 | | ● KyLiE @2025-08-31 12:05:53 UTC | | @Victor Narl, yes, it's something different, but I think it'll be an enjoyable race nonetheless. |
|
 | ● Victor Narl   @2025-08-31 11:31:52 UTC | | @KyLiE, the track looks very long. With Indy (v1.0) using PG and RH, it took me 2:05:40. Presumably, even more time is needed with the declared car. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-31 05:34:44 UTC | @Victor Narl, it sure is!  |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-30 05:18:07 UTC | | @Erik Barros, thanks for the congratulations. I left Zak because Professor was unfairly and unsportsmanlike kicked out of the competition, even though a regular forum ban would have been enough. |
|
 | | ● Erik Barros @2025-08-30 04:35:49 UTC | | Congratulations @Duplode, @Victor Narl and @Argammon!!! I hope you enjoyed the race! Happy birthday @Victor Narl! |
|
 | | ● Duplode @2025-08-30 02:35:48 UTC | | Nice to see you here, @Ryoma! |
|
 | | ● Cas @2025-08-29 12:57:05 UTC | | Thanks, @Victor Narl. I'm glad you find it appropriate. Please do let us know about any concern, anytime. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-29 07:01:03 UTC | | @KyLiE, @Cas, thanks for fixing the icon design. This icon is very suitable. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-29 06:25:11 UTC | | @Ryoma, that's a good suggestion, but I think we'll stick with the information icon for now. It's neutral, instantly recognisable, and has the added benefit of being useful for other purposes. |
|
 | | ● Ryoma @2025-08-29 04:55:13 UTC | | Maybe you can change the icône to an eye? Meaning shall be seen. |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-29 02:36:45 UTC | Thanks, @KyLiE, for updating the icons. Indeed, I was mistaken in my calculation with the number of races left. Still, @Victor Narl has nearly secured the championship, though not as comfortably as I had estimated. @Alain Il Professore, thank you. I appreciate suggestions, but I actually like my answer  |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-29 02:15:50 UTC | | Regarding the races left in the season, @Cas was referring to your ability to win the championship. There are definitely four races left, including one in December. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-29 02:15:08 UTC | | It's been said several times already, but the virtual off-road flag doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with your replay. In saying that, I understand that the warning icon may be concerning. Because of this, I've changed the icon for both replays in question. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-29 02:14:08 UTC | | @Victor Narl, I've just checked your replay and can confirm that @Cas is using the correct camera angle. Firstly, he's referring to the sharp corner on the hill before the tunnel, not the chicane, and secondly, the rules state that you must rotate the viewport upwards to the maximum, not zoom it out. The screenshots that @Alain Il Professore posted earlier show the correct camera angle. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-28 19:18:20 UTC | | @Cas, please answer the question about the remaining races. You said (2025-08-27 00:29:52 UTC) that there are 3 races left. Does that mean there will be no race in December? |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-28 17:46:05 UTC | | @Cas, in the situation with Duplode (replay R4K1251) you were also mistaken. According to the rules, you need to look from the top camera taken at the maximum distance and not from any other. Screenshot: https://files.webmoney.com/files/yjdQVQLt - at the farthest distance of the camera, his car touches the road with both front and rear pixels. There can be no gap with the road. I ask you to remove the VOR sign for Duplode too. |
|
 | | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-28 16:52:31 UTC | My  friend, a better answer would have been "I apologize, there was no wrongdoing AND I REMOVE THE ICON". If that's too painful to be done immediately, I feel for you... but a competition can't be held without its competitors' honest feedback, and there's a saying I will always remember: "Don't play a game with the people who WROTE the rules". |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-28 16:17:57 UTC | | @Cas, what camera are you looking at? In the farthest distance, my car fits completely in the chicane, touching the road with both front and rear pixels at the same time. Let's call KyLiE to check the replay again and confirm? OK? |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-28 15:51:44 UTC | | I've participated in the past in a tournament where VOR was not accepted, so it could also be useful for the posters to identify these replays to not reuse them for other tournaments on the same track, for example. I think it's a feature meant to be highlighted. |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-28 15:49:27 UTC | | @Victor Narl, @Alain Il Professore, the "virtual off-road" isn't any kind of wrongdoing. Maybe I should create another icon for this kind of marking, as the warning sign seems to suggest there's something wrong. The idea is that somebody downloading historical replays can easily locate replays in which something unusual happened. There are other replays in the past with other special features that have been marked. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-27 21:42:41 UTC | | @Argammon, great race and great laps. Thanks for the congratulations. |
|
| | ● Argammon @2025-08-27 18:24:41 UTC | | Congrats Duplode and Victor Narl for Gold and Silver. Good performances also in the NoRH race. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-27 09:11:51 UTC | | Such a perfect apex, BTW. On frame 33.25, OWOOT. On frame 33.30, OWOOT. Perfection. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-27 09:06:12 UTC | For the record, this is a valid curve, not even a "virtual off-road", which does not relate or even exist: the game has no virtual frame hidden between 33.25 and 33.30. Hope my demonstration enlightened your day!  https://imgur.com/7KVgudT.png https://imgur.com/l10JUZ6.png |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-27 08:51:53 UTC | | @Cas, sorry my friend, you have to delete immediately and permanently the virtual off-road flag. It stained unworthily a perfectly valid lap according to the competition rules. I see nowhere in the rules "we will flag virtual off-roads". Now at least if you do it for one participant, you must thoroughly do it for every replay and add it to the written rules. Let's get serious about regulations in the future (last minute slalom blocks relaxed). |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-27 08:16:28 UTC | | Thank you for inspiring us all, Ben Snel, the TITAN. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-27 08:15:02 UTC | | It was a fine and fair play race, with everyone driving at their real level and evenly distributed gaps. I will invest more time in Race For Kicks in the future and advertise this competition format in the upcoming months and years! Thank you for keeping the ISA/IRC spirit alive! |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-27 06:49:54 UTC | | @Cas, are there only 3 races left and not 4? |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-27 06:38:21 UTC | | @Duplode, my congratulations! Super lap! |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-27 06:37:17 UTC | | @Cas, I don't agree about the virtual off-road. Touching the OPOOT in the farthest upper plan of the camera is available at any time with a reserve. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-27 01:30:00 UTC | | Thanks @Cas, and congratulations to @Argammon and @Victor Narl! Bad tactics from me in the NoRH race: if I had prioritised getting the pipe entrance right from the start of my final session, I would have been more of a challenge there. Think before you drive! |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-27 00:29:52 UTC | | And congratulations on the podium, @Duplode, @Victor Narl and @Argammon! @Victor Narl's championship is almost guaranteed now, only needing to participate in all three coming races and to get to any podium position in one of them as long as either @Duplode or @Alan Rotoi win all three last season races! |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-27 00:25:36 UTC | | All replays published! Thanks everybody for another great race Welcome, @stanceboyCZ! Unfortunately, your replay is not valid because of the corkscrew skipped near the beginning, but the rest looks great. Hope to have you here again for the next race! @Victor Narl, the virtual off-road mark is just for curiosity. Your replay is valid. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-26 06:08:05 UTC | | This is Schrödinger's wall - The administrator closed the wall: there may or may not be entries on it. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-25 22:24:18 UTC | | And now, time for some racing! |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-25 21:44:51 UTC | | News from the neighbourhood: Most of the stunts.hu subdomains, including ZakStunts and the Forum, are down at the moment. The stunts.hu Portal itself and a few of the sites, such as Southern Cross, remain accessible. The technical issue which has caused the outage is being looked into. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-25 09:28:35 UTC | | @Alain Il Professore, yup, the counter does the safe thing and rounds down rather than up. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-25 07:51:32 UTC | | Without a countdown, I thought 1 day left with a deadline of the 25th at 23:59 UTC meant it ended this morning! My bad. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-25 07:49:58 UTC | | OK, now I get it! It's ending in 16 hours! My bad. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-24 19:54:02 UTC | | It's 4 hours left from now. Source: trust me bro. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-24 13:16:16 UTC | | Asking for a precise countdown feature on the race page: hours, minutes left on the last day. I don't know how to convert UTC times. Thank you. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-03 21:47:34 UTC | | Thanks for hashing out a solution, @Cas and @KyLiE! And hello @Argammon! |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-03 17:00:55 UTC | | Great to have you posting here, @Argammon! I'm happy that we've been able to find a good solution to the very long-standing slalom block issue Regarding quiet replays, I was doubtful about that initially, but I've recently heard good arguments. The race closing time isn't equally comfortable for everyone. I'd like to test this for some time and if we need, we can enhance the feature according to our needs. |
|
| | ● Argammon @2025-08-03 15:40:48 UTC | | @Victor Narl, I don't care about the DOSReloaded seasonal standings. This year I only care about ZakStunts. Everything else is casual racing. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-03 13:12:10 UTC | | @Argammon, by the way, take a look at DOSReloaded. Professor beat you in points there, but mooh seems to have withdrawn from the championship. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-03 13:09:13 UTC | | @Argammon, glad to see you here. When will your next track be in ZakStunts? The last one was in January of this year. |
|
| | ● Argammon @2025-08-03 09:21:28 UTC | For some context: 1) Victor Narl on the ZakStunts message board on July 27: "@Argammon, my congratulations. you see I came, now keep your promise - you promised to participate in R4K if I come". 2) I wrote this on the R4K board in January: "I think it is great that this competition exists, but I prefer freestyle rules. I suppose for you it is the other way round and you prefer OWOOT rules. What about the following deal: You submit a lap for my ZakStunts track and I submit one for your R4K track?  " |
|
| | ● Argammon @2025-08-03 09:16:28 UTC | | Alright, here is my "promised" lap @Victor Narl. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-03 07:40:07 UTC | | @KyLiE, this is a great solution! The spirit of strict OWOOT triumphs again. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-03 01:04:32 UTC | | Since two of our most consistent racers aren't happy with the change, I've revised the rules, again. Driving around the outside of the slalom is not allowed. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-02 17:35:05 UTC | | @KyLiE, I don't agree that cutting along the outer part of the slalom will not bring any gains. Even on the August track, cutting along the right edge of the second slalom clearly leads to a fast apex before entering the pipe. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-02 17:28:31 UTC | | Regarding GAR, I agree that driving around the outside of a slalom is against the spirit of GAR, but since this issue keeps coming up here and the rules on ZakStunts were only a draft, I thought it might be an oversight. In saying that, I can see that you've put quite a lot of thought and effort into it. It's quite comprehensive! |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-02 17:22:53 UTC | | @Duplode, that makes sense, but it was important to make verification easier without restricting track design. I think the current rules achieve that. Even partially driving on the grass slows you down, so with the exception of flooded tracks, I can't think of a single scenario where driving around the outside would be beneficial. However, I can think of several scenarios where the car would fly over the same section when jumping over a slalom block. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-02 16:42:41 UTC | | As for GAR, that was not an oversight. While I don't remember having talked with Marco about it, dodging a slalom around the outside while on the ground seems so clearly against the spirit of GAR that making it explicit felt like the reasonable thing to do. |
|
| | ● Duplode @2025-08-02 16:35:44 UTC | | @KyLiE, IMO, one thing doesn't have to lead to the other. One simple option would be distinguishing on-the-track from over-the-track: you can fly over the blocks, but if you're on the ground, you must drive between them. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-02 12:08:06 UTC | If only everyone tackled the slalom like @Igor, we would have never had this problem! Alas, this is not the case.  |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-02 11:58:19 UTC | | @Victor Narl, in order to allow jumping over the slalom blocks, it's also necessary to allow driving around the outside due to the way replays are verified. Marco's video on GAR doesn't mention driving around the outside and I suspect that the mention of this in the draft rules on ZakStunts is an oversight. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-02 11:55:56 UTC | | The Rules section has now been updated with the recent changes regarding the slalom and quiet replays. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-02 10:44:16 UTC | | @Cas, @KyLiE, I consider going around the slalom on the outside a shortcut and a refusal to pass the element. Why do we need strict OWOOT if it turns into FOWOOT? Maybe the corkscrew or loop can also be shortened? I think in strict OWOOT, for the slalom, it would be better to follow Marco's rules for GAR. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-02 10:35:52 UTC | | @Cas, I don't think going around the slalom on the outside is a good relaxation of the Strict OWOOT rules. It's also prohibited in GAR. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-02 10:17:52 UTC | | Welcome to the scoreboard, Igor! |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-02 09:57:17 UTC | | @Alain Il Professore, agreed. It kills all the excitement in the last minutes of the race. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-02 09:51:24 UTC | | Adding quiet replays is just a bad decision. |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-02 04:45:37 UTC | | Alright... Because some of you have asked for it, we have a new feature: quiet replays can now be posted in R4K! To post one, it has to be at earliest two days before the deadline and you should've posted another replay before, but not a quiet one. If you guys notice any bugs, let me know! |
|
| | ● Cas @2025-08-02 01:25:32 UTC | | After some internal discussion, plus a poll on Telegram, and considering past events of confusion because of the rules regarding the slalom, we've decided to relax the rules regarding this particular stunt. We'll be giving more details in the Rules section soon! |
|
 | | ● Alan Rotoi @2025-08-01 22:24:47 UTC | | I know what you did last summer with the slalom blocks. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-01 20:46:52 UTC | | I did what I want with the slalom blocks. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-01 12:30:52 UTC | | @KyLiE, now I jumped over 2 slalom blocks at once (the rules say that if 2 blocks touch, then jumping is allowed?), but I did not jump in the very center of the road. I sent a replay so early and made it public in the hope of shedding light on the situation. |
|
| | ● KyLiE @2025-08-01 11:06:34 UTC | | @Victor Narl, the slalom has been a point of contention for quite some time now. Back then, it was understood that if the car was positioned exactly in the middle of the road, you were allowed to jump over the slalom blocks. This is what happens in my replay. Recently, the rules were updated to make verification easier, but that doesn't mean we're going to retroactively invalidate replays. I'll speak with @Cas to see if we can do anything to improve the situation. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-01 08:06:42 UTC | | @Alain Il Professore, oh, those were the golden times when everyone was racing the same cars, not like now with these stupid coefficients that are completely wrong. |
|
| | ● Alain Il Professore @2025-08-01 07:38:53 UTC | | I played a NoRH lap to explore the track. It's looking like the first ZakStunts competition tracks, when Ben Snel and Roy Wiegerinck were the Flying Dutchmen. |
|
| | ● Victor Narl @2025-08-01 06:06:46 UTC | | @KyLiE, returning to your 962 replay on the Default track (1:15.45) - you have 100% overjumping of the right slalom block, while your car lands before the left slalom block and does not jump over it. |
