Since Argammon won a ZakStunts championship, who else deserves the title between current and historical pipsqueaks?

Average position and number of races from those who won at least one race in Zakstunts.

Please ask Zak to race at least a list filler! He's the onlyone who raced in all the seasons! He has 11 days to keep his record!!

The team needs a stunts wiki article
Didwe achieved the most quantity of points with current point system? Because you have to roll back to meganium's 2006 to find a higher amount.

Requested by the audience!

It probably will have a sutile change from dreadnaut of course   but it works as a preview.

Is it possible to make a standard appretiation of the car driving difficulty?
Some of the parameters to take in mind are:
GRIP: it would split in 5 (intrinsic, asphalt, dirt, ice and grass) and airborne but only few cars used it.
Power Gear: makes the car a bit harder for exploiting the bug.
Also we have breaks, power, top speed, number of gears, air drag and in a minor scale of difficulty height, size.

Also there are special details of the cars like Speedgate's 1st supergear, Pontiac Firebird's Pursuit mode or Ford Crown Victoria's speed boost.

There are more details and parameters for sure, let's complete the list but now let's focus on the difficulty scale. In Short terms:

Difficulty increses when:
- high speed
- low grip
- low height (also it starts to be harder at very high height)
- big car size
- higher number of gears

About gears we could say that 6 gears is the hardest, 5 gears is a normal difficulty and 4 or less is easy.

As for power gear difficulty maybe Anti-PG is the hardest, then Rigid and Flexible is the easiest.
A digital speedometer would make the car experience easier and also other dashboard details (top dashboard, roof, etc).


For example, LM002 probably is the easiest original car because the low top speed (125mph), very high height, high grip over ice and grass, no power gear and 5 gears.

Ferrari GTO maybe is a hard car because of the normal street car grip and normal breaks wich makes very hard to handle in a power gear. Also the power gear is "rigid" so it's hard to reach it. 5 gears, low height (almost as racing cars). Anyway it has the fastest acceleration of the original street cars and a low air drag.

I think a score where 1 is the easiest and 10 is the hardest, divided by five colors easy to identify (green, light green, yellow, orange and red).

Hi! I'm Patricio "Alan Rotoi" and I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Actually I moved few years ago to Castelar a 10km away from Buenos Aires. I'm 42.

The first time I played Stunts was in October 1993 when my primary school friend Martin shared me the game (Broderbund 1.0 version). Those were the times of my AT286 and Hercules b/w monitor. This Stunts copy was incomplete and the Jaguar was missing (you could watch it in the car showcase but you couldn't play it) so the 1st time I used this car was in my very first race in this community zct14 back in May 2002.

Besides racing and competing I like to build cars thanks to the tools other community members made like Car Blaster, Carworks and Stressed.

I'm not as good as others building tracks so I had to innovate making a big map of tracks that consists in putting track after track together.

My favourite original car was always Porsche 962. Before joining the community it was also the Ferrari GTO but now I would replace it with the Lancia Delta Integrale and Acura NSX. And about custom cars Zapper is in my opinion the best builder. His cars are beatiful (i.e. Lotus Esprit and Ferrari F40).

I found the community in April 2002, the Roy's WMSC competition showed up in a search and I found it was a great idea. I felt I was a very good pipsqueak because hey I beated Skid Vicious most of times! So downloaded the track, played and sent by email a replay to find I was quiet slow between the other pipsqueaks. Also the competition was closed so no participation at all. It was the 23th of April. A week later I found ZakStunts, the 30th of April but the track zct13 ended the same day and I was at work so no time to race. I had to wait a day for the zct14 release.

I'm still playing. Now I upload videos in youtube, about some streammings, new cars releases, replays, live races events. Always there is something new to do and I enjoy it.

Enjoyable track with an interesting shortcut/trick porposal. I don't know which car was made for but we'll find a fun way to use the best car.

Race deadline: 2023-04-09 23:59 UTC

This time you'll have the same pack of cars, all the power gear cars: Porsche March INDY, Ferrari GTO, Corvette ZR-1, Acura NSX, Xylocaine, Ford Crown Victoria (Police Interceptor) and Packard Eight.

Now the task is the opposite, you'll find quiet easy how to reach Power Gear! Start your engines, fasten your seatbelts, enjoy this power gear track and free the Genie!!

really?   Somebody could try what's this?

[live event]

The first live event of the year is coming Saturday 4th of March 2023 in the Chatroom. The time is the following:

• Saturday 09:00 Buenos Aires
• Saturday 09:00 São Paulo
• Saturday 14:00 Amsterdam
• Saturday 14:00 Budapest
• Saturday 14:00 Rome
• Saturday 22:00 Brisbane

The car for this race will be IKA Torino GS (https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/IKA_Torino_GS). The meaning of Torino comes from "toro" ("bull" in Spanish) so, what better name for the track than Bullring?

The car is attached in this topic and also can be downloaded from www.markceccato.com. The track will be revealed few days before the race day. Please confirm here if you want to join us in the 1st live race of the year! Also you can choose a car color listed in the wiki article.

Hi! February track is out! Based on the times uploaded looks like a long track. Mooh, the star of that competition, showed a gif going under the loop wich is ok and possible with a fast car like DTM BMW even without RH.

Just wow!! What a nice improvement of the main page! The dates specification and every stage of the race. Also the map of the track and all the info. I love it! And of course the car podiums! +10 for you dreadnaut and thank you!!

Why ZakStunts 2023 edition download pack has no "Helens" track? Why "Cherris" track name is changed to "Cherry"?     

2 days of competition and what a hype!! A great battle for the leading. Oh and a great new idea: single-car podium scoreboards!

This oldie track is hard. What car is best? Lm002? Lancia? Indy? McLaren? Anyother?

Is there an anime about cars or something similar? I would like to watch something like racing competitions / sports cars / rally cars or something like that I only know Speed pipsqueak but it's quiet oldie. Do you know any modern anime, from the 90's to now?

[Ferrari GTO]

According to the statistics, the popularity of the winner cars (since 2008 when the car bonus rule started) is the following:

16 times Ferrari GTO
15 times Acura NSX
15 times Porsche March INDY
13 times Corvette ZR1
11 times Lamborghini Countach
11 times Audi Quattro Sport
11 times Jaguar XJR9 IMSA
10 times Lancia Delta Integrale
10 times Lamborghini LM002
10 times Porsche 962 IMSA
09 times Porsche Carrera 4

The most winner cars are those with Power Gear. Should we put under a magnifying glass the car bonus rules to make them appear not so often and not so surprising?

Hey last year there was a Stunts Contest! I think this year there is again a contest but it's all in German We should make some advertising and exchange visits there In fact they raced with custom cars like Lotus Esprit or BMW DTM

This was the set of rules:

Route Selection Rules:

- we are collecting routes NOW. Anyone may submit one or more routes. Please PM me, DO NOT attach here

- There are no more predefined vehicles, but the builder is allowed to name vehicles that don't work on his track (this way we avoid having to make everything Lamborghini LM-002 compatible)

- Distances should be max. 2-3 minutes long



Rules for the contest itself:

- we start on 1.1.

- Every month a route and the associated vehicle will be drawn at random

- everyone can submit times until the end of the respective month, so you can always improve. Screenshot is enough as proof, replay does not have to be.

- no shortcuts, no driving through the grass, no shortcuts to obstacles (e.g. looping and corkscrew driving through in any case)

What's the car of the month? Who will win? Why is so flat? Why is so snowy? Is it a Persian Gulf man-made island? Why you can't reach two gift boxes?
