World Stunts Championship
The World Stunts Championship (WSC for short) was an OWOOT, Argentina-based international competition started and managed by Paleke from 2004. It started to develop in La Cueva de los Clásicos forum and had its own website later on. As of the beginning of 2008 it was the sole active OWOOT contest; however it entered indefinite hiatus halfway through that year's season.
The only car allowed for all races in WSC was Porsche March Indy. Yet, it was permitted to use either Stunts 1.0 or Brøderbund 1.1. A number of rules were less than strict in the tournament. While at its time, it was simply described as OWOOT, it fits much better in the free OWOOT than in the strict OWOOT set of rules. For example, driving on top of a tunnel was OK. In version 1.0, the top of the tunnel is passable, so crashing against it was impossible, thus, it makes sense to allow this for version 1.1. Skipping a slalom was allowed as long as the car remained OWOOT at all times. Whether going directly through slaloms was accepted should be researched by watching the replays (to be done), but it probably was, considering that overflying any stunt was allowed, as can be seen in multiple replays. WSC was also relaxed as regards what was considered to be part of the track. The sides of slopes were accepted as track and possibly, the open corner borders too. While overflying was permitted, loops and corkscrews had to be correctly executed if approached on track.
At a point (probably about the second half of 2006), a track design contest was held. Each racer could post up to two tracks. Later, all racers would vote for their two favourite tracks that weren't their own and the (about four) tracks with the most votes would be used for racing the following months. The winning tracks included at least:
- 4:00am - by Cas
- Nach 1 - by Nach
- Acacia Avenue - by Gutix?

Rules
The tournament rules as established in the WSC website appear to define a form of strict OWOOT with a few exceptions. However, watching the replays accepted during the course of the championship, it becomes clear that it is better defined as free OWOOT. The website explicitly defines the following:
- The version of Stunts to be used is Broderbund 1.1 (in earlier seasons, 1.0 was allowed as well)
- The championship consists of 10 tracks, most made by [Paleke]. Anybody who so wishes may send their tracks to [him] providing name and car to be used and those that [he happens] to like will be used throughout the season
- Race duration will be approximately four weeks. The will usually begin on a Saturday or Sunday and will end on the last Friday before the fourth weekend [after they started]. The last day of the race will be announced once the race is started
- Unless something else is specified, the car to be used will be the Porsche March Indy that comes with the game
- Under no circumstance is it allowed to modify the car or tracks
- One wheel must be on the road at all times. Besides, the yellow lines are to be followed all the time. This means that it is not allowed to take any kind of shortcuts
- It is considered to be "road": the road itself (with all its obstacles), the corner rumble strips, the sloped road side bars, tunnel walls and the central boulevard space
- Tricks that go against any of the above (such as driving through objects) are not allowed
In replays, it can also be seen that it is allowed to overfly any stunt, but a racer must not skip it in any other way.
