Rounds 4-6

(Note that the server went down during round 4 with thirty seconds remaining, and Erik about to complete a 58.30 lap.)

Rounds 1-3

How to join the race:

• Open https://55bc-71-163-213-194.ngrok-free.app , preferably on a Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Chromium, Edge, Opera...)
• Accept the ngrok warning and visit the page
• Visit https://stunts.hunterboy344.com/
• Enter your name into the Username field, and 55bc-71-163-213-194.ngrok-free.app into the Server field
• Click Connect
• (Remember there's no default replay, so idle inside a car, or the Tracks screen)

Don't forget to join us at the chatroom in a separate tab! https://forum.stunts.hu/chat/

Track maps attached for reference! In order:

sus.trk
divot.trk
riverhill.trk
CHAINS.TRK
simcity.trk
LEVEL5.trk

(Edit: maps replaced to match the order the tracks were raced.)

Here's one more! The track title is Level Five -- there indeed were four earlier tracks here when I started sketching  Tested with the Jaguar; it should be suitable for any of the faster cars on the IMSA/DTM/Indy tiers.

At the end of each 10 minute round, the results of that round are displayed for 20 seconds before the leaderboard is cleared and the next track is loaded. As long as someone copies and pastes those results into a text file every round, we'll have a complete record of each pipsqueak's score. As a "just in case" measure, I personally think everyone should do that at the end of each round to make sure we have the scores even if someone forgets. All in all, not much of an issue, but definitely something to be aware of.

All right    Something related: Stunts Online allows us to download files from the running game. right? (I remember having tried that in the client, at least.) It would be nice if we could save our race replays for posterity.

Oh, one more thing: When the time of the live race rolls around, we should all meet in the live chat. There are a few quirks to Stunts Online and the way I'm hosting the server that I gotta explain before the race starts.

Sure, we meet at the chat for coordination 👍

Saturday 15th and 15:00 UTC are okay for me as well!

@HunterBoy344 has generously offered to host a live race on his Stunts Online server, and I think we should definitely do it 

As usual, we just gotta arrange a date and time will make for a reasonably well-attended race. On the shoutbox, HunterBoy has suggested doing it this Thursday, June 13th. While, personally, I might be able to make it for a quick race in the South American evening, between 22:00 and midnight UTC or so, aligning schedules on a weekday could get tricky. What do y'all think about it?

The ratings have been updated for ZCT274! Four personal best ratings in this round: Mark Nailwood, Spoonboy, Zapper (that remains a very busy slice of the charts BTW!) and me. Below is the updated evolution chart:

I look at these hundreds of track files and I want to see everyone, but I have to load one by one at Bliss to see clearly the track path. It would be great a way to generate the PNG for every track or a program that show the image of each track just clicking the arrow key.

@ZdnBurns The gallery command added in Cartography 1.1, which generates maps for all tracks in a directory, should cover some of that.

The executable in my Stunts folder has now been updated, thanks @Zapper 

A new race has started at CCC! You'll have until June 23rd to find your way around Krys TOFF's ZCT077. Like the usual CCC tracks, it features tunnel checkpoints that have to be crossed through the inside -- here, though, they are sprinkled across an off-road track, and can be driven in any order! As for cars, this being the Custom Car Championship, in addition to the Audi Quattro you'll be able to pick @alanrotoi 's Ford Sierra and, in its competition debut, @CTG and @Ryoma 's Subaru Impreza WRC!

With all said and done, I'd say @Argammon 's experiment was a successful one! The track was enjoyable to race on and nicely rewarded exploration, with all those unusual angles to play with. Quarter corks do have a place in the menu for spicing up things!

For a favourite trick, I think I'll go with @alanrotoi using the tunnel roof!
