[INDY]

August brings a fast track and for this ocation Daniel prepaired a special pack of 7 cars: 2 F1 cars, 4 INDY cars and a very special bonus car, a 5th INDY! Keep reading my friend.

INDY
Your first option is the classic almighty Porsche/March INDY ! Nothing to add. You can also take the option of Ferrari 637, Ryoma's superpowered big nose INDY (be careful, it has power gear too!). The other two Indy are from the "what if Porsche/March doesn't have power gear" pack, the well known Lola/Cosworth Indy one of the protagonists cars at the last live race and the brand new Penske/Chevrolet Indy, built to debut at this event.

F1
About F1 cars you have two options, the good old McLaren Honda MP4/4, the one with Marlboro paintjob, designed by the best in my honest opinion, Zapper. The other F1 option comes from the hundred cars man, Ryoma. It's his red Ferrari 641 also making its debut!

Special guest car!: The father of the custom cars
What about the 7th car of this race?? Well, like the seventh son of a seventh son here is an ancient beast of the Stunts competitions: 4D Contest Car by Lukas Loehrer is back on track. The Contest Car is a slightly tuned up version of Porsche March Indy developed by Lukas Loehrer for the 1.0 versions of the game." now adaptated for the standard Stunts version 1.1. It is one of the oldest custom cars and certainly the first used for competition. As this is the Custom Car Championship this car was a "must".

I hope you'll enjoy the battle of this month. You can race with all cars if you want. Join us here: https://ccc.mystunts.net/index.php

Also you can check the cars in the Stunts wiki: http://wiki.stunts.hu/index.php?title=Custom_cars

A new car has born! Penske Chevrolet was one of the most successful teams in mid/late 80's INDY competition.
You can download it from my drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1f-zy1nrZY5zx9u6Zi4cCoP4ZKXZcUAZ7
Also you can find all my cars there and a list of work-in-progress cars.

This is the wiki article with the details of the cars
http://wiki.stunts.hu/index.php?title=Penske_Chevrolet_Indy

Wow is it a tie?

The original cars has some info about every car when you select one. it is:

Car Name
(sometime a category like IMSA or Indy)

Engine, wheel drive
more engine
cc, HP
0-60 acceleration
top speed
price

All of this information is about the real car but not the game car. We followed this way mostly when building custom cars. I mean it's not 1990 anymore, everybody can google all the specs about the real car but this info makes nonsense in the game. Shall we change it to be more useful to the user at the time of building custom cars?
It's not about if the car is realistic or not but to have as user the truthfull info/specs about the car we will choose.

Now, what kind of information would be useful? We have 9 lines for this. It could be: Name for sure, designer is an option (I add it to my cars), car category if applicable, 0-60 acceleration, 0-100 acceleration maybe, real (ingame) top speed, Half Mile?, transmissions?, flat track top speed maybe?... also a line about grip maybe?

Just an example:

Corvette ZR1


0-60mph: 5.0s
0-100mph: 11.3s
Half Mile: 20.55s
Grip: an easy way to know if it's good or not, like a 1/10 scale or Hard/Easy
Flat track top speed: 180mph
Top Speed: 245mph


What else? What do you think?

Do you know a good site for free image hosting? A site where you could also browse between your uploaded images.

Hey guys there is a new article, an interview of Renato Biker and the collection of his best races! http://zak.stunts.hu/articles/
Enjoy!

It seems a challenging track. I think it was made for Melange or a similar racing car. There are many spots for speed boosts and tricky jumps.

Did you try a car without wheels? It looks the same just floating without wheels... but if you turn the stearing wheel to the sides a number of polygons breakes and moves with your commands. Specifically not polygons but vertices. There are more than 4 and maybe it doesn't takes the first four polygons replacing the wheels there is something more. If we could control this I think it would be useful for non conventional cars maybe a more realistic use for trailers or moving parts of cars and any type of vehicle.

This is a rally track, close to those Krys Toff used to build for WRC Stunts. About the carpack I chose Lancia Delta 2 TD LS. It's good looking car.

[25 races (Seeker1982 225-today)]

Who or when will be? Nobody knows but here is a review of the largest gaps between new race winners. Today we are in the 3rd largest gap ever in zakstunts history. You could say that's bad but not THAT bad. Check the numbers:

• 45 races (Friker 137-182 Marco) December 2012 September 2016 almost 4 years
• 42 races (Duplode 94-136 SuperBrian) 3 years and a half
• 25 races (Seeker1982 225-today) 2 years and 1 month
• 21 races (dreadnaut 194-215 Overdrijf) almost 2 years
• 20 races (Mark L. Rivers 74-94 Duplode) almost 2 years

The top 2 gaps are way larger than the rest.

Never in Zakstunts history LTB determined the champion. It is possible in maths but never happened.

Just 

Italia VS Argentina, June 1st, 15:45 GMT-3 in Wembley Stadium, England.

I'm finishing the 3d shapes of Chevrolet Impala and Plymouth Fury.

I would like to do a third 50's car... what should be as iconic as the others? Ford Thunderbird? any Oldsmobile? maybe a Pontiac? Mercury Monterey? What else?

edit: Pack finished!

https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Chevrolet_Impala
https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Ford_Thunderbird
https://wiki.stunts.hu/wiki/Plymouth_Fury

Today is the census day so all the people who lives in Argentina must stay at home until 18hs GMT-3 and those who likes Stunts must race or build a car.

[Bugatti Chiron]

Drag race!:

Bugatti Chiron vs world champion 2011 Red Bull F1 Car

We have to recycle all the cars we crashed so I propose to race sometimes with our crashed cars This is a Crashed Lamborghini Countach. The performance will be slightly lowered and the 2nd gear won't work . A first version of the 3d shape and the dashboard

3 days left to determinate wich car is the fastest in this track: Lancia Delta Integrale or Lancia Stratos.
My best time is with Delta bit Dups did it faster with Stratos. I guess I can't do it better with Delta.

[You can use the car you want.]

Are you ready for this challenge? Bernie and Skid are... so you!

Track to perform the trick attached below or the link to my drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-TovnErT3AjWz5GEaKXCfsH2CuszJ7HX/view?usp=sharing

You can use the car you want. I tested it with IMSA cars but any fast car could make it.

Later I'll upload the answers to the wiki because I think they are important but hard to find.
1) how many cars the game allows at max?
2) how many tracks per folder the game allows?
3) how many replays?

Fun fact: if you press "P" in the list of tracks or replays it will pause the game instead of searching the files wich starts with P.

Ps: please answer, not a joke.

This is what I like for Stunts too. Slow street cars in a race Such as Renault Kangoo, Renault Twingo, Peugeot 205, etc
