The 4th IMSA Cup is planned to begin in February, and to last to March.
After North America, Australia and Europe, next step is South America.
More infos about it soon.

After talking about it in the "forum improvements" topic, I think RPG deserves its own topic. So here it is.

About money, there is a problem remaining : we earn some when posting, okay, but as it is deconnected with money of RPG character, it means we don't have any money in the RPG. :shock:

Therefore, we can't buy any item nor heal our wounds in Temple and so on. I decreased my life points from 40 points to 20 when I beat one bot and made Mingva flee, but I can't gain my health points back in the Temple. So I can't fight with any chance to win another fight !!!

If bug when beating a bot opponent is solved, it should give some money to our RPG character. But if it's like on other forums I know using this RPG mod, money earned isn't very strong. Experience is earned and allow your character to gain levels and improve capacities, but money earned is not very big.

And, as there's still no weapons, shields, helmets, gloves, armors and so on in the shops, soon we won't be able to beat bots because bots are harder and harder to beat each time you gain a level. And you gain a level around each 3 or 4 victories against bots (depending of the bot beaten and its power).

I hope all will be fully fonctionnal soon as for now all we can do is kill our character and create a new one after one or two fights, won or lost !

So far, Akoss and I made a proposal of track for ZCT 46.
Designed for indy.
Everyone can send a proposal unteil Z45's quiet days.

Here is the map of mine :

Since some days, I try to contact old Stunts fans that have their names on dead Stunts websites. I started with Lukas Loehrer website.
And, so far 2 guys answered : Foeke Zeilstra (a.k.a. FastZ on FPS forums) and OldMan. They were both enthusiastic to discover Stunts competitions still online.
I will continue to search for other Stunts fans everywhere and I hope some will join and stay with us.
Wait and see...

Stunts LOL is close to its end, will it stay in the Stunts Portal after it stopped or not ?
I think stopped competitions should not be forgotten as long as their website is still online.
They are Stunts memory.
ISA/IRC should be also there, even if it's stopped, as its website is still present on the web.

Maybe we should do 2 categories : Active competitions and inactive competitions.
Also, not yearly competitions could be changed from one category to the other depending of their activity.

Or the flag system I suggested many months ago could be used... :roll:

This is on this french island that the 4th rally of WRC Stunts will take place.
This will be a 100% paved road rally.
1st week of competition will begin this saturday, 2nd of October, 21H00 GMT+1. But 1st track may be available a few hours before.
Be there !

To all those who, like me, can't go to the Stunts meeting (I didn't had these 200 euros for this travel :cry:  :cry:  :cry: ), I suggest to encounter all in chatroom.

I suggest saturday evening, something like 20H00 GMT (any other proposal suits me fine too).
All people in the meeting logged from Zak's computer, and all others from their own computers.
This way, all unlucky guys like me will be a little with the lucky ones in the meeting.

What do you think about it ?

I think ZCT 41 predictions deadline will be before I'll be back from holidays, so here are some fully blind predictions for future track... :lol:

1/ Alain (fully active during summer)
2/ Argy's return (why not ?)
3/ Gutix (can't afford to be out of the podium)
4/ Bonzai Joe (preparing the Stunts meeting)
5/ Akoss Poo (more and more away due to competition management)
6/ me (optimistic tip, I won't have so much time to race since the day I'll be back to the end of the race)
7/ Zak (still here, still in top 10)
8/ Mingva (no special reason :lol: )
9 Dark Chaser (motivated again and again)
10/ Oracle (busy more and more with 4DSL)

This is it, the final week of competition for the 3rd Cup.
In Monaco will take place the remake of the 1st Cup final with CTG vs Alan Rotoi, and the 3rd place duel between Mingva and me.
Enjoy. Comments about the track are welcome.

Zak site is back online, so here is the place for you to write your impressions about the Semi-Finals track.
Things are getting harder, and so this track is more difficult than previous ones.
Expect an even more difficult race with my famous "invisible corner" (c) :lol: for the next race at Monaco for Final and 3rd place race. :twisted:

This is the QF (Quarter Finals) track.
I hope to see hard duels.
Let me know what you think of this track. :wink:

And to answer the question that some will ask :
Winner of QF 1 will race vs winner of QF 3 in SF 1 (Semi-Finals 1).
Winner of QF 2 will race vs winner of QF 4 in SF 2.
Happy racing.

This track will last until the end of the Cup.
Short, not very difficult.

And remember everyone can try it, like all other tracks, after the end of the Cup for the permanent "Racing for Pleasure" competition. :wink:

Write here your opinion/comments for this track.
Message to CTG : track is Imola, not Monza. :lol:

It's on !
The 3rd IMSA Cup is on the way.
Qualifications will last 2 weeks, don't forget to send replays before deadline that is 29th of May, 20H00 GMT+1.

I made a kart race this afternoon organised by my job.
I had never raced motor kart, it was a very nice discovery.
we were supposed to be 50, 10 teams of 5 pipsqueaks, but in the end only 40 people enlisted, so we did 10 team of 4 pipsqueaks with a toss.
There was around 5 regular kart pipsqueaks, 5 that tested it once or twice. these 10 were designed as team managers.
I was tossed in team 4. Ok.

Ok, let's go for 10 minutes race to discover the track for everyone.
Mmmm, track isn't very easy, 2 slow difficult parts.
My best lap during this test : 25.180 seconds. Average time, best time of training session is 22.830, but made by a guy that is familiar with kart racing.
Best newbies time was around 24 seconds.
Now, team leaders do a few laps to define starting grid. My team qualified 4th. Good.
Let's go for the race. 3 times 10 minutes racing per pipsqueak.
Quickly, we were leading the race. But 3 teams were very close to us.
Change of drivers, we missed a little time during this change. Now we are 3rd.
Now it's my time, I'm 3rd to race. I gained one place. We were 2nd when I stopped. Very good.

But our 4th driver wasn't very good... He went twice in the tires, lost around 15 seconds each time, and we lost 2 laps to leaders. Now we are 7th when our leader took the kart.
He did a very good race at this moment, bringing us back to 4th place. Nice.
The second pipsqueak goes, still 3rd, still nice.
I go, still 3rd, still nice.
4th pipsqueak goes, and we felt down to 6th place...
3rd part, our leader goes back, and we are 3rd again. Good.
2nd driver, still 3rd. Good. But he entered pit lane too fast, and so I had to wait 20 seconds penalization before leaving pit !!! Grrrr. 20 seconds is almost 1 lap !

When I finally started, I was 5th. I managed to reach 4th place, but 3 leading teams were 2 laps before us.
But in the end the 4th pipsqueak decided not to race his part, and so it's our 1st driver that took the kart for the final part.
Then we found back hope : top 3 teams entered pit at the same time, and so they lost many time ! We are now in the same lap ! Everything is possible !

Unfortunately lost in traffic in the last laps, my teammate was unable to reach the 3rd pipsqueak. Too bad. We finally finished 4th of 10. Quite good for a start. My best lap was 23.020, our leader did his best at 22.560, the 2nd driver did a good 22.890 once. Our 4th pipsqueak never managed to go under 24 seconds...

Then I saw final times, and became angry : 3rd were 13 seconds before us, 2nd were 16 seconds before us, and winners were 17 seconds before us (yes, battle was hard for 1st place until the end : only 4 seconds gap between 1st and 3rd after 2 hours racing :shock: ).
If we had not this penalty of 20 seconds, we could have really fight for victory... And if our 4th pipsqueak had made no mistake during his 1st relay...
That's race, things like that may happen, my anger felt down quickly.
I spent a very nice afternoon, raced 40 minutes in total, and enjoyed it a lot.

Today was the perfect 4 day : team 4, 4th in qualifications, 4 times 10 minutes racing overall, and 4th place. And also a 4th place at Z37.

My arms hurt a little, but I'm happy to have done this competition afternoon.
I suggest everyone to test kart racing, it's really fun.

Little precision : it was an indoor race in karting of Saint-Souplets, karts were 270 cm3, 4 stroke engines (the max allowed in France for indoor kart racing).

There's an error message when I try to write " ' " on the News.

I wanted to write "Bernie's track" and got the error message (can't write to SQL, blablabla...). So I wrote "Bernies track" instead.

Hey, FSC is a phoenix and is coming back from the graveyard.
Track is Olhette, deadline is 15th of March, car is Indy.
Will someone race with me here ?

Ok, be ready for the 3rd WRC Stunts rally that will take place on the icy roads of Sweden.
Prepare yourself for nice driving on the icy lake. :shock:
1st step of the rally will start 6th of March, 21H00 GMT+1. BE THERE !

Now it' official : starting the 1st of January 2004, I'll be member of this team.

If you want to know who co-created this team with me, check THIS movie trailer.
Beware : it's a big (around 1.3 Mb) GIF file, made picture per picture, and people with slow connetcion (like me) should dl it and watch it from their hard drive.

Enjoy. :wink:
