Competition 2025 / Re: ZCT001 25 years later

Last post by Duplode - November 10, 2025, 12:39:45 AM

Either separate special race (like Plus 1-2-3 in 2002) or ZCT300, I suggest to restrict the car choice to LM002 - back to classics.

It would be cool to have non-championship "Plus" rounds in that vein, though we'd have to build the support for that on the site. I like the idea of doing it on ZCT300 as a LM002 race, too!

To ensure a LM002 race we wouldn't even need to suspend the bonus system; liberal adjustment of the coefficients for that specific race should suffice. I guess we'd also want to keep the LM002 out of the rotation between ZCT294 and ZCT299, to avoid having a spoiler race earlier in the season (that, too, can be achieved through scheduled usage of admin coefficient adjustments).

What I really missed from becoming a top tier pipsqueak: consistency (and reliable nerves).

I have several weak cars and my performance is heavily depending on reference points.

2002-2003: Tier C
2004-2006: Tier B (a few ZCT victories, mixed with really awful performance in several races)
2007-: Tier A (but far from S), sometimes falling back to B

My best year was 2014 (yeah, the DQF one, main opponents: Duplode, Akoss Poo), probably the closest to Tier S:
P1, P3, P3, P4, P1, P1, P1, P2, P2, P2, P1, DNS

[58 - 30]

Because you did not take it seriously... at least 35-40 times from that.

Duplode is in the season's podium since 2008. This will be his 18th consecutive podium!   Impressive!

Note 4 - Perhaps I made a mistake with some pipsqueak, many of the names are unfamiliar, it's nothing personal

Nice way to sort the pipsqueaks! Only one adjustment, Alain won 2003's championship.

The most similar to GAR rules is France Stunts today.

I gave it a little bit more thought and I got a new idea.

Since some of us have been asking for a GAR competion. Isn't it an idea to open up a gar competition with tracks from the first few seasons? So in race zct294 we have the GAR with Zct001 and in zct295 we have GAR with zct002.

The advantage is that we then probably have more activity in the GAR standings and the older tracks get some extra recognition that they definitely deserve. The downside might be that it's too busy in our already busy schedules to have to two separate tracks to race at the same time, another downside is that it might pull away some OWOOT/GAR fans from the main competition which than wil hurt both competitions.

Again, let me know what you think!

Hey!  As you guys know, I'm travelling. Soon will be back. Just wanted to clarify about my opinions on SDL. I do think SDL is a very good tool and I don't mean to say at all that programming for SDL is in any way easier than programming on a library that's built into the compiler. I just find that SDL is in itself like a language and programming for it in C is a very different experience from just making a C program (or C++). On the other hand, what I try to achieve with my programs is some portability (through time, more than from platform to platform, but both are good). I have not been very successful on that in GNU/Linux and I keep trying to improve that. SDL does not solve this. It solves other things. Still, I've been interesting in trying it many times, but well, I'd like to solve my portability problem first of all. So far, the only solution appears to be to program for DOS

Interesting topic! Here's my tier list:
S Class – Has won a ZakStunts championship
A Class – Has won at least one ZakStunts race
B Class – Has finished on the podium in at least one ZakStunts race
C Class – Has won at least one ZakStunts race in the Amateur League
D Class – Has finished on the podium in at least one ZakStunts Amateur League race
E Class – Has participated in the championship

Note 1 — Mark Nailwood didn't win a championship at ZakStunts, but if you race him in an automatic transmission, you'll be obliterated faster than your lap timer even starts

Note 2 - Victor Narl didn't run enough to reach the podium, but I know he's capable

Note 3 - The names are not listed in order of preference; I simply added them to the list

Note 4 - Perhaps I made a mistake with some pipsqueak, many of the names are unfamiliar, it's nothing personal

Tier list updated... thanks @alanrotoi
