Original Stunts Grand Prix logo by Lukas Loehrer

Stunts Grand Prix, also referred to as Stunts GP, was an early Stunts contest managed by Lukas Loehrer, aka Luke, from August 1997 to May 1998.

All DOS game versions could be used, with BB 1.0 racers being allowed to drive the Contest Car 0.85 instead of the Porsche March Indy, as a way to compensate for the performance disadvantages of that version. The improved Contest Car 0.9 was not used in this competition as it was released after the last track of Stunts GP was finished, in August 1998.

There were important rule changes during the sole season of the competition. At first, rules were no shortcuts and NoRH, but from the second track onward continuing replays was tolerated; and for the last two tracks shortcuts were allowed.

Season Podium

Luke appears to never have declared a champion officially, perhaps because the contest was interrupted either one or two races before planned. Below is the season podium as it stood after the tenth and final race, held in May 1998.
