A new kind of competition ?!  
"Kill the tires", "Rubberduck" or "Black stripes"

could be a name for it.
Well, I was hunting an awesome map from aircoco where you have to do a
drift from the start. I've hitted the brake for some reason and drove
the whole map with it. :$ :d

So let me ask you - is or was there any competiton before where you have to do
this ?! I'm too lazy for a search so maybe you guys know something about it.

Really - I had loads of fun while driving the map and it would be cool if we
will have a discussion about it. Let me suggest - try it yourself^^ :d (l)

Hehe, that's nice too. Thanks for the link but there they do the straights
without brakes. :d That nice black stripes should be from the start to the
finish. (l)

Would be fun to do something you normally only do just for fun :p The biggest concern is that people can release the brakes at any time, so that needs to be locked in some way.

You're right. It can't be done the normal way. Either you got judges or a mod.
At first, it would be nice to know if more players
would hunt a map with brakes. As I said, I had loads of fun.

Maybe we could start some competition with
judges. A little pool with a few maps which don't have any
jumps and a few people which will do the ranking, depending
on the sent replays.
Just an idea ...

do I smell a new project like that one old "Driving in the name of.."

X_Slow it would be nice to donate planets for a possible prizepool if you are hosting such a competition

an online 1on1 drift competition with spectator as judges would be super cool and fun :d

Thanks for replying :d

Two nice ideas. I like that very much, especially to win something like planets.
Online 1on1 fights with spectators as judges sounds pretty cool too but I think
and because it's a kinda slow race, the cars are very close together and it could
be hard to judge if the lights are close together and one of the players released
his brakes for a few milliseconds. Watching a single replay is much easier.

But - it's rly cool to talk about that. (l)
To give offline players, like me, every chance to win - it's maybe better to have a ranking
like here at the MX page. The only problem was although namend by voyager. How to judge
a replay and there were no brakes released. Well, I think - as long those blackstripes
are visible - it's a valid run ?! So we should'nt have maps with gaps. I think drops are
possible as long the stripes are beginning right after the landing.

This nice MTC in mind - and instead of maps - people could upload or send the replays
to named judges. I would take this "job" but the replays should be hosted anywhere, to make
them view and downloadable for all the interested players.

And there we have a nice solution for the prices to win. Uploaded replays could cost - idk -
10-50 planets and finally the winner or the first 3 places will get them all. Donations are
surely welcome. :d

Okay, there is an idea and I think it's definately makeable with a few people and enough
knowledge about hosting things.

Let's discuss a bit more about it. In summary - I think it's pretty easy to handle.
A challenge imho - should not run too long. One week or two maybe and per map.
And we need a discussion or a voting about the maps for the challenge.

A least - I don't want a megacomplicated set of rules.
Simply "Drive and win"

Slow (master of "slow"ness) LMAO =p

@lolig - what is this "Driving in the name of.." competition you're talking about ?
I stick at this community only since close to 1 year and I never played any kind of
competions before. Please, would you tell me a little bit more about it. :d

Well the "driving in the name of.." competition was something from back on tmx, an old project started by a guy.
it was only a small community "challenge" without any "real" (big) rewards.
the point of the project was to build a map, and if you looked from eagle view you must see that the driving road you had build was your real- or ingame name.
creating many maps on wich you drifted almost all the way.

The point of me saying this reminds me of that project is just the fact, that it also started as a normal guy his idea :)
So I really support you and your idea here!
