ZakStunts 2008 - Final rules and information

[Duplode]

It's just that PG still looks like a problem. So this month, the indy is superior to all the other cars as it is the only car to reach PG. And it can do so in 99% of all tracks...

I agree to that. Unlike the other PG cars, with Indy it's possible to find a PG way in almost every track (just think of Kalpen's CTRACK-B...). Unfortunately I can't see for now a viable solution that does not involve banning Indy use someway at certain races...

Maybe a dosed and cute use of water... What do you think about the way wherewith drivers have to leave PG in Track B of ISM Eliminatory Round, just after to have crossed the initial lake...?

[zaqrack]

I'll try to keep track relatively PG-free. But believe me, the bonuses will also help. If on this track the full podium will be Indy, thats -1.5% for the Indy. At the same time, all unused cars get +0.5%. The difference is already 2%, which is quite a lot.

"cute" may not be the word I would use to describe water , but this is exactly my idea too.

[CTG]

Sorry Mark, but this one looks horrible...

[Duplode]

But works fine in-track anyway, at least for Indy

I actually managed to keep PG there... The problem was that my way was slower than losing PG and got me 18 seconds penalty time

Let's say it is "almost" possible...

[Duplode]

By the way, a somewhat less "cute"  but anyway possibly useful alternative to water would be placing SDR-style checkpoints on track, possibly delimiting no-PG sections, or even IRC sections...

I see that you actually did the same PG trick there! (except I went left of the bridge). Nice idea to brake at the hillside, I didn't think of that...

[Duplode]

Yep, I wanted for quite some time to find an opportunity to use the "fence/water bug" in an actual race And still speaking of that sector, I really enjoy to watch you handling the sharper corners one gear above everyone else...

@ Duplode

It was used on the corvette track C10 January 2002.

I am still proud of that victory because I didn't use advanced replay handling and I think it is likely Roy used it. Moreover it was my first zakstunts victory ever. 

[Duplode]

@Argammon - I knew it was a very classic trick (in fact I first heard of it through BJ's article at ZakStunts), and only referred to my wish of pulling it off myself. Anyway, gonna watch your Z10 lap later 

[zaqrack]

New rule effective from ZCT84 and onwards:

In order to further improve car balance, if a car received the "non used" +2pts bonus on the previous track as well, it'll receive +3 on the actual track. If it still won't be used, it'll get +4 on the upcoming track and so on...
