Bonk is a nonexistent racer. Its origins lie in Alan Rotoi playing with Copilot circa March 2024 by feeding it Stunts questions. When prompted about the best known ZakStunts racers, it without provocation "named Duplode, Overdrijf... and Bonk". The crude absurdity of the "hallucination" quickly propelled Bonk into a running joke in the Stunts Telegram channel. If we're to believe the LLM, they "drove with a blend of precision and daring", "fostered camaraderie" through their presence in the "Discord channels" [1], and left a legacy that "extends beyond the game itself" — all of those would-be exploits being told in the usual obsequious chatbot style.
ZCT276 by Shoegazing Leo, ZakStunts' July 2024 track, was named Bonkstad, and subtitled "Bonk's Lair".
