I'm in! There is a map extension to be completed hehe.

I had the impulse to create a good immersion atmosphere in every stage. The terrain, the horizon and the elements have to work in favor of the stage.

The Fog race starts and ends with very long straights. A lot of fog and loneliness with an unusual straight lenght into a strage village.
The Night stage starts with a chicane road going into a dark tunnel and you have a dark village at a side. It ends with dark boats on water near a dark village.
The day stage starts in the coast sorrounded by many boats and it ends in a large village.

So great!  It was a lot of fun and I see I finally accomplished something in a live race    Ha, ha... First in jumps in the fog one and 3rd place (not last) in the daytime one

3rd place for only 0.35 secs!

Results for every stage and overall!! Thank you for participating. It was a great event, lots of fun!  

Cool video Alain! Victor did a great lap there!

Thank you guys for participating!! It was quiet fun! I'll make a nice infographic chart with this data but I wanted to publish them asap.

[immersion]

It's fun to race like this. Due to the increased difficulty I suggest to race in easy tracks like those I built for the event. The key is the immersion, so you have to chose a specific horizon, a more or less predictable route and not so many stunts to avoid constant crashes. Also you don't have to fear of the dark I'll add suggestions and tips for these kind of mods which should come with certain type of tracks to exploit the experience at max.

Great! So we are 5 pipsqueaks for now!

We will broadcast the race so we'll check it  live. We had some broadcasted races before. We join in a link and our dosbox window will be shared. @Erik Barros will be on charge of that part as usual. Just like the last race we'll meet in the chatroom: https://forum.stunts.hu/chat/

Free rules. It will be a normal race, everybody at home .

[Rules:]

Next Live race this Sunday 12th of April!!

• 09:00 Buenos Aires
• 09:00 São Paulo
• 13:00 London
• 14:00 Amsterdam
• 14:00 Paris
• 14:00 Rome
• 14:00 Budapest
• 15:00 Helsinki
• 15:00 Moscow
• 22:00 Brisbane

Download the attached Stunts with the tracks and cars and start practicing!

Rules:
There are 2 + 1 stages.

Stage 1 - Fog race
Skid Vicious time: 7:15.85


Stage 2 - Night race
Skid Vicious time: 7:46.80


Stage 3 - Day race
Skid Vicious time: 6:38.75


Every race will last 12 minutes. You have to finish your lap as fast as you can. Since the event will be broadcasted we can check fast if the rules are fulfilled and also if your game stops at the 10th minute we can see the point you stoppped (it shouldn't happen because the tracks aren't that long and it's shared a week before the race to have time to make all the test laps you want).
You have to share your replay by uploading it to the forum as usual. If you couldn't end the lap at *time the last frame of your lap will be taken from the broadcast as your official location.

*it could be because you lost much time using RH or if you couldn't finish the track before 10 minutes.

If all pipsqueaks finishes before 12 minutes we can step forward the next stage to save time. We can do the chekings at the end if we lack of time.

There will be Stage winners and a Rally winner. Furthermore, a Jump master for every stage and for the Rally.
The winner is who did the fastest lap and/or who was closer to the finish line. (everybody will finish but just in case )

The cars: we'll use Hummer H1, Lada Niva 4x4 and Land Rover Defender 90. One different car per stage. So you for example you choose Hummer for Fog race, then in the Night race you race with Lada or Land Rover and in the last race you have to use the one you didn't use yet. You'll find a night race, a fog race and a normal race versions of every car of the pack.


Allowed
- use Replay Handling
- You must choose a different car per stage between Hummer H1, Lada Niva and Land Rover. Since at the end everybody will race with all three cars it would be nice if most of us choose different cars for the same track.


Forbidden
- to change the camera (forbidden to press F2, F3, F4, D, C, etc.). We'll broadcast the rally so it will be easy to check if everything is ok. So, for the sake of immersion, please keep the normal F1 view with the modified dashboard.


Track explanation:

It's almost impossible to crash so almost the only reason to go back and re-drive would be if you got out of the road or turn a corner faster, that kind of things. The track has some elements but it won't have slaloms, loops or corkscrew up/down to avoid crashes. Furthermore, you won't find "sudden" corners, in order to make a fluent drive and focus on the main objetive to drive "at night" and "in fog". Luckily, you'll need to use RH only few times.

Our beloved opponent Skid Vicious tested the tracks with Hummer H1. I'm pretty sure we will do it faster in average than him.

Night & Fog dashboards
The Night race dashboard and the fog race dashboard are modifications of the car dashboard to simulate those enviroments and the only ilumination are the car lights. We can race at night and in fog!
These dashboards makes the ride a bit more difficult because of the vision is limited to car lights. The rest of the screen you can watch the track and the desert but in dark colors. Also signs like the "piano" can't be seen without the car lights. You won't find obscure elements that you can't see them comming. The fog dashboard takes all the colors to grey scale. The grass and the paved road has the same grey color so the only way to know where is the road is following the road lines which are black instead of yellow.
