings about the tracks. The P962 track is just mad, I don't really like it. Jaguar track is pure and needs perfect steering of this wonderful car - nice, but a bit boring challange. The one for Acura reminds me on that great last track of SDR - powergear of Acura was always one of my favorites.
Shame on me, I'm too busy with work. I can't really race now, maybe only the last week of the race.
A change at the vertex: CTG new provisional leader!
He has placed the wheels of his favourite car just ahead Bonzai Joe, so he's leading now on track B and in general classification. And now the answers... ;)
And somehow my A and C replays are lost in your mailbox. I re-sent them few minutes ago.
He must really be just 0.05 ahead, or he hasn't understood the leading time system
I don't care about leading time system, I'm just racing without dirty hiding techniques.
New CTG's results on track A and C have been received, and... there's a new record for him: Gutix overtook on track C!
About leading time system, I think CTG knows very well it having raced in almost all SDR races last year. Anyway, overtaking previous time (even if for only 0"05), he has stopped it and now leading time has been zeroed again. Two bonus points on track B are at the moment for Ayrton (311 hours). CTG leads on track B in this moments for 20 hours.

Sorry, I should have known you would never succumb to such low tricks :)
Hey Bonzai when did I hide my times? You are the master of last minute replays, not me.
Well I don't have time to do comprehensive research right now, eventually I will, but 1. I recall you saying "I love this game" regarding breaking before the finish line to get a slower time better fit for hiding your best when fighting for leading time. 2. I think it's a bit strange of you to claim moral superiority by saying you wouldn't do such "dirty tricks", when in all other respects you don't have a problem with going much dirtier tricks than that.
It's true I'm a master of last-minute replays, and I wouldn't shy away from hiding my times in the way described, but mainly my lateness in replays owes to my racing pattern: racing a lot in the beginning of the month, getting a good time, having my good time beaten after a week or so, losing moral and racing again only when I really have to (at the deadline). For my latest "last minute replay", on the previous USC track, as you know, I sent the replay at 23:45 on the last day, but I downloaded the track at approximately 22:55 on the last day.
Hey, I don't want to argue. I just say time hiding is not my weapon. It's very rear when I improve any positions on the last day.
What's more, I friendly invite you to make a great last minute replay on Tata track too. :)
Okay okay, when is the deadline on Tata? I want to improve, but I'm very busy with writing a paper.
Sunday
Cause a week of (deserved, believe me ;) ) holidays, ISM updates won't be regular until 21th January in the evening. Anyway, you can send your replays without any problem! :)
Acura PowerGutix!!!!
Beginning from this race, maybe when we'll talk about Acura PowerGear, we should talk about Acura PowerGutix... I really don't know ??? ??? how he has succeeded (I check all replays only with RPLINFO) but he has sure kept PowerGear of his Acura from beginning until the end... realizing an unthinkable, absolutely unthinkable time: 1'03"30... Yes, 1'03"30!!!! :o :o :o Really incredible!!! An awesome result that one more time complicate the predictions of final result... It's true, Gutix has not succeeded to defend the longest and continuos leading time, and so 2 additional points at stake on track C are by now definitely in CTG's pocket which rises to 27 points (5 points less than current general leader, Ayrton). But the 10 points of track C appears now conquered almost definitely by Gutix. OK, never say never, but it seems impossible to reach a better time... And all additional points are definitely assigned (4 Ayrton and 2 CTG)... So with actual general classification we'll probably see a very big challenge to undermine Ayrton and Gutix (!) from actual positions, hoping to catch the maximum points available so to make less weighty additional points conquered... Sure CTG seems a bit advantaged in the run-up to Ayrton. Overtaking the argentinian on track A and B (not very easy, sure...), only 1 point would divide him to the vertex... Not enough to win, but enough to hope... Effectively, every driver can still win, but only if they will aim very, very high on every track and if the results of other drivers will help them... A thriling final waits all drivers and all spectators... ;) Who will win the title? Who will get the podium? Just 6 days and few hours to the end... Maybe many drivers will choose to send their last replay in last minutes... But will it be the most opportune choice? If a driver will send early a new record on a single track (like Gutix..) sure he will discover his cards but sure this could demotivate other drivers or lead them to spend many time on that track, overleaping the other ones... One more time, let's see what it will happen! :)
I have to give up... travelling home earlier in the morning, no time for more racing.
BJ: Think whatever you want. :)
Last day of race!
Well, after five weeks of race, ISM is going to finish: let's see what it will happen!
I don't assure an immediate update just after midnight (GMT+1)... ::) More probably within 9 a.m. of tomorrow... ;)
Sure I will have to check many replays, all received until here and others ones which I will receive today... Hard work, but the big show realized by all drivers for this event makes the thing very satisfying... :)

This means no update until the deadline. Today is quiet day ?
Yes! ;)
Re-sults ! Re-sults !
We want results ! ;)
Ayrton has won ISM 2007!
Ayrton has won ISM 2007! Last attack to the fantastic argentinian champion (29 points for him at finish) came from Bonzai Joe in the last minute (really in the last minute!) which conquered the first place on track B (fantastic 42"40!) but "only" a 5th place on track C: 2nd final place for the danish champion which reaches CTG at 26 points climbing with him on the podium! Great battle in the last day on track C (6 times) and improvements for SuperBrian (8th on track C and in general classification), Mark L. Rivers (5th on track C and 4th with Gutix in general classification) and Krys TOFF: great activity for the french champion in last days with 4th replays on track C (3rd at finish with 1'14"65!), 2 replays on track B (4th with 44"15 on track B behind the monstruos trio Bonzai Joe, Ayrton and CTG) and 2 replays on track A with a final 39"40. Great passion for the french driver! No other improvements and, misteriously, total silence by Chulk... You can download all replays at Download page. Analisys will be elaborated soon.
Well it was an engaging and dazzling challenge for me and I hope that all drivers liked the tracks and the event! Thanks to all for the big show! :)
And sure I hope that someone of them will want to express here his comments about the competition!
Damn ! Track A made me fail to reach a place in top 5, for only 1 little point...
Anyway, I'm happy with track B and C results. 8)
It was a nice event, too bad Chulk didn't race finally.
Hard fight between Ayrton, CTG, Jacky for the podium, and impressive result by Magic Gutix on track C.
Nice battle too between AbuRaf and SuperBrian during all the event. Well done my Danish partner, you got the 8th place. ;) Quite good for a pipsqueak classified 17th in Mark's WRL before this event and invited in the last minutes to replace those who didn't confirmed they would join.
It has been a great event! The "one track per month" competition format was getting monotonous, so it was great with an event like this. Also, racing against the top of the ranking list was really a good motivation. Updates regular and site well functional, nothing was really wrong about ISM 2007. I certainly hope we will have another one like this next year, maybe with some other cars, but with the same "three different kinds of tracks" idea.
Thank you for hosting this event, Mark L.
P.S. The Krys TOFF replay you uploaded for Track C is 1.15.00, not 1.14.65, but I guess that's just a mistake. I hope it isn't though :)

Really thanks! :) Well... I think probably there will be an ISM 2008... ;)
When clicking on SDR banner at the portal, there is no more link of ISM event now that you updated SDR page.
I'm not sure everybody saw all the results, your should keep your previous page with competition selection at least for a while I think. ;)
Best would be to have a ISM banner included in the Stunts portal. When SDR stops, ISM will start and so you'll just have to ask Zak to change the portal in order to exchange SDR and ISM banners between active and inactive competitions pages.
Another problem : on your new SDR welcome page, news are written way too small to be read with 1024x768 or higher screen resolution... :-\
Where are the final results? I just came back to Budapest...
Oh my God, only 42.40 on Track B? I think I left at least 1-1.5 seconds in my B replay... Congratulations to Bonzai Joe anyway.
Yeah well, there must be something wrong when I can win it. I don't see anything near 1 second (where?), but Ayrton is 0.15 ahead of me at 35 seconds, but loses 0.25 in the last double-corner...
I think I left about 2 seconds on Track C which I could have picked up by going left in the last part :)
Great replays by Ayrton and Gutix on A and C! I don't understand how argentinians do those magic carpets just when they are needed, but they sure do (and here, "they" does of course not mean Ayrton and Gutix, but Gutix and Alan Rotoi (Z16).

Yeah well, there must be something wrong when I can win it. I don't see anything near 1 second (where?), but Ayrton is 0.15 ahead of me at 35 seconds, but loses 0.25 in the last double-corner...
No problem with your victory, I'm just angry on myself because I feel my B replay really weak. Some of my corners just sucked.
too bad I had to skip the last week, lost several points!
I really liked the competition anyway, thank you Mark!
High marks on Mark's contest! :)
Thanks for your congratulations Zak and CTG! :)
And thanks also to Krys for his congratulations why I haven't bless! ;)
Last work for ISM 2007: Analysis!
Check Single Race Standings and go after Maps to see Analysis of the races (use float-menu to go quickly to the race desired). Highlights:
TRACK A
Ayrton built his victory during 2nd section. He was in fact only 0"10 ahead Bonzai Joe at 1st intermediate and his 3rd section time is the same of Bonzai Joe and Mark L. Rivers (!). But his 2nd section time is fantastic: 1" faster than BJ (and 1"50 than Mark L. Rivers). High performances for CTG and Zak McKracken in 2nd section, but the way choosen didn't permit them to have enough speed to jump over the tunnel in last section.
TRACK B
Bonzai Joe reduces gradually his initial gap: 3rd at 1st intermediate, 2nd at 2nd int and 1st at finish. Great final section for him and great final section for Zak McKracken, both faster of all other drivers which choosen their respectively way.
TRACK C
Great first section by CTG over 1" faster than others except Krys TOFF (0"90). Remarkable result for AbuRaf70, 4th at first intermediate, ahead Gutix, Mark L. Rivers, Bonzai Joe, SuperBrian and Ayrton. Excluding Gutix's magic final, another great performance by CTG at third section (about 1"50 better than all others) and very valid time for SuperBrian at second intermediate (4th ahead Mark L. Rivers, AbuRaf70, Bonzai Joe, Krys TOFF and Zak McKracken)
