Nice! I have now joined the scoreboard as well. (One of them, to be precise  )

Congratulations @dreadnaut ! ZCT291 was joint highest in my list as well -- and this was a year of very good tracks, BTW!

The second round of the Christmas Special is open at https://ccc.mystunts.net/ ! This week, we'll race on a retro track: Sweden-3, from Krys TOFF's WRC Stunts. The deadline is next Saturday, 2026-01-03 23:59:59 UTC, and the cars for this round are:

• @alanrotoi 's Ford Sierra RS Cosworth
• Ryoma's Lancia Delta S4
• Alan's Land Rover Defender 90
• @CTG and Ryoma's Subaru Impreza WRC

You can get the cars from the site, or from this post. Specially for the Delta S4 I recommend re-downloading the car from the new pack, as the current version is not compatible with the one used in CCC back in 2022.

There are no tunnel checkpoints in this track, and the must-finish-under-the-banner rule will not be applied in this race. As usual in CCC, penalty time is not allowed; other than that, any line is okay.

I can switch if it's a more favorable month for @Argammon

Thanks, I will gladly switch with you!

All right, calendar updated -- thanks @Erik Barros , and also thanks @HerrNove for the earlier offer!

Great job from the admins and track designers. I have only one regret, Marlboro R5 is meant to excel for ice skating, and it was not ready soon enough.

Soon™ Preview video

Yeah, I was thinking about it while picking cars for the final rounds! Anyway, we'll have other opportunities 

Final results revealed and confirmed! Thanks to everyone who joined, and congratulations to medalists @Spoonboy (cool jumps!), @Alain il professore (lovely Niva lap!) and of course to the winner of round one, @Victor Narl ! You can find the full results and replays on the race's archive page. The second race will start today -- if possible, I'll have it posted during the South American morning.

Hyperion Racing Team 26 are Zapper, Victor Narl and Alain il Professore. Vacant slot to be announced later.

Excellent news, congratulations @Zapper and Hyperion! And what a luxury to count on Renato as consultant!

I would have preferred a later slot, but I take ZCT296 since it is the only one that is free.

Let me know if anybody wants to trade their slot.

Thanks, calendar updated -- with this this note included!

Thanks for the quick reply! Then please register me for ZCT305.

I think Victor had asked for ZCT305 upthread earlier today. In any case, 296 is still free -- can we switch you to that one?  

We will have three races overall in this Christmas special event:

• Race 1 (Rally Square by @stanceboyCZ ), which ends on Saturday, December 27th, 23:59:59 UTC;
• Race 2 (TBA), which will end on Saturday, January 3rd, 23:59:59 UTC; and
• Race 3 (TBA), which will end on Saturday, January 10th, 23:59:59 UTC; and

So that we can crown an event champion, I will post an overall points scoreboard here in the Forum. I will add up the races using weight 4 for the first race (since it will be the longest one) and weight 3 for the other two.

Here is the end-of-season update of the rankings! No one attained a personal best in ZCT293 (the first time that happens since I started posting the updates), but nonetheless there has been plenty of movement across the board! Below is the updated evolution graph:

Couldn't get any racing done this month yet, but I'll try and get a lap in at some point between Thursday and Sunday!

On the track 

A quick rules reminder from the parallel thread, just in case:

you do need to drive through it [the fifth tunnel on the eastern edge of the track, after the second bridge] twice. And no, you can't use the tunnel roofs -- following the usual CCC rules, you have to drive under the roofs as well as the finish banner for the checkpoints to count.

I have a question about the first route right away. The rules state that all tunnels are checkpoints. But tunnel number 6 is passed through twice. Is it possible to pass it only once and take a shortcut the second time? Also, is it possible to drive on the roofs of the tunnels?

Well spotted. I suppose you mean the fifth tunnel, after the second bridge in the eastern edge of the track, between arrows 4 and 1 of the map on the site. Let's say you do need to drive through it twice. And no, you can't use the tunnel roofs -- following the usual CCC rules, you have to drive under the roofs as well as the finish banner for the checkpoints to count.

Do you remember USC X-Mas Cup?

I sure do  One pipsqueak picking the track and the other the car was a fun rule!

@stanceboyCZ 's Christmas Special is on!

The first track, Rally Square, is open for racing at the usual CCC address, https://ccc.mystunts.net/ . Its deadline is 2025-12-27 (the Saturday after Christmas) at 23:59 UTC. Since this is a longer track, we'll race it for ~2 weeks; the later rounds may well be single-week ones.

The rules for this first race are the usual CCC ones, though note that driving through the inside of all tunnels means there will be some path-finding to do! The track map on the site includes navigation hints. As for cars, the pack for this round includes four of them:

• @alanrotoi 's Lada Niva 4x4
• Ryoma's Lancia Stratos Gr5 (competition debut!)
• @Zapper 's Audi Quattro Sport Tuned For Real (competition debut!)
• Zapper's Toyota Sprinter Trueno

You can download the cars from the site, or from this post, to make sure you get the correct versions of them. Fasten your seat belts, and enjoy the ride!
