Grand Steeplechase of Pardubice 2010

Post by Trigger Happy »

Grand Steeplechase of Pardubice 2010
Grand Steeplechase of Pardubice is one of most traditional and hardest races in continental Europe, held every second Sunday of October from 1874. It's held in city Pardubice (Czech Republic) on course long 6 900 meters, which is filled by 31 complex obstacles created by various combinations of bushes, walls, fences and dry or water ditches and mixing various surfaces (grass, sand, deep mud), which is extremely demanding on stamina and strength of both horses and their riders with peak obstacle no 4 - Grand Taxis Ditch. Very often less than half of original pack of horses finishes the race (sometimes even fatal injuries of rider or horse occur :( ).

GeneRally recreation of the track reflexes its difficult character like the original, but in our case we'll have somehow easier life than the real competitors. Not only that our crashes will not hurt us, but every driver will have 3 attempts to make his race (3x enter the login), so if you'll not be satisfied with your ride or will not finish because of a crash or miss a checkpoint or an obstacle during 1st or even 2nd login, you can try it once more. Only the fastest ride of each rider will be counted into final results. But who will be the fastest of this challenging event? You? :scratch:

Basics of rules:
Event is held under a login system. Login time is 6 minutes for each attempt.

Every rider has 3 attempts to login, make a ride and send his results, but only his best time of all is counted into final results, winner is rider with fastest best time.

Mandatory files are screenshot (.bmp), which was made in moment of showing standings screen after the ride by pressing key F12, and .gam file with replay of human driver's race. The files must be submitted to ivo.grmfed@gmail.com.

Tracks are hard to memorize, so this one will be a pain.

Yes, even if it's 1-lap-race, it's definitely not easy. :band: That's reason for having 3 attempts for everyone. :)

Ivo, Luke just contacted me and he says it's OK to go ahead with starting Lukeno94 Sports in this compo, so I'll drive for Lukeno94 Sports from now on.

Also, we're recruiting :)

Me? Yes. But I created the track. :shrug: :D Seriously, it's not so hard, if you continue by step after step (like to memorize first 5 jumps, then when you have it under control to add two more and so one until end. After a moment you'll notice, that it has some kind of flow, no matter, that it looks like Gordian Knot. Or you can use to add AIs and watch few their races. :) I think in 15 minutes everybody can learn it without mistake (otherwise I would never make this compo). :bg:
