Excellent work, @HerrNove and @llm ! It's taking me forever to be able to sit down and play with Restunts, but anyway I can't wait to try the improved build process!

Thanks to @llm 's efforts the restunts code can now be built much faster (1 second instead on 1 minute). I opened a merge request in @dreadnaut 's repo with the changes (https://github.com/4d-stunts/restunts/pull/4).

I would ask all interested devs ( @Duplode , @Cas , @Daniel3D , @Overdrijf  ) to check it out and verify whether it works on their configuration.

1. Duplode - He needs to recover points so I expect him to defend the first place hard.
2. Argammon - Confirming the strong season start but losing by 0.15.
3. MiDiaN - Needs to secure a podium to get out of us amateurs.
4. Alan Rotoi - Will find a great trick in the last days, but will be unwilling to use it to avoid the suspect of having designed the track around that.
5. Spoonboy - With another last-minute surprise replay.
6. KyLiE - His last quiet replay will be good enough to defend over the ones by...
7. Frieshansen &
7. Mark Nailwood - both scoring the same time after a hard fight. 
9. dreadnaut - Slowly returning to form.
10. Mortimer McMire - Sending a quiet replay with the Audi, just good enough to steal the amateur win from me.
11. HerrNove - Hiding a last-minute Audi run, sending it half-heartedly and discovering it's useless. Ending up hating the Quattro even more.
12. Raskolnikovik - Privileging learning the manual transmission over getting the best time this month, but still willing to do well.

Hi,
More grip tests were carried out on the same tracks, but mirrored in order compare with previous results by considering an average lap times for each type of track surface.
With this approach its possible to negate any biased steering behavior bug interference, as far as I get.
You cannot view this attachment. You cannot view this attachment.

Here are all the lap times in "DRIFTM" and "DRIFT2M" tracks (ordered by asphalt path lap times on "DRIFTM"):
You cannot view this attachment.

As expected, on this mirrored tracks the lap times slightly decreases on ice surface path being mostly formed by left turning curves, and increases lap times by opposite cause in dirt surface.

PS: All cars were also tested with similar results between mirrored tracks on Mindscape 1990 game version.

Here is mine:

1) Argammon: Alanrotoi won my track, so I have to win his.  ;D
2) Duplode: Seems motivated this month, and a motivated Duplode is hard to beat.
3) Alan Rotoi: Beats MiDiaN by 0.05 seconds again.
4) MiDiaN: Just behind Alan Rotoi
5) KyLiE: Is in an eternal battle with Frieshansen.
6) Frieshansen: Is in an eternal battle with KyLie
7) Spoonboy: Could score even better if he wasn't racing on a phone.
8.) Herr Nove: Fastest Mercedes lap.
9) Mark Nailwood: Fastest automatic-transmission lap.
10) Zapper: Because he was 10th last month and I can't make my mind up who else it should be.  :)

Quote from: Duplode on March 22, 2025, 12:24:00 AMOne way to eliminate bias that could be more convenient than e.g. reversing the tracks is testing on the Mindscape 1990 game version -- with it, left turns aren't faster than right ones.

I'll try if these new cars are loaded correctly in that version, or alternately, use same path in diferent surface type on distinct tracks.
