Q Bot - "expressive" driving competition  
Hi all,

I've been thinking what a shame it is that one of the best Valley tracks ever built by a community effort is just sitting there begging to be driven and experienced.
"Q Bot by   MX-Community

I know, i know it can be argued that this is true of hundreds of tracks on MX, but allow me naively believe this one is just a tiny bit more special than a lot of them ! =)



I know that the Valley community is the smallest in TM right now, but I also know its one of the most creative out there (hats out to the people playing Chase mode online every day, for example).

So I was thinking of a way to motivate people to play this great endurance map in a way other than the pointless "Submit your best time for 2000000 million meaningless planets".

The track can be a bit hard for beginner to intermediate drivers to get a clean run, so I'm proposing a different type of contest than just driving your fastest time.

The Idea:
The idea is for everyone to submit replays, not of their best times, but of the most expressive/creative driving they can pull off.

This can be open to interpretation, it could be things like:

  • Driving with the most close shaves on barriers, obstacles, jumps etc
  • Doing Stunts while still finishing the track, and integrating the stunts into the race path.
  • anything else you can think of!


Example of this kind of run, that I did on a track by Ropesbart a couple of years ago.

Rules
There are no rules! Just have fun.
You can drive any route you want
You don't have to finish the track
You don't have to go through all the CPs
You can drive with any car you want, Stadium, Canyon, Valley car all good

The prize:
The prize will be to be featured in the Video that gets made with the replay highlights =)
