Countach is a deliciously difficult car dedicated to experts ("experts" means under 1 minute at Havana track).

Well, I meant experts are those under 59 seconds, not 1 minute.

Oh, no no no : I meant experts are those under 58 seconds.

Finally, it seems that experts are those under 57 seconds, not 58.

I was a bit in doubt.. until I've seen the small line at the bottom.... 
Anyway, if you talked seriously I could not say to be an "expert".... as you will see my final result sent few minutes ago...   And maybe because I chose the "slow left way", as CTG defined it on USL site...

Update only tomorrow afternoon, I'm very busy now with real life work. I'll send the new track soon (in half an hour).

Slow left way is very fast!

Maybe I was wrong... but I used the easier straight...

I always talk seriously !
Answer with the final result update.

Left way is easier but you need magic carpet to avoid losing time with the corner before the pipe. Straight way is longer but brings high speed. I tested bith and result is the same, except that straight gives more speed which is useful for the jumps that follows (I reached 240 mph with my Countach).

Final replay sent to CTG, let's sleep now.

Yes he was serious! Great victory for Krys Toff! Thanks to a classic but a bit forgotten type of shortcut...

CTG vs Mark was the best match of the round, the Italian pipsqueak lost just by some milliseconds against the Countach specialist Hungarian.

Chulk is down, he has no points yet. Somehow he has to push harder because his next opponent will be Mark L. Rivers.

About the multiway choice:

Straight: Krys (but he won with the great trick in another section), Dottore, CTG, AbuRaf 70
Left: CTG, Mark, Chulk, Duplode

I think we can say the two ways were quite equal.

[Duplode]

  I'm speechless...not expecting such a spetacular loss 

Not that it matters anymore (Krys' flying lap put it all into perspective - waiting for the replays!), but I would find it hard to locate any time difference between both paths. Even if one gets to cut the loop at ~160mph without losing speed (any replay?) I would say the straight way would be still around 3 secs longer, and that's roughly what one could recover by being at top speed where the tracks rejoin. Is my analysis correct?

[Mark L. Rivers]

Congratulations to Krys for his big shortcut! 
I was exactly 2" faster than him at the last jump of last long straight but his last part has been wonderful. I tried to make it in last week, but after 2 trials I thought it was impossible... All experience for next time.... 

Congratulations to CTG too!    Our races were very specular, maybe his double jump on the hill before the pipe (I made only one jump) has given him the 0"35 that he mantained for all the rest of the track...

And now I retrieve Chulk... Well, let's see what I can do with a car I don't know so much...

I think all pipsqueaks that took the straight line did this. I did.
And yes, you are correct : I tested both ways and they were equal in the end when reaching the long straight with the jumps.
With the left way and a magic carpet on the grass before the pipe, left way is faster. Else, they are equal, even with jumps on the hill border (I tried that too).
As my goal was to get the max speed possible to perform my magic carpet shortcut, I choosed the right way. If you are only at 230 mph, magic carpet is slightly too short and you end in the river. I had to be at 240 mph, and right way was the best to do it.

For all those who didn't know the car well before this race, I'm sure you learnt a lot. CTG gave advices (mainly regarding accelerator management) and I showed you that at high speed you can do magic carpets with Countach... If you are an expert. Next Countach race at ZakStunts will be challenging for everyone now I think.

Thanks for the congrats, now it's a duel between CTG and me. Hard fight expected, but I fear to loose...

Is it my eyes or does Dubai track doesn't look like the rabbit of ZCT13 ?

edit : ok, I see, you turned it 90 degrees to the right.

I wanted to change the design and make you forget the rabbit thing.

Amazing replay by Krys! Sorry I haven't raced at my best last 2 races but I've had some problems (many problems actually) for the last 2 weeks and had to race at a friend's house. Anyway, I've re-installed everything and it seems to work perfectly (at least for now) so I'll do my best to beat Mark (with the car I got my first podium in Zakstunts) or else I'm out of chances for the championship.
