View source for Default (track)

Note: ''This article refers to the track coming with Stunts as default.trk. For the replay, see [[Default (replay)]]''

'''Default''' is one of the six tracks from Stunts' set of pre-made tracks. As the name implies, it is the track selected by default whenever the game is started (and in fact Stunts will fail to start in the lack of a track file named DEFAULT.TRK in the game root directory). Since it is nearly always the very first track a player comes across, as well as being short and relatively simple, Default is commonly used by racers, especially newbies, as a benchmark. Another interesting trait of Default is the presence of two different paths, one of them being substantially longer and somewhat trickier than the other. That design characteristic opens the way for [[dual-way switching]] exploits, necessary for reaching times comparable to the overall records.

Besides holding a number of unofficial or semi-official "permanent competitions", the Default track used for a very special [[ZakStunts]] race, ZCT79 with the [[Porsche March Indy]]. That choice, loaded with symbolism, was motivated by ZCT79 being the closing race for the troubled [[ZakStunts#2007|2007]] ZakStunts season, held only after an unprecedented three month break of the competition. The race, after many successive world record breakings, was won by [[Ayrton]].
