Season's Chat - CCC / Re: an idea for 2025 Christmas...

Congratulations @Victor Narl, @Alain il professore and @Duplode !!
I really enjoyed these races. A lot of tracks and cars. I didn't participate in the last race not of because of lack of time but because I hadn't in my mind the deadline. Thanks for making and managing this event!


I specially wanted to race the Citroën ZX Rallye Raid so I already made a test. Beatiful car, interesting accel/top speed combo, there aren't custom cars with this performance so it's welcome! One note to add, the ingame performance info for 0-60 mph it's wrong. It says "5.30 sec" when instead it is "4.95 sec". I bet we would extract its best potential in very close tracks, full of closed corners, like real rally tracks.

Thanks to all for these great CCC races, and thanks to @Alain il professore for the nice words.

I am sad to have missed the deadline for the third race. In my case, it wasn't a workload problem (although 3 races felt like a lot!). I had all four laps ready, but last night was busy and I got distracted. I had some good times, not sure if it would have changed my leaderboard position?

Anyway I had fun with all tracks, and I am a great fan of CCC. I love the chance to test different cars I might not have driven before, and the change in rules from Zak/R4K is refreshing.
I have some ideas for a future CCC race, so I'll continue to work on that.

Great to race with you all. Looking forward to more in 2026, let's keep pushing!

Oh no! I got distracted and missed the deadline last night!   

It's a shame as I enjoyed this track, though it was a tough challenge as @Victor Narl says. Quick fire, a new challenge on every corner with little rest between.

For the record these were my times:
Ferrari GTO: 2:09.20
Citroën Rallye Raid: 2:24.00
Lancia Delta Evo3: 2:22.30
LM002 Zapper: 2:56.55

So some good results for Citroën and Lancia which I'm happy with. But not enough to beat Victor, so congratulations to him.

I'm now working on my R4K lap, so I'll see you all there.

@Duplode, thanks for the congratulations. I didn't expect such success from myself again. You have created a very interesting and challenging track that completely deprives the opportunity to use the capabilities of PG on the Ferrari. There is only one drawback - the deadline for this stage is too short. I think such a complex track needs at least 10 days. Thanks to all the organizers and designers.

Hello my friends,

As a founding member of Hyperion Racing Team, I just want to say a big THANKS for offering this competition. It's the kind of gift that keeps the community alive... and makes us all reinstall Stunts "just for one run" (yeah civ fans, right).

My warm congratulations go to every participant, I can name them all here : Spoonboy, StanceboyCZ, Alan Rotoi the real (ALA) btw, Duplode, CAS. I want to congratulate also my friend Victor, sbasiba bolchoi tabaritch, pajalousta, keep delivering your wheel art answers thru next CCC special season! Next time, you wont be advantaged by orthodox holidays

At Hyperion Racing Team, we will be your guests again. Will be there, ready to fight for milliseconds, dignity, and maybe a bit of glory. Congrats for the initiative, and thanks again for sharing the fun with everyone.

Thanks for reading, and wish you all the best, STUNTS CCC ... GG.

@Duplode, thanks for the congratulations. This was my debut in CCC and I never expected such success from myself. This was a challenging competition with an unprecedentedly tight deadline. I was only saved by having a lot of free time during those days, but I see that not all the riders were able to cope with such a short deadline, especially in the third stage, and because of this, the competition lost a lot of interest. Therefore, for future similar competitions, I would like to see a more lenient/loyal deadline, and I think other riders will support me in this proposal. Thanks to all the organizers and designers. I would also like to see a new stage of the NTT competition this year.

Competition 2026 / Re: Custom cars for 2026

Last post by Duplode - Today at 08:02:02 AM

After reviewing recent threads, here's my proposal for 2026:

- Ferrari Testarossa
- Melange XGT-88
- Williams Renault FW12C
- Chevrolet Silverado Monster Truck
- DAF Siluro Turbo Spec

And here is my proposal of starting bonuses for this list:



The coefficients were worked out in the same way as last year: start from the end-of-season base bonuses, add the new cars at what should be reasonably competitive values relative to the others, and tweak the numbers so that the global sum stays at 176. A spreadsheet making those steps more explicit is attached.

Competition 2026 / Re: Cars and rules for 2026

Last post by Duplode - Today at 06:59:53 AM

Seeing no further comments, my plan is to confirm the 2025 ruleset, including PTB as-is.

That's a sensible choice.

While I'm on record in favour of keeping PTB as-is for this year with an eye to possibly tweaking the system for 2027, I also wanted to do some analysis of the 2025 PTB data and bring it to the table so we'd have a better picture of how well it worked and potential things to improve. I'm sorry I couldn't come up with that on time for this thread, off-Stunts matters to deal with made it hard for me to sustain focus over these last few months. In any case, I'll work on it as soon as feasible.

(Another thing I was thinking about a few weeks ago was yet another approach to try keeping powergear cars in check. It's fine to leave that for the next preseason as well, if it still makes sense by then -- I do think, after all, that we're slowly but steadily learning how to live with PG under the current rule set.)
