	=== Come back (2025–?) ===		=== Come back (2025–?) ===
	Alain founded [[Hyperion Racing Team]] and ~~invited~~ [[Victor Narl]] to ~~build~~ the ~~project~~.
			Alain returned to active Stunts competition in 2025, both as a racer and as a team organiser. On 6 July 2025, he founded [[Hyperion Racing Team]], a new Stunts team presented around mutual encouragement, fair play, courage and imagination. The team was announced on the [https://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=4457.0 Stunts Forum]. Victor Narl joined the project later in July 2025, forming the team's first two-driver core. Alain also launched the [https://hyperionracingteam.win/ Hyperion Racing Team website] and YouTube channel, making the project both a racing team and a media platform for the Stunts community.

			His comeback coincided with a broader revival of his activity in the community. ZakStunts mentioned both Alain's return to competitive Stunts racing and the return of France Stunts after an eighteen-year gap. Through the Hyperion website, Alain relaunched [[France Stunts]] as a modern time-attack competition based on ''Stunts / 4D Sports Driving''. He also contributed tracks to the competition, including [https://hyperionracingteam.win/fsc25/tracksofmonth.php?month=2025-11 FEZ.TRK] and [https://hyperionracingteam.win/fsc25/tracksofmonth.php?month=2025-12 PAU.TRK / Aubisque Valley GP].

			On the track, Alain quickly obtained competitive results under the Hyperion Racing Team banner. In the first months of the revived France Stunts competition, he finished 5th at [https://hyperionracingteam.win/fsc25/month_scoreboards.php?month=2025-09 MARRA] in September 2025, 4th at [https://www.hyperionracingteam.win/fsc25/month_scoreboards.php?month=2025-10 FUTUR] in October 2025, and 3rd at [https://hyperionracingteam.win/fsc25/month_scoreboards.php?month=2025-11 FEZ] in November 2025. In February 2026, Hyperion reported a France Stunts one-two on F2602, with Victor Narl winning and Alain finishing second in 00:56.45. See the [https://hyperionracingteam.win/race_titles.html Hyperion race titles page].

			Alain also scored results for Hyperion in other active competitions. In Race For Kicks R77, “Big in Japan”, in January 2026, he finished second behind Victor Narl, completing a Hyperion one-two. In the first round of CCC Season 3, on Rally Square, Alain finished second overall and won the Lada Niva 4x4 table with a time of 5:02.40, narrowly ahead of Victor Narl by 0.15 seconds. In the Custom Car Championship, he finished second overall in [https://ccc.mystunts.net/index.php?pastrace=03r2 Season 3's Christmas Special at Sweden-3], also winning the Ford Sierra RS Cosworth table. He later won [https://ccc.mystunts.net/index.php?pastrace=04r3 CCC Season 4 Round 3 on Krakow], scoring 21 points ahead of teammate Victor Narl and taking class wins with the Mazda 787B, Lancia LC1 and Audi V8 Quattro DTM.

			This period established Alain's comeback not only as a return to racing, but also as a wider contribution to the Stunts community through team building, competition organisation and media production.

Modifying these values randomly for all images in a car does not appear to have any effect, which suggests this might not have importance for PVS/VSH (= VGA graphics) files. The only exceptions are the 5th and 6th bit of the 3rd element: the former one determines whether the image is stored in transposed (column-major) order, the second whether it's in interlaced order.

	Due to the internal resolution of Stunts (which uses [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_13h VGA Mode 13h]), non-square pixels are used for screen display.

	===~~Icons~~===		===EGA Bitmap images===
	{~~{sectstub}~~}
			EGA bitmaps are only used in a handful of places (notably for the icons of the resource editor). The format is similar to the VGA ones, except:

			* The image data is stored as 4 vertically stacked 1-bpp images, representing the color channels.
			* The unknown[4] determines how these color channels are mapped into the real image. The most common value is <code>{ 0x1, 0x2, 0x4, 0x8 }</code>, where each channel naturally maps into one of the EGA palette color bits ([https://moddingwiki.shikadi.net/wiki/Raw_EGA_data Planar]). However, there are many exceptions. Also, the high nibble of the third element (don't ask) determines which channels are stored in transposed order.
			* The resource is not guaranteed to contain all the four channels entirely. E.g. if the last channel has an unknown of `0` may can be omitted ,resulting in a smaller resource size than expected.
			* The image width is given in bytes. The real pixel width is obtained by multiplying such value by 8.
