<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />
<br />
From a team competition perspective, the key shift seen in 2013 was the [[Cork's Crew|Cork]]-[[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] duopoly being broken by the newly formed [[Yellow Fleas]] and a resurgent [[Looping Warriors]]. The spearheaders for each of those two teams, [[Renato Biker]] and [[CTG]] respectively, fought hard for victories through the whole season (final score: 6-5). In the end, Renato achieved his second ZakStunts title largely on the back of a massive advantage in [[LTB|leading time bonus]]. As for the team competition, [[Looping Warriors]] defeated the Yellow Fleas by just nine points.<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2014 was held under rules nearly equal to those of the previous season; the only change being that results below 6th place would no longer affect car bonuses for the next race. The list of available cars was also left unchanged. Encouragingly, racer activity was slightly higher on average than in 2013, even considering the circumstantial drop observed in the final races. <br />
<br />
The pursuit of the 2014 title had quite a few twists along the way. [[CTG]] took his second season title with five victories and solid racing throughout the year. Early on, [[Renato Biker]] looked set to be his main opponent; it was not to be, though, as the 2013 winner stepped away from the competition after May. After inconsistent showings in the first half of the season, [[Duplode]] seemed to find some form during the European summer; however, he withdrew his tentative challenge in early October. Other noteworthy events included new records for winning gaps in the team competition ([[Looping Warriors]] defeated [[Cork's Crew]] by 103 points) and in a single race (Renato Biker won Z153 by 15 seconds), and also the two victories of [[Akoss Poo]], his first ones since 2005 and which signalled the completion his gradual return to pack of current top racers.<br />
<br />
Sadly, this season was also infected by scandals again. In March 2015, the championship title of [[CTG]] was revoked by the competition management, mainly because of the newest generation of his [[Agro MotoSport|ghosts]] and general system abusement. After the disqualification of the racer who had this behavior from the moment he joined with admitted ghosts in [[zct13]] (151 races/opportunities to change his attitude), [[Akoss Poo]] became the real champion.<br />
<br />
===2015===<br />
<br />
The fifteenth ZakStunts season started with some big changes. The most radical of them was the adoption of public replay submissions, mandatory during the first half of the race and optional in the remainder of it, in a bid to make the competition more accessible to newcomers. Other rule changes included eliminating the unpopular endurance bonus, dropping support of game versions other than [[BB 1.1]] and a switch from month long to four-week long rounds. As for the cars, the [[Lotus Esprit]], [[ZR1 GT3]] and [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] were replaced by the [[Porsche 911 Turbo]], [[Xylocaine XF]] and the returning [[Speedgate XSD]].<br />

<p>Zaqrack: /* Racers */ - 2015</p>
<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />
<br />
From a team competition perspective, the key shift seen in 2013 was the [[Cork's Crew|Cork]]-[[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] duopoly being broken by the newly formed [[Yellow Fleas]] and a resurgent [[Looping Warriors]]. The spearheaders for each of those two teams, [[Renato Biker]] and [[CTG]] respectively, fought hard for victories through the whole season (final score: 6-5). In the end, Renato achieved his second ZakStunts title largely on the back of a massive advantage in [[LTB|leading time bonus]]. As for the team competition, [[Looping Warriors]] defeated the Yellow Fleas by just nine points.<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2014 was held under rules nearly equal to those of the previous season; the only change being that results below 6th place would no longer affect car bonuses for the next race. The list of available cars was also left unchanged. Encouragingly, racer activity was slightly higher on average than in 2013, even considering the circumstantial drop observed in the final races. <br />
<br />
The pursuit of the 2014 title had quite a few twists along the way. [[CTG]] took his second season title with five victories and solid racing throughout the year. Early on, [[Renato Biker]] looked set to be his main opponent; it was not to be, though, as the 2013 winner stepped away from the competition after May. After inconsistent showings in the first half of the season, [[Duplode]] seemed to find some form during the European summer; however, he withdrew his tentative challenge in early October. Other noteworthy events included new records for winning gaps in the team competition ([[Looping Warriors]] defeated [[Cork's Crew]] by 103 points) and in a single race (Renato Biker won Z153 by 15 seconds), and also the two victories of [[Akoss Poo]], his first ones since 2005 and which signalled the completion his gradual return to pack of current top racers.<br />
<br />
Sadly, this season was also infected by scandals again. In March 2015, the championship title of [[CTG]] was revoked by the competition management, mainly because of the newest generation of his [[Agro MotoSport|ghosts]] and general system abusement. After the disqualification of the racer who had this behavior from the moment he joined with admitted ghosts in [[zct13]] (151 races/opportunities to change his attitude), [[Akoss Poo]] became the real champion.<br />
<br />
===2015===<br />
<br />
The fifteenth ZakStunts season started with some big changes. The most radical of them was the adoption of public replay submissions, mandatory during the first half of the race and optional in the remainder of it, in a bid to make the competition more accessible to newcomers. Other rule changes included eliminating the unpopular endurance bonus, dropping support of game versions other than [[BB 1.1]] and a switch from month long to four-week long rounds. As for the cars, the [[Lotus Esprit]], [[ZR1 GT3]] and [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] were replaced by the [[Porsche 911 Turbo]], [[Xylocaine XF]] and the returning [[Speedgate XSD]].<br />

<p>Zaqrack: /* Teams */ - 2015</p>
<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />
<br />
From a team competition perspective, the key shift seen in 2013 was the [[Cork's Crew|Cork]]-[[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] duopoly being broken by the newly formed [[Yellow Fleas]] and a resurgent [[Looping Warriors]]. The spearheaders for each of those two teams, [[Renato Biker]] and [[CTG]] respectively, fought hard for victories through the whole season (final score: 6-5). In the end, Renato achieved his second ZakStunts title largely on the back of a massive advantage in [[LTB|leading time bonus]]. As for the team competition, [[Looping Warriors]] defeated the Yellow Fleas by just nine points.<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2014 was held under rules nearly equal to those of the previous season; the only change being that results below 6th place would no longer affect car bonuses for the next race. The list of available cars was also left unchanged. Encouragingly, racer activity was slightly higher on average than in 2013, even considering the circumstantial drop observed in the final races. <br />
<br />
The pursuit of the 2014 title had quite a few twists along the way. [[CTG]] took his second season title with five victories and solid racing throughout the year. Early on, [[Renato Biker]] looked set to be his main opponent; it was not to be, though, as the 2013 winner stepped away from the competition after May. After inconsistent showings in the first half of the season, [[Duplode]] seemed to find some form during the European summer; however, he withdrew his tentative challenge in early October. Other noteworthy events included new records for winning gaps in the team competition ([[Looping Warriors]] defeated [[Cork's Crew]] by 103 points) and in a single race (Renato Biker won Z153 by 15 seconds), and also the two victories of [[Akoss Poo]], his first ones since 2005 and which signalled the completion his gradual return to pack of current top racers.<br />
<br />
Sadly, this season was also infected by scandals again. In March 2015, the championship title of [[CTG]] was revoked by the competition management, mainly because of the newest generation of his [[Agro MotoSport|ghosts]] and general system abusement. After the disqualification of the racer who had this behavior from the moment he joined with admitted ghosts in [[zct13]] (151 races/opportunities to change his attitude), [[Akoss Poo]] became the real champion.<br />
<br />
===2015===<br />
<br />
The fifteenth ZakStunts season started with some big changes. The most radical of them was the adoption of public replay submissions, mandatory during the first half of the race and optional in the remainder of it, in a bid to make the competition more accessible to newcomers. Other rule changes included eliminating the unpopular endurance bonus, dropping support of game versions other than [[BB 1.1]] and a switch from month long to four-week long rounds. As for the cars, the [[Lotus Esprit]], [[ZR1 GT3]] and [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] were replaced by the [[Porsche 911 Turbo]], [[Xylocaine XF]] and the returning [[Speedgate XSD]].<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />

[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />
<br />
From a team competition perspective, the key shift seen in 2013 was the [[Cork's Crew|Cork]]-[[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] duopoly being broken by the newly formed [[Yellow Fleas]] and a resurgent [[Looping Warriors]]. The spearheaders for each of those two teams, [[Renato Biker]] and [[CTG]] respectively, fought hard for victories through the whole season (final score: 6-5). In the end, Renato achieved his second ZakStunts title largely on the back of a massive advantage in [[LTB|leading time bonus]]. As for the team competition, [[Looping Warriors]] defeated the Yellow Fleas by just nine points.<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2014 was held under rules nearly equal to those of the previous season; the only change being that results below 6th place would no longer affect car bonuses for the next race. The list of available cars was also left unchanged. Encouragingly, racer activity was slightly higher on average than in 2013, even considering the circumstantial drop observed in the final races. <br />
<br />
The pursuit of the 2014 title had quite a few twists along the way. [[CTG]] took his second season title with five victories and solid racing throughout the year. Early on, [[Renato Biker]] looked set to be his main opponent; it was not to be, though, as the 2013 winner stepped away from the competition after May. After inconsistent showings in the first half of the season, [[Duplode]] seemed to find some form during the European summer; however, he withdrew his tentative challenge in early October. Other noteworthy events included new records for winning gaps in the team competition ([[Looping Warriors]] defeated [[Cork's Crew]] by 103 points) and in a single race (Renato Biker won Z153 by 15 seconds), and also the two victories of [[Akoss Poo]], his first ones since 2005 and which signalled the completion his gradual return to pack of current top racers.<br />
<br />
Sadly, this season was also infected by scandals again. In March 2015, the championship title of [[CTG]] was revoked by the competition management, mainly because of the newest generation of his [[Agro MotoSport|ghosts]] and general system abusement. After the disqualification of the racer who had this behavior from the moment he joined with admitted ghosts in [[zct13]] (151 races/opportunities to change his attitude), [[Akoss Poo]] became the real champion.<br />
<br />
===2015===<br />
<br />
The fifteenth ZakStunts season started with some big changes. The most radical of them was the adoption of public replay submissions, mandatory during the first half of the race and optional in the remainder of it, in a bid to make the competition more accessible to newcomers. Other rule changes included eliminating the unpopular endurance bonus, dropping support of game versions other than [[BB 1.1]] and a switch from month long to four-week long rounds. As for the cars, the [[Lotus Esprit]], [[ZR1 GT3]] and [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] were replaced by the [[Porsche 911 Turbo]], [[Xylocaine XF]] and the returning [[Speedgate XSD]].<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />
<br />
From a team competition perspective, the key shift seen in 2013 was the [[Cork's Crew|Cork]]-[[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] duopoly being broken by the newly formed [[Yellow Fleas]] and a resurgent [[Looping Warriors]]. The spearheaders for each of those two teams, [[Renato Biker]] and [[CTG]] respectively, fought hard for victories through the whole season (final score: 6-5). In the end, Renato achieved his second ZakStunts title largely on the back of a massive advantage in [[LTB|leading time bonus]]. As for the team competition, [[Looping Warriors]] defeated the Yellow Fleas by just nine points.<br />
<br />
===2014===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2014 was held under rules nearly equal to those of the previous season; the only change being that results below 6th place would no longer affect car bonuses for the next race. The list of available cars was also left unchanged. Encouragingly, racer activity was slightly higher on average than in 2013, even considering the circumstantial drop observed in the final races. <br />
<br />
The pursuit of the 2014 title had quite a few twists along the way. [[CTG]] took his second season title with five victories and solid racing throughout the year. Early on, [[Renato Biker]] looked set to be his main opponent; it was not to be, though, as the 2013 winner stepped away from the competition after May. After inconsistent showings in the first half of the season, [[Duplode]] seemed to find some form during the European summer; however, he withdrew his tentative challenge in early October. Other noteworthy events included new records for winning gaps in the team competition ([[Looping Warriors]] defeated [[Cork's Crew]] by 103 points) and in a single race (Renato Biker won Z153 by 15 seconds), and also the two victories of [[Akoss Poo]], his first ones since 2005 and which signalled the completion his gradual return to pack of current top racers.<br />
<br />
Sadly, this season was also infected by scandals again. In March 2015, the championship title of [[CTG]] was revoked by the competition management, mainly because of the newest generation of his [[Agro MotoSport|ghosts]] and general system abusement. After the disqualification of the racer who had this behavior from the moment he joined with admitted ghosts in [[zct13]] (151 races/opportunities to change his attitude), [[Akoss Poo]] became the real champion.<br />
<br />
===2015===<br />
<br />
The fifteenth ZakStunts season started with some big changes. The most radical of them was the adoption of public replay submissions, mandatory during the first half of the race and optional in the remainder of it, in a bid to make the competition more accessible to newcomers. Other rule changes included eliminating the unpopular endurance bonus, dropping support of game versions other than [[BB 1.1]] and a switch from month long to four-week long rounds. As for the cars, the [[Lotus Esprit]], [[ZR1 GT3]] and [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] were replaced by the [[Porsche 911 Turbo]], [[Xylocaine XF]] and the returning [[Speedgate XSD]].<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<p>Zaqrack: 2014 winners</p>
<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<p>Zaqrack: 2013 season results</p>
<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />

[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem was resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season in which all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with three victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 13th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously), and endurance bonus points would be given to reward participation in more than eight races. Unlike in previous seasons, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the multi-car system to provide more even car-switching dynamics.<br />
<br />
The 2012 season was full of positives, including significantly increased activity both on and off the scoreboards, highly-rated tracks and some truly memorable battles. [[Duplode]] managed to retain the ZakStunts crown, thus becoming the first triple champion of the competition. Unusually for ZakStunts, his title defence was largely sustained by a very strong start to the season, with victories in the first three races. Overall, there was no clear domination of the scoreboards neither by the champion nor by anyone else. At one point, [[Gutix]] appeared to be mounting a serious challenge, but it faded away towards the end of the season. [[Renato Biker]] was in astonishing form throughout the European summer; having missed the first five rounds, however, he was not in contention for the title. Neither of these South American challengers made it to the final podium, however. Instead, returning [[Friker]] established himself as a top racer with a second place, a mere two points ahead of [[CTG]], who completed the podium. As for the team competition, [[Cork's Crew]] recovered the title after two consecutive [[MeganiuM Aces High]] victories. Another remarkable fact about the season is that, after more than three years, there were two new race winners in the closing rounds of 2012: [[SuperBrian]] in Z136 and Friker in Z137.<br />
<br />
===2013===<br />
<br />
Evergreen ZakStunts began 2013 with minor rule adjustments, aimed at correcting some distortions introduced by the changes in the previous year. The three, rather than four, worst results of each racer were now discounted, and the maximum endurance bonus points was cut by half. Most noticeably, the list of allowed [[custom cars]] was modified. The beloved [[Melange]] returned to ZakStunts; additionally, the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]] and the [[ZR1 GT3]] were included. [[Skyline]], [[Speedgate]] and [[Superkart]] had to make way for the introduced cars.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<hr />
<div>Slovakian racer who had his début at the first [[ZakStunts]] 2009 race, immediately causing a sensation with a fourth place in a large and competitive racing field. Arguably the strongest newbie of the early years of all-cars ZakStunts, Friker had a number of solid performances in the rest of 2009, even fighting for LTB in [[ZCT|Z97]]. Even though his participation rate winded down towards the end of the season, he dominated the ZakStunts newbie league, and achieved a 7th place overall. Afer spending two years away from competition, Friker returned to ZakStunts in 2012 racing at just as a high level as in his early races, achieving the third place on the podium and +2 LTB with a high margin on ZCT128.<br />
<br />
Friker was also one of the founders of the 2009 all-newbie team [[Crashper's Domination]]. <br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the [[Kalpen Competition]] closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. Additionally, [[custom cars]] were added to the car pool. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. A major improvement to note was the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life. The set of available custom cars was revised, and there were minor adjustments to the bonus system; other than that rules were left pretty much unchanged. <br />
<br />
The season had a rocky start, with racer activity reaching dangerously close to 2007 levels. There was marked improvement through the second half of the year, however; and newbie activity was slightly higher than in 2010.<br />
<br />
The title race in 2011 was dominated by the champions of the previous two years, [[Duplode]] and [[Gutix]], who had eight victories between them. Largely on the basis of regularity, Duplode sealed the title and became a double champion, with [[Gutix]] and [[AbuRaf70]] completing the season podium. Meanwhile, [[MeganiuM Aces High|MeganiuM]] ensured the team trophy would remain in Argentina in a season where all of its four active racers managed at least one race medal.<br />
<br />
===2012===<br />
<br />
ZakStunts 2012 opened with a few rule changes, the most important of them being that overall scores would be calculated dropping the four worst results of each racer (as opposed to the two worst ones, as it had been previously). Unlike in the other seasons since the multi-car rulses were adopted, car bonuses were not reset at the beginning of the season, taking advantage of the improved stability of the system to provide more even car-switching dynamics. The new season started under a positive mood and with encouraging activity, ideal settings for old veterans and young pipsqueaks to battle at the pinnacle of Stunts competition...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. Two major improvements to note were the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface, and the introduction of user-made cars made cars in the car pool. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life... The manager's aim is to continue with the ruleset of 2010 and giving more place for user made cars. Hopefully we will welcome some talented newbies too...<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. Two major improvements to note were the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface, and the introduction of user-made cars made cars in the car pool. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life... The manager's aim is to continue with the ruleset of 2010 and giving more place for user made cars. Hopefully we will welcome some talented newbies too...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. Two major improvements to note were the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface, and the introduction of user-made cars made cars in the car pool. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life... The manager's aim is to continue with the ruleset of 2010 and giving more place for user made cars. Hopefully we will welcome some talented newbies too...<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />
<br />
===2010===<br />
<br />
The 10th ZakStunts season continued with a slightly adjusted 2009 ruleset. Two major improvements to note were the revamped archive system including all results from 2004 in an easy to access interface, and the introduction of user-made cars made cars in the car pool. <br />
<br />
This season was characterized by a low, but steady number of racers, and the almost complete lack of newbies. Former racers from all around the past years of ZakStunts raced, but there were no newcomers staying with the community for a longer term, and the newbie scoreboards were almost empty throughout the season. Community life in the forum was quite passive too.<br />
<br />
Even though the racer number was low compared to previous seasons, the level of competition was quite high, and a place on the podium was never given easily. <br />
<br />
We crowned our second double champion, [[Gutix]], who dominated the season. Former champions [[Renato Biker]] and [[Duplode]] came second and third. The team trophy was taken back by [[MeganiuM Aces High]].<br />
<br />
<br />
===2011===<br />
<br />
The 11th ZakStunts season started after a short delay, on the first of February, due to the personal changes in [[Zak McKracken]]'s life... The manager's aim is to continue with the ruleset of 2010 and giving more place for user made cars. Hopefully we will welcome some talented newbies too...<br />

<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 10th season it holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is generally considered the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[:Category:Teams|Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers. From October a new feature, [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]], was introduced as opposite to a negative effect of [[Time hiding]].<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]] while [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second even though he joined the competition only in April. The former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]], finished third.<br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Gutix]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 season brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules, mostly to minimize the advantage [[PG]] cars used to have with the bonus system. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break, with both old and new teams taking part. The first races had very high racer activity - comparable to 2005 levels, with several newbies appearing. A parallel competition, the Newbie League, was set up in order to further motivate the new racers.<br />
<br />
2009 will be remembered as the season of comebacks due to the many competition legends who returned to the scoreboards. The climax of the season was [[ZCT100]], the historical 100th race of the competition, of which all ZakStunts champions took part. As for the season results, [[Duplode]] took the title, with [[CTG]] second and [[Bonzai Joe]] third. Several other racers challenged for race wins as well, but none of them raced consistently through the whole season. Similar facts happened in team contest, with the title returning to [[Cork's Crew]] for the first time since 2002.<br />

<hr />
<div>'''Stunts''' is a racing game from the year 1990. The game was programmed by [[DSI]] and published by [[Brøderbund]] in [[Game versions|versions]] 1.0 and 1.1 for PC. At the same time, [[Mindscape]] released the game under the name '''[[4D Sports Driving]]''', in an alternate version 1.1 for PC and 1.2 for the [[Amiga]]. A final Japan-only release, labelled ''4D Driving 1.0'', would later be made for [[FM Towns]] and [[PC-9801]] systems. The game had fully-3D polygonal graphics, which were stunning and revolutionary at that time. The influence from the predecessor [[Test Drive]] (also developed by [[DSI]]) was easy to spot because of the similar graphics and game structure. <br />
<br />
==The game== <br />
<br />
On a big square area defined and surrounded by a fence you can race on a track (or off the track) in different [[:Category:Cars|cars]], with either automatic or manual transmission. You can either race against the clock or choose between six different [[Opponents|opponents]]. The goal is to go from start to finish as quickly as possible. A great thing about this game is that you do not have to race only the racing tracks that come with it: there is a built-in [[In-game editor|track editor]] that allows you to design your own tracks with different track parts in a very simple way. The game is called ''Stunts'' because of special track parts such as loops, jumps (over tall buildings!), slalom roads and corkscrews. You can save every race you drive as a so-called [[Replay|"replay"]], and then watch them again and again afterwards from several different perspectives. <br />
<br />
==Stunts today==<br />
<br />
Although the game obviously is more than 10 years old it is still greatly loved all over the world. Already in the middle of the nineties the first websites with information and downloads on Stunts were created. Close to the end of the 90’s, the game was first declared abandonware and then finally declared freeware by the game developers themselves, allowing many people to rediscover it. The game spread quickly over the internet because the game size is less than 1MB when zipped, an important consideration back then. <br />
When the first online [[:Category:Competitions|competitions]] (in which the competition master would receive race replays on specific tracks per email) started, the game began - considering its age - to boom. Up to this day, as the game approaches twenty years of existence, there is a solid worldwide Stunts [[:Category:Community|community]]. Several competitions are active right now, and there are tens of [[Stunts websites]], a very lively [[Stunts Forum]]. Even [[World Stunts Meeting]]s became a reality, with three editions having been held as of now.<br />
<br />
==Running the game==<br />
<br />
Back in the early nineties, Stunts was made to be runnable on a wide assortment of computers - even the lowly XT's were fair game! Nowadays, players often face the opposite problem of making an old game run under modern hardware/software, and Stunts is no exception. Purists will of course prefer playing on their legacy 386/486 machines, or at least from an actual DOS OS using a bootdisk, but that option gets more and more inconvenient as the years go by. Old Windows 95 and 98 systems have access to MS-DOS, but XP and above have poor DOS emulation for our purposes, leading to lack of sound, slowdowns and other glitches. Fortunately, there is an alternate approach thanks to [[DOSBox]], the famous DOS emulator. It allows Stunts to run virtually flawlessly under not only XP and Vista but also Linux, Mac OS, etc. People with slow computers may have some trouble on getting it to work well, but in general it allows an enjoyable playing experience under any machine from ''circa'' 2002 on provided it is properly configured (you can find advice and sample setups on that on the [[DOSBox]] article). Anyway, once you settle for a method of running the game, starting it is straightforward - just run SETUP.EXE once so you can switch between Sound Blaster and PC Speaker sound if you wish and then run the executable - most likely one of the patched executables that bypass the [[Copy protection system|"security system"]], the actual path is likely provided in a readme or on the site from where you got the game.<br />

<p>Zaqrack: added track validation.</p>
<hr />
<div>[[image:Trackeditor.gif|240px|right|thumb|A simple editor to make your own tracks]]<br />
<br />
Easy to handle, this editor allow you to create a track with the use of the mouse, unlike external track editors.<br />
<br />
How to use it ?<br />
Simply click on the chosen track element on the right and put it on the left main screen to put the element on the track. You can switch between the different categories of track elements with F1 to F10 keys or with the mouse by using the white bar below track elements.<br />
You can also edit the terrain (hills, water) by using the SHIFT+F1 keys. This feature is not written in the [[game_manual|game manual]] but is very useful to be known if you don't want to always race in one of the 5 default terrains of the game.<br />
<br />
A documented, but not widely known feature is that you can check the validity of the created track by pressing the C key. This validation is performed the same way when you select driving on the track from the main menu. If the track is invalid, a message is displayed and the cursor moves to the element where the validation failed. <br />
<br />
The in-game track editor is one of the reasons (and probably the most important one) that allowed Stunts to have such a long life and an active community among the years. If Stunts had no track editor, this wiki would have probably never existed.<br />
How many racing games were quickly forgotten just because they had a short life due to a small amount of available tracks ? Stunts is not like that, thanks to this track editing tool.<br />
<br />
But such a tool is not always a key to success. A game similar to Stunts, also created in the beginning of the 1990's, named [[Hard_Driving|Hard Drivin']], and its sequel [[Hard_Driving_2|Hard Drivin' 2]], also had an in-game track editor. But it was such a mess to create a valid track that this game never managed to have Stunts' success.<br />
<br />
In-game track editor has 2 inconvenients : it doesn't show a full view of the track you create and it doesn't allow any [[bugs|bug]] as the game engine has some strict limitations. This is why some [[external_track_editors|external track/terrain editors]] were created by Stunts fans.<br />

<div>CTG: Any configurations for worse computers?<br />
<br />
Sort of... I used to run DOSBox pretty well on our other computer, a Sempron 2600+ like Chulk's, but with only 512MB RAM (processor seems to be far more critical than memory, though). Maybe I still have that config on this machine, I'll post it if I find it. Moreover, I could make it work properly on my deceased Athlon XP 2000+ (which had a mere 256MB...) - the config was not very different from the Sempron one, only with slightly less cycles, 12000 if I remember correctly.<br />

The Stunts Song
2009-08-13T18:18:04Z
<p>Zaqrack: JTK was sadly not there in Kazincbarcika</p>
<hr />
<div>"The Stunts Song" (unofficial name) is a song that has evolved during the three [[WSM]]'s. It began in August 2004, when [[Dinmor]], [[Zak McKracken]], [[Akoss Poo]] and [[Bonzai Joe]] were waiting in a train in Budapest around midnight. Dinmor was eating an Alpenmilch Ritter Sport, it was melting in [[Dinmor]]'s hand and looked slightly like shit. [[Dinmor]] then sang "shitty shitty, shitty Alpenmilch" to the melody of "Venus In Furs" by Velvet Underground - a song which he had been whistling earlier that day. Slightly later, inspired by [[Akoss Poo]]'s idea about eating chili beans from a pussy, Dinmor invented the next verse of the song, which went "chili chili, [[chili beans]] in pina" ("pina" is a Hungarian word for pussy). This was sung a lot during the 2004 meeting. (It's only a rumour that the first two verses were invented by [[Akoss Poo]].) In 2005, the song exploded into several new variations (after [[JTK]] asked [[Akoss Poo]] to invent at least two new variations during that WSM, resulted in songs like "firey ass on closet"). [[JTK]] had brought his guitar to Ã…rhus, and together with Bonzai Joe's piano, this functioned sometimes as accompaniment to what had by then become the Stunts song, or at least the WSM song. The chords had been worked out (they are simply C minor and B flat, although in the original "Venus In Furs" they are different).Heaps of new verses were made, the most famous being: "fisse fotze, foufoune pina pizda" and "Diesel Diesel, Diesel Joe's still drinking". The first referring to what was on Akoss and Krys's minds, and the second referring to [[Diesel Joe]]'s seemingly infinite liver. <br />
With the "Diesel Diesel..." verse, another aspect of the song developed: the storytelling aspect. The racers would sing (always with the same melody) different verses about Diesel Joe, and then use "but Diesel Diesel, Diesel Joe's still drinking" as the refrain. Some of the other verses were "Diesel Diesel, Diesel Joe will vomit", "Diesel Diesel, Diesel Joe will pass out", etc.<br />
Another year passed, then the WSM 2006 came, and once again, several new verses were made. On the trip to Kazincbarcika, in the night in the pavillion of Akoss Poo's father's garden, Dinmor, Bonzai Joe and Akoss Poo sang The Stunts Song for the last time yet, inventing a new variation: a verse would be song (to guitar accompaniment) 4 times. The first 2 normally, then going completely crazy shouting, dragging the beats and making syncopations and preferably vocal harmonies the third time, and finishing off quietly the 4th time. This was much to the distress of Zak and Usrin, who were trying to sleep only a few meters away.<br />
<br />
The most famous verse still remains: "chili chili, [[chili beans]] in pina".<br />

<hr />
<div>'''DOSBox''' is an emulator of an Intel x86 PC running MS-DOS. It is geared towards running games originally developed for MS-DOS. In particular, DOSBox is able to run Stunts almost flawlessly, which is of crucial importance to Stunts racers, not only for allowing the game to be played under recent Windows versions or Linux, but also for making [[NoRH]] racing with video capture viable.<br />
<br />
== Installation guides ==<br />
<br />
The process of getting Stunts to run under DOSBox can be summarized in a few basic steps:<br />
<br />
* Installing DOSBox ([http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1 official download page]);<br />
* Mounting the Stunts folder inside DOSBox and launching the game;<br />
* Tuning the settings until the game runs fluently ([[DOSBox#Number of cycles|number of cycles]] is of particular importance);<br />
* Making the application of settings and launching of the game semi-automatic via .conf files or using a [[DOSBox#Frontends|frontend]] (optional, but recommended for extra convenience) and<br />
* If under Windows, installing ZBMV movie codecs (required if you intend to make and watch recorded laps for NoRH racing).<br />
<br />
Those steps are better explained in a number of external resources, which will be presented now. We suggest you to start with the first two guides, follow their instructions and then check the others and the more specific tips ahead in this article in case there are doubts remaining. <br />
<br />
* [http://digilander.libero.it/stunts.SDR/video.htm SDR Video Tutorials] - probably the most didactic resource available, and the first you should check. "How to play Stunts with DOSBox" gives a rundown of installation under Windows and also explains how to mount the Stunts folder manually and launch the game from DOSBox. "How to make a DOSBox video..." is geared to NoRH racers, demonstrating how a competition lap should be recorded. The videos are available in four languages - English, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese. Courtesy of [[User talk:Mark L. Rivers|Mark L. Rivers]]... ;-) <br />
<br />
*[http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Basic_Setup_and_Installation_of_DosBox Basic Setup and Installation of DOSBox @ DOSBox Wiki] - pretty clear explanations of the fundamentals at DOSBox's official Wiki. Even though it's not Stunts-specific, it can serve as a text reference for the procedures shown at the SDR tutorial. Should you need more technical info on DOSBox, their Wiki is a good place to check. <br />
<br />
* [http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=1283.0 HOWTO: Stunts on WinXP, Win2000, Linux @ Stunts Forum] - The first post by [[User talk:zaqrack|Zak]] explains briefly how to launch Stunts from DOSBox and also how to make a DOSBox .conf file to store settings. It also gives some pretty valuable further advice on configuration, which you'll probably want to check after following one of the tutorials. And most important, if you have doubts about DOSBox and need help, the HOWTO thread is the best place to ask... :)<br />
<br />
* [http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/oldwiki/index.php?page=RunningResourceDemandingGames Running Resource Demanding Games @ Old DOSBox Wiki] - Technical advice on how to lower the resource hunger of DOSBox. Check it if the tips on Zak's post or elsewhere in this article were not enough.<br />
<br />
== General tips ==<br />
<br />
=== Frontends ===<br />
<br />
One of the main obstacles for many racers to get Stunts running properly under DOSBox is the need to manipulate and hand-edit .conf files in order to modify and store settings. Frontends are helper programs which simplify the configuration process of DOSBox a lot. They allow the user to create and manage profiles for different games, each profile being associated with a .conf file. The settings for that game in said .conf file can be modified through the frontend graphical interface, which can be a lot more comfortable than editing the files or Notepad directly. Furthermore, frontends usually provide a very practical way of launching the games from their interface, avoiding the hassle of launching DOSBox and mounting the folders manually. A list of frontends is available [http://frontends.dosbox.com/wiki/Main_Page on this DOSBox Wiki page]; most of them have very similar features. In particular, [[User talk:Duplode|Duplode]] has tried [http://home.quicknet.nl/qn/prive/blankendaalr/dbgl/ DBGL], and it works flawlessly for all Stunts purposes. <br />
<br />
=== Number of cycles ===<br />
<br />
The ''number of cycles'' setting of DOSBox is, by far, the most crucial parameter for adjustment in order to get Stunts to run smoothly. It controls how fast is the virtual processor emulated by DOSBox runs. Since emulation is a quite inefficient process, the actual CPU load is much higher than one would suppose for the number of cycles of the emulated processor. That is the main reason why DOSBox is so processor-intensive. Finding the correct value for the number of cycles setting can be tricky, since setting it too low will make the game sluggish, as the virtual processor will not meet Stunts minimum requirements. Setting it too high, however, won't work either in most cases, as the real CPU of the computer will be overloaded. Therefore, the ideal value is an intermediate "sweet-spot". For instance, assuming one wishes to run Stunts with high-quality settings (scalers for 1024x768, maximum quality sound, etc.), the minimum reasonable number of cycles will be somewhere around 8000. The upper limit depends heavily on the actual processor; while a modern dual-core can easily deal with 20000 cycles, an early 2000's Athlon XP will call for lowering it to ~12000. In general, the slower the processor is, the harder it will be to strike a balance. If tuning only by the number of cycles proves impossible, further fine tuning of graphics and other settings may be necessary.<br />
<br />
== Example configuration files ==<br />
<br />
Here are some sample .conf files for different computers submitted by Stunts racers. In order to use them, paste their contents on a text editor and save the resulting file either overwriting the dosbox.conf on the DOSBox folder (under Windows, in Linux it will be on the Home folder) or as a separate file (if you choose to do so, then launch DOSBox with the command dosbox -conf <path to the .conf file>). If you are using frontends, it is possible, and very convenient, to associate a profile with the .conf file you created that way.<br />
'''Observation''': please note that there are several path locations in those files. They are signaled by the <> brackets. Before using the files, replace them by the appropriate paths for your system - don't forget to put quotation marks should they have any whitespace.<br />

== Issues on running Stunts with DOSBox ==<br />
<br />
Gameplay experience of Stunts under DOSBox can be quite unsatisfactory if compared with normal (pure DOS) execution if the computer is too slow to support the required emulation or the settings are not appropriate, with general sluggishness and reduced control response being the main complaints. Moreover, many veteran racers agree that, even with an ideal DOSBox setup, handling under pure DOS is slightly superior - even if some racers eventually get so used to DOSBox they do not realize the difference anymore. Nevertheless, under a good setup Stunts works very well on DOSBox: no gameplay bugs of any kind are introduced, and competitive racer performance is mostly unaffected.<br />
<br />
On a correctly configured DOSBox, the feature most subject to bugs while running Stunts is sound emulation. When restarting a race, car sounds may become partially or completely mute relatively often. Such behaviour often can be observed when DOSBox is left idle or on background for some time; pausing the emulation with ALT + PAUSE when switching tasks minimizes that and other related occurrences. Those sound bugs usually resolve spontaneously after a while or with some race restarts.<br />

<p>Zaqrack: grammar and styling correction</p>
<hr />
<div>'''8 mins of "Le Stunts"''' has been introduced to Stunts life by [[ISA]] manager [[Pershing II]] in July 2002, as a new sort of competition. Pershing designed a track called 'lestunts', which is virtually endless and thus allowed racers to complete several laps. Between 15th - 21st of July registered participants had to arrange time for meeting at the [[Stunts chatroom]]. Racers were given 15minutes to drive for a duration of 8minutes on the track. The same 'lestunts' track, was used by everyone, but the terrain was slightly changed for each user in order to prevent cheating. Within the available 15 minutes racers had to download their own very special track, drive on it and send the replay to [[Pershing II]]! <br />
LeStunts was a unique kind of live racing, aiming to reduce [[Replay Handling|RH]] usage.<br />
<br />
A winner would have been a team of 3 members, completing the most distance in the 8minute race period, similar to the 24 hour race of Le Mans... The available cars were: [[Porsche 962 IMSA|Porsche 962]] and [[Jaguar XJR9 IMSA|Jaguar XJR9]]. You could choose freely between these two cars. Two teams registered for the first - and so far the last - '''LeStunts''' event: [[Alain]], [[Mingva]] and [[Alan Rotoi]] represented [[Orion]] team, while [[Zak McKracken]], [[Bonzai Joe]] and [[Juank23]] formed another one. Around the 27th of July [[Orion]] virtually won the race, as the other team did not finish the race. <br />

<div>It is really nice to still see you around. :)<br />
Just last week as we were rearranging our flat due to renovation I have found in my drawer the pictures and postcards you sent in 2002. Seems like it was ages ago, feels like yesterday. :D<br />
<br />
You'll see that not much has changed here including good and bad things both. But it is still fun :)<br />

Hi, guys. I missed page for champion team. So decided to stay here on wiki for a while, and to try to update as much as I can. I already contacted with Alain and Krys Toff, maybe they can help with story writing :) Well, it's really a pleasure to read here some info about Stunts life.<br />

<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 8th season holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is often considered as the most influential competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
{{-}}<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers.<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]], while a newbie, joined only in April, named [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second, and the former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]] only finished third. <br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4, and because of the [[Time hiding]] [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]] was intrduced. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Guitx]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break. Several newbies appeared in the first races. Hopefully this gives a further boost to the community this year. <br />

ZakStunts

<p>Zaqrack: /* Medal Table */</p>
<hr />
<div>Long name: [[Zak McKracken]]'s Stunts Competition, or [[Zak McKracken|Zak]]'s Stunts Competition. An online competition running continuously since March 2001, now in its 8th season holds the title of the longest running competition. <br />
It was also the first competition which required racers to drive different cars each month, and also the first one to implement a fully automatic php based replay sending form and scoreboard system. Although there were competitions with higher number of participants, ZakStunts is often considered as the most influencing competition of the online Stunts community.<br />
<br />
<br />
== History of ZakStunts ==<br />
<br />
===2001===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_1.jpg|200px|right|thumb|ZakStunts site ''circa'' 2001...]] The first season only started in March, and only had 9 tracks, as one track, during the summer lasted for two months. The original concept included the [[Opponents]] commenting the sent replays. Competitors mainly arrived from the biggest and best of the time - the [[Kalpen Competition]], and achieved 10 racers/month at most. <br />
<br />
The winner of the season was [[Roy Wiegerinck]], with [[Ben Snel]] and manager [[Zak McKracken]] finishing close. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
===2002===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_3.jpg|200px|left|thumb|2002...]] The second season was the first full-length season of ZakStunts. As the Kalpen competition closed and others not so popular, ZakStunts took the reputation of the biggest and most prestigious competition on the web. This season [[Teams]] were introduced, and racers started to cooperate with each other, or in some strange cases with themselves, using [[Ghosts]]. Racer number reached an incredible 20/month, and the number of replays sent started to get unbearable for the manager. Also ZakStunts didn't only host a competition, but served as an abandonware site too, offering various racing games for download - so raising the number of the site visitors and the racers. <br />
<br />
During the summer months, three so called "Special" tracks were presented, with their averaged result counting as one competition track. These tracks required [[Cheated cars]] or [[Special rules]] to finish, and have shown the potential of some newcomers.<br />
<br />
The winner of the season was expert driver [[Bonzai Joe]], while a newbie, joined only in April, named [[Alan Rotoi]], aka. 'The Dog' came second, and the former champion, [[Roy Wiegerinck]] only finished third. <br />
<br />
===2003===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_4.jpg|200px|right|thumb|2003...]] The third season gave a BIG twist to ZakStunts. Introduced a completely insane point system, and the [[Dual League]], where the top 10 drivers formed the Pro league, and the others the Amateur league, Relegations/place changes on the last/first three places took place each month, Pro/Amateur drivers raced the same tracks. <br />
Of course in order to handle this excessive amount of activity and replays, a semi-automatized PHP system was created and installed by [[Zak McKracken]], where racers could send the replays online, with the help of a web form, and so their times immediately appeared on the [[Scoreboard]]. ZakStunts also stopped to work as an abandonware site, as the required number of racers seemed to be reached (around 20/month)<br />
<br />
In this season, the competition got really fierce and hard, and a previously unknown amount of teamwork was shown by the teams. The community life was also flourishing, with the forum running and night-long chats taking place in the IRC chatroom. <br />
<br />
Apart from all this chaos, a secondary competition (called [[ACT]]) was also hosted, with tracks designed each month by the winner of The 2002 [[Track Design Contest]] (TDC), [[Akoss Poo]]. We can conclude, that 2003 was perhaps the busiest season of ZakStunts. <br />
<br />
Winner of the season was frenchman [[Alain]] from the dominating team [[Orion]], former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] came second, and the third place on the podium was reached by [[Akoss Poo]].<br />
<br />
===2004===<br />
<br />
[[image:Zshist_5.jpg|200px|left|thumb|... and 2004.]]In its fourth season ZakStunts tried to return to a simpler form. [[Dual League]] and secondary competition were dropped, and the point system was also simplified. In order to restrict heavy teamwork, the maximum number of team members was reduced to 4, and because of the [[Time hiding]] [[LTB|Leading Time Bonus]] was intrduced. Another improvement was the [[TDB]] rule, which similar to the 107% rule in Formula One, gave one bonus point to the drivers close to the leader. <br />
<br />
Racer number dropped to an average of 15/month, and the site visitor number to its half. Still, community life was going on, and in August the first [[WSM|World Stunts Meeting]] took place in Budapest. <br />
<br />
With team [[Orion]] falling apart, new top drivers appeared. Thanks to [[Alan Rotoi]] a very strong South-American Stunts scene evolved, and the better racers started to appear on ZakStunts too. One of them became champion: [[Gutix]]. In a hard battle, [[Akoss Poo]] came second, and former champion [[Bonzai Joe]] third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2005===<br />
<br />
In 2005, the rules were more simplified, and the original, simple linear point system was reintroduced with the aid of the successful [[LTB]] The goal of ZakStunts was no more gathering new racers, but to present a demanding competition for the top dogs. Still, the number of participants was a huge surprise, surpassing 30 racers on some tracks. Racers who would have got zero points received fraction points, so a ranking still could be made. <br />
<br />
The community became more compact, but also more active, altough many former regulars have left, there were still 15 racers, who raced on all, or almost all the tracks. We also had the unforgettable second [[WSM]] in Denmark.<br />
<br />
Team race was dominated by the Argentinian-Brazilian team created by [[Alan Rotoi]]: [[Meganium Aces High]]. Alan only stayed in the background, managing his students, like former champion [[Guitx]], and the new champion, who raced like thunder, but never talked: [[Ayrton]]. Former champion [[Alain]] made a successful comeback, and finished second, while the third was the highly evolving Hungarian: [[CTG]]<br />
<br />
<br />
===2006===<br />
<br />
This year not much has changed. The system stayed the same - as it was considered successful, only the first 15 racers received points, not the top twelve. The overall racer number decreased a lot, but there was still a hard core, with 15 racers there, almost each month. Another meeting took place, again in Budapest, perhaps a bit more quiet than the previous ones, but we greeted each other as good old friends, and parted as even better ones :)<br />
<br />
This season was the battle of the teams. [[Meganium Aces High]], [[Cork's Crew]] and [[Orion]] all battled for the Team Champion title, but finally the reborn Orion won beating "Oldies" Cork's and "Dog team" Meganium.<br />
<br />
Nobody managed to win the ZakStunts twice until 2008 - and suprisingly this year again a newbie won the battle: [[Renato Biker]] from Brazil, under the guidance of former champion [[Alain]]. [[CTG]] made another step of improvement, and arrived second, while the best live racer [[Bonzai Joe]] came third. <br />
<br />
At the end of the season, manager [[Zak McKracken]] started to prepare for his state exam and so started lose his motivation, racer number and community activity dropped significantly. Something had to change.<br />
<br />
===2007===<br />
<br />
This year was a major turnaround again. As there were many successful and actively managed competitions running beside ZakStunts, something exceptional had to be offered. The idea was to have special rules each month, similar to the ones used on the summer bonus tracks of 2002.<br />
<br />
Altough some of the rules turned out to be quite intresting and funny, racer number and activity dropped and dropped , barely reaching 10/month, and the manager's motivation sunk with it. Still, the decreased number of racers didn't mean the drop of the competition value, races were still hard as a rock. <br />
<br />
Earlier ZakStunts hosted some guest track designers, but during the summertime, track design was completely handed over to the always fresh, active (and horny :)) [[Krys TOFF]]. A competition without a manager is not a competition - even if it runs by itself. During the summer a season shortening to 9 tracks was announced, and after the 8th track of the season (and the 78th of ZakStunts), when [[CTG]] being the new champion was assured - the competition paused for an indefinite period. <br />
<br />
The break did good to the manager :) He was thinking a lot, and eventually found out, that he can't live without his competition. After several new ideas born and buried, the concept of the 2008 season was announced, and the last track of the current season presented: no [[Special rules]], and a well-known track: [[Default]]. <br />
<br />
<br />
===2008===<br />
<br />
2008 was the rebirth of ZakStunts. The manager admitted that the concept of the special rules was a failure, but as many of the other current successful competitions announced planned closure, there was a need for ZakStunts to go on, and let Stunts live forward. <br />
<br />
The new concept of 2008 can be best defined as "the freedom of choice". Everyone was allowed drive with his chosen car and the achieved times are multiplied with pre-set bonus percentages based on car tests. This way everyone can bring out the best of his talent, using the most favorite or most suitable car for the track. <br />
<br />
After a few minor problems the concept seemed to work fine. Some driver criticized the new concept as it demands more time from the racers and makes the creation of race statistics really hard, but the positive results were clear to see: more racers and more replays sent. <br />
<br />
The main problem of the new car bonus percentage system was the problem of the ever-growing bonuses, which was temporarily solved with bonus adjustments throughout the season. However with the new rule set of the 2009 season this problem seems to be resolved. <br />
<br />
The level of the 2008 competition was clearly above the 2007 level, approaching previously seen lower-activity seasons, such as 2006 and 2004.<br />
<br />
The season was special in the aspect of winner. One racer could do what others could not done before: [[Ayrton]] won the ZakStunts title for the second time, by winning all the tracks throughout the month. Racers of the newer generations, [[Duplode]] and [[Mark L. Rivers]] came second and third.<br />
<br />
<br />
===2009===<br />
The 2009 brought only minor changes and corrections to the 2008 rules. As the community got stronger, the team championship was also restarted after its one-year break. Several newbies appeared in the first races. Hopefully this gives a further boost to the community this year. <br />
