Competition 2021 / Re: Cars and rules for 2021

The big change for 2020 was the LTB calculations. That's done, althought there is still a display bug that I need to fix—you can see it now on the scoreboard too :| Any early opinions on its effects on the season?

Competition 2021 / Cars and rules for 2021

Time travel!
Turns out that if you drive 43 tiles in a straight line in powergear, the Indy can travel through time! So I've gone ahead to 2021, since 2020 sucked anyway. It's warmer here :-X

While the game stays the same, the Competition is open to rule changes. This thread is here to collect and discuss suggestions, and also to decide which custom cars will be allowed for the coming season.

Where have I seen that double-cork before? I keep thinking of Race4Kicks, and I wouldn't put it past Cas to also come up with something so evil ;D

I have just noticed it is possible to receive LTB +3 at the end of a race, though it remains the case that you can't earn them over a single race.

Yes, but I think the "earning" part is important: it's not enough to have a great replay on this track to get tons of points, you need to do well on two.

Still, the system has not really distributed points to more pipsqueaks, I think. So it is different, but is the change worth it?

Good! Except that... we did not win the team competition, although here it seems so
Fixed! Both the podiums, and the article ;)

ZCT232 seems distant enough to sign up with confidence :)

If afullo agrees, you can swap with him for next month :) You would have a whole 10 days to prepare the track!

You were working on a kindergarden some time ago, and now a primary school! I suppose kids grow up, but that sounds like some serious SimCity work there :D

Wow!  But doesn't Stunts take it as you crossed the finish line?  To me, it'd be the most amazing way to finish a race, ha, ha

You should have a look at this replay then 8)
