I gave it a little bit more thought and I got a new idea.

Since some of us have been asking for a GAR competion. Isn't it an idea to open up a gar competition with tracks from the first few seasons? So in race zct294 we have the GAR with Zct001 and in zct295 we have GAR with zct002.

The advantage is that we then probably have more activity in the GAR standings and the older tracks get some extra recognition that they definitely deserve. The downside might be that it's too busy in our already busy schedules to have to two separate tracks to race at the same time, another downside is that it might pull away some OWOOT/GAR fans from the main competition which than wil hurt both competitions.

Again, let me know what you think!

Hi Guys,

Lately I've been (casually) re-driving some of the older tracks. Doing this I got an idea that might be cool to implement in te last race of this season.

What if we, in celebration of ending the anniversary 25th season, reopen zct001 as a one-time side scoreboard? Many of us were not around at that time and this way we can honor the pipsqueaks of that era.

Let me know what you think of this idea!

Thanks @alanrotoi, changing pipsqueaks to R A C E R S seems to work!

Sad to hear you'll be retiring @Argammon . But I have to say you are one of the drivers that keep me motivated to better myself. Your replays are always an inspiration. Especially the PG ones (which are way out of my league).

I have to agree with you that the conversation this season are a little bit toxic to say the least. Hopefully we can resolve this because I can imagine it can scare of new drivers. And it definitely stopped me from interacting more on the forum and/or shout box.

But for now we still have three races to enjoy your participation and replays in ZackStunts!

@HerrNove, in that case. I'll be extra rooting for your first podium finish  !

Thanks, I'll send it somewhere later today.

Quick question(s) guys. I've gotten on a working spree for my ZCT293 and it seems that, besides some decoration, it is as good as ready.

Since this is my first ZakStunts track (and honestly the first lap I've made in around twenty-five years) I'm not exactly sure it will meet expectations. I've tried to follow the "guide lines" proposed in the "Track design for ZakStunts" thread as much as possible but I'm still not convinced it is on parr with the rest of this years tracks.

Is it possible I can send it in early for a review so I can have some feedback (if necessary) on if it's to easy or to difficult? Or that it's even within the unwritten rules of track design?

@alanrotoi This could be a great venue for a Death Race, Twisted Metal like story. Imagine Bernie Rubber being the villain who plays dumb, not to reveal he secretly is the evil mastermind responsible for the demise of the world and the situation where the rest of the drivers are in    !

Don't know if anyone is interested, but I found this old website (last updated September 2005) containing a FAQ about Apogee.

It features a lot of in-depth information about the company, the employees and the games they made. It might be a bit too extensive to read in total but for DOS gaming fanatics like us it's really cool to spend some time on it.

Great initiative. Due to time restraints I don't think I won't be able to participate much, but in honor of the (re)launch of the competition I've decided to upload a laptime anyway.

As you can see I'm by far not the best Owoot or No Replay handeling driver but it was al lot of fun driving this track!
