 The track file name is, of course, ''DEFAULT.TRK''. It has to be so for the game to properly load it at the begin it. However, there's a very solid theory that suggests that this track must have had an original, more meaningful name.
-A just installed Stunts will include a number of tracks that make reference to five of the six AI opponents that the game has to offer: ''BERNIES.TRK'' for Squealin' Bernie Rubber, ''JOES.TRK'' for Smokin' Joe Stallin, ''CHERRIS.TRK'', for Cherry Chassis, ''HELENS.TRK'' for Helen Wheels (this is a reference to Paul McCartney's car) and ''SKIDS.TRK'' for Skid Vicious (a reference to Sid Vicious, the bassist from the Sex Pistols). There isn't a track name ''OTTOS.TRK'', which would be expected, for Herr Otto Partz. It is thought that, instead of creating a new track to be the default, at some point, DSI decided to just rename Otto's to become Default.

	As of ~~July 2022~~, the Permanent Competition at [[Race For Kicks]], which holds replays for its laps, has a best record achieved by [[~~KyLiE~~]] running [[~~OWOOT~~]] and [[NoRH]] with the [[~~Porsche 962 IMSA~~]] ~~on 26 August 2020. Lap time is 1~~:15.45. The best ~~official Free-Style~~ record~~, also from R4K, is actually longer~~, at 2:23.~~47, by [[1337haxoryt]], with~~ the [[~~Toyota Sprinter Trueno~~]]. ~~As this is far from the best unofficial~~ records, ~~it is expected that, should at some point interest~~ in ~~this track regrow, significant updates would be made in official records both OWOOT and Free-Style~~.		As of February 2025,the Permanent Competition at [[Race For Kicks]], which holds replays for its laps, has a best record achieved by [[Victor Narl]] running [[free-style]] and [[NoRH]] with the [[Ferrari 641/2 F1-90]] at 0:42.50. The best [[OWOOT]] record goes to Victor too, at 1:09.25 using the [[Porsche March Indy]]. The evolution of these records can be easily tracked, since posting dates are shown in the scoreboard.

	In [[http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=18.0 Stunts forum]], a replay by [[Bonzai Joe]] on 10 November 2015, achieves 1:01.35 with the [[Porsche March Indy]], verified. Reported as [[NoRH]] and on verification, found to be "almost OWOOT", only going off-road very briefly at a chicane, this is a very significant contemporary record. On 19 April 2019, [[Seeker1982]] posted two replays. On the first one, he achieves 1:02.30 with a Free OWOOT replay (never goes off-road, but does skip a corkscrew), also with the Porsche March Indy. Ten days later, he posts a very similar one, only this is Free-Style (as it does go off-road briefly at the chicane) and is done with the [[McLaren Honda MP4/4]]. With this replay, he completes the lap in exactly one minute. On 14 January 2015, [[Akoss Poo]] registerred a 1:02.10 Free-Style replay with the March Indy. On the 9th of the same month, [[Shoegazing Leo]] had registerred his own 1:11.80 with a Free-OWOOT replay with the same car. All of the records metioned above refrain from using dual-way switching.
