Career
Renato Biker discovered online Stunts via friends and joined ZakStunts in 2005, and getting in touch with Alain, enlisted to Orion team. He quickly made an impression with a podium on debut at ZCT58 (2005). He challenged for victory immediately afterwards at ZCT59 (runner-up to Ayrton), then took his first win on ZCT63 after four podiums in his first six races. See article.
Invited by Alain to join Orion, Renato benefited from team play and track analysis. A decisive case came on ZCT68 (2006), where a late shortcut found by Alain helped Renato take P1 ahead of Alain (P2) and Ayrton (P3), a result that proved pivotal to the 2006 title. He later added a second championship in 2013, cementing his reputation as a long-term contender. See article.
One of the earliest South American drivers to dominate the scoreboard. His name features on the podium of several tracks of his first season, and he will later be renowned for being one of the few racers winning a race with every cars of the original game from slow cars the likes of LM 002, the Porsche Carrera, to middle speed PG cars like Acura NSX and to the fastest Porsche March Indy car. Community archives note him as part of the growing internationalisation of ZakStunts, alongside fellow Latin American racers like Alan Rotoi, Gutix, and Ayrton.
