Quote from: Cas on April 14, 2026, 12:21:50 AM@Victor Narl ... Lotus: The Ultimate Challenge is a classic I absolutely love. Very simple, yet fun game with brings some nostalgia. Only once, I had a magazine about PC games during that golden era and among the games featured in that magazine, was this one. And I think it's the only one that showed in that magazine that I later got and played (another one was Syndicate, I remember, but I've never played it).
I was on the DGC episode for Syndicate, as it was one of my childhood favourites! Well worth trying again, though the aged interface can take getting used to.

Season's Chat - CCC / Re: CCC04R3 - Krakow

Thanks to all for a great race, a fitting end to a great season!
Some amazing laps and tricks.

I agree with @Alain il professore's words about the variety of cars and the way it inspires us. It makes CCC a unique challenge and one I really enjoy.

Five races in the next season will be tough. I sometimes find it hard to fit in the three seasons I currently drive, when they have races occurring simultaneously. The rescheduling of some of the end dates helped me with this recently.

However, this is not anyone else's problem, just mine to solve!
Long live CCC, and let's keep pushing! :D

This drives like a real old school track! With the relaxed rules and grippy cars, some of these elements will be a true challenge.
Looking forward to racing the LC1, which I love but have never driven in an actual competition. The extra days are welcome - and may be needed. A busy Stunts year so far!

That was a fun track - glad I managed to get all four cars raced! The kart is tricky to get used to again, and I had trouble getting it over the bridge. So an alternative route was needed! Fortunately, @Duplode had placed some useful ramps. Cutting over all of them to further down the banking was ok, but bouncing back on after the bridge was ~3s faster.
Not as fast as succeeding in the original jump, so well done to those that did!

The Ferrari was also my favourite, I'll definitely add this to my garage of cars to enjoy later. Of course, the Uno was awesome! ;)
Viva CCC!

Congratulations to @Victor Narl and @Alain il professore! Particularly Victor with some very courageous and creative lines and some nice magic carpets ;D

As always, thanks to Ryoma for creating these cars. This variety is part of what makes CCC such a great series.

I enjoyed these laps and love CCC, but admit to finding it hard to compete in three series at once. Zak, R4K and CCC (with 4 cars!) all at once is a lot of laps to perfect, for me. But I persevered, as I have a lot of love for CCC.

Quote from: MiDiaN on January 13, 2026, 11:17:49 AMThe dashboard is badass! Love the chrome rings around the gauges.

Yes, I forgot to mention how good the dash looks! Very clear and also beautiful.

@alanrotoi the Isdera is a beauty!
Such a complex shape, you are an artist that can make straight lines look like curves!
The car drives well. Very stable and never seems to run out of gears ;D

Thanks to all for these great CCC races, and thanks to @Alain il professore for the nice words.

I am sad to have missed the deadline for the third race. In my case, it wasn't a workload problem (although 3 races felt like a lot!). I had all four laps ready, but last night was busy and I got distracted. I had some good times, not sure if it would have changed my leaderboard position?

Anyway I had fun with all tracks, and I am a great fan of CCC. I love the chance to test different cars I might not have driven before, and the change in rules from Zak/R4K is refreshing.
I have some ideas for a future CCC race, so I'll continue to work on that.

Great to race with you all. Looking forward to more in 2026, let's keep pushing!

Oh no! I got distracted and missed the deadline last night!  :'(  :'(

It's a shame as I enjoyed this track, though it was a tough challenge as @Victor Narl says. Quick fire, a new challenge on every corner with little rest between.

For the record these were my times:
Ferrari GTO: 2:09.20
Citroën Rallye Raid: 2:24.00
Lancia Delta Evo3: 2:22.30
LM002 Zapper: 2:56.55

So some good results for Citroën and Lancia which I'm happy with. But not enough to beat Victor, so congratulations to him.

I'm now working on my R4K lap, so I'll see you all there.

Great video @alanrotoi!
Just curious, what was the track you used to demonstrate the Payback?

This was a great race!
Congratulations to Victor and Alain.
I love the CCC format as I enjoy testing a range of cars on the same track, and we had a nice selection of cars here.

I'd love to see the Testarossa. Fun handling/grip levels. Though I prefer the F512M dashboard.
I didn't get on with the 959 too well, gear ratios seemed very short, so a lot of gear changes in manual, just to get around.

For fast drives, the Mazda is very good, we raced it in R4K 2024.
And how about the Lancia LC1? Was this used in a live race a few years ago?

For grip, I'd repeat my mention of Ryoma's Stratos Gr4. Upgraded dash, faster but not crazy fast like his Gr5!

At the slow end, I love the Trueno. The Niva or Land Rover could be LM002 alternatives, though I can't remember how different the three are in handling/performance.

I love the Oxia and was glad to aee it on the list this year. However, as it worked so well on so many tracks, it was used a lot and started to feel more like work! Maybe best to keep it special by giving it a rest.

@alanrotoi I have been driving the Payback and I'm loving it! It has stats that are all in fun ranges. Good acceleration, fast but not uncontrollable. And that dashboard! 🤩
What was your inspiration?
Looking forward to seeing this in R4K maybe.
