@CTG and Paleke: Sorry, it seems I was a bit confusing there... the (complete) tags indicate I got to retrieve everything... thanks anyway (and to BJ in advance as well)

@Argammon - I knew it was a very classic trick (in fact I first heard of it through BJ's article at ZakStunts), and only referred to my wish of pulling it off myself. Anyway, gonna watch your Z10 lap later 

You could go with Budapest districts then...

I wonder if BJ can show he's the best or he'll let any of you to win.

Oh yes, you reminded me: my tip is BJ by quite some margin...

Very IMSA-ish and quite Mark-ish track, with the 962...I like it. 

Yep, I wanted for quite some time to find an opportunity to use the "fence/water bug" in an actual race And still speaking of that sector, I really enjoy to watch you handling the sharper corners one gear above everyone else...

[ZakStunts:]

Here is the list of what is currently missing (that is, what I couldn't retrieve from the sites):

ZakStunts: Winning replays from ZCT69 (Renato Biker) and ZCT78 (CTG). The lap from ZCT35 (Argammon) seems to be an undocument omission from the old archive.
UnskilledStunts: Winning replay from Krakow (Usrin). A track map with indications for Goi?nia would be nice to have as well.
USL: (complete)
Kalpen: All winning replays but CTRACK2007A - all tracks are available, though.
WRC: Winning replays from last two rallies.
FSC '06: Both winning replays by Bonzai Joe.
SDR-RH: Complete.
SDR-NoRH: Winning replay for Timer (Chulk).
ISM: (complete)
WSC: (complete)
Stunts Brasil: Missng the last track, Beverly Hills, before competition got aborted - the site still exists but the link seems broken.

By the way, a somewhat less "cute"  but anyway possibly useful alternative to water would be placing SDR-style checkpoints on track, possibly delimiting no-PG sections, or even IRC sections...

Wee...

On the other hand, FIA might as well find anoter use for all the excess downforce - that would make racing much more interesting to all of us folks... Check: http://www.grandprix.com/ns/ns19948.html 

(Edit: Link edited, d'oh @ me and thanks Krys...)

So the problem was with the domain... that reminded me of another strange bug - back when the news were posted on the main page, sometimes it happened that updates took longer to appear at wsc.ar.nu than at wstuntsc.iespana.es . And reagrdless of anyhing, my DNS still blocks WSC addresses and thus I still have to use the cgi-proxies - BTW, my "old" proxy links (based on wsc.ar.nu/foro) to the forum are currently functional (from about three days ago on, that is). Anyway, the important thing is the forum is workig again - although it might be useful to keep this topic ative as well...

(And about the Kanjis Krys has metioned: I see them too (or at least <?> marks due to wrong encoding settings), but with those proxies there are so many imperfections on browsing that I betetr ignore that as well... )

I dont' know whether anyone was already working on something similar, but over the last weeks I have been completing and organizing the archive of tracks and winning replays on my Stunts folder with the races from Aug '05 on. Aside from a few significant omissions, which I'll confirm later on, I could find nearly everything on the net. Thus, if Zak or somebody else is interested - e.g. for the projects being discussing lately - just ask...

It depends on conception: I rather think that it wanted to be a 6 speed gearbox car, and it was the easiest solution to perform it in a very old program. So I think it's more correct to say: you don't have to change gear between 1st and 2nd gear (the little figure of the gear lever also shows that there are 6 gears, unlike in the other cars).

Well, the true 288 GTO had a 5-speed transmission. If you look at the Ferrari shifting knob on the dashboard, you'll see one of the positions stands for reverse. Moreover, it is possible to have a 6-speed car in Stunts - in fact, I even did one...

Exactly...

I actually managed to keep PG there... The problem was that my way was slower than losing PG and got me 18 seconds penalty time

Let's say it is "almost" possible...
