Stunts Grand Prix

Original Stunts Grand Prix logo by Lukas Loehrer

Stunts Grand Prix, also referred to as Stunts GP, was an early Stunts contest managed by Lukas Loehrer, aka Luke, from August 1997 to May 1998.

At the time, the now standard game version BB 1.1 was not available on the web, and racers took part using either MS 1.1 or BB 1.0 version. BB 1.0 users were allowed to use the Contest Car 0.85 created by Luke. The improved Contest Car 0.9 was not used in this competition as it was released after the last track of Stunts GP was finished, in August 1998.

There were important rule changes during the sole season of the competition. At first, rules were no shortcuts and NoRH, but from the second track onwards continuing replays was tolerated; and for the last two tracks shortcuts were allowed.

Season Podium

Luke appears to never have declared a champion officially, perhaps because the contest was interrupted either one or two races before planned. Below is the season podium as it stood after the tenth and final race, held in May 1998.

Lukas let racer use the three versions of the game: BB 1.0, BB 1.1 and MS 1.1 but in the first they have to race with 4D Contest Car 0.85, an early version of 4D Contest Car while if you race with any of the two last versions you should have race with Porsche March Indy.
