We have just released 2 new Lostallo infield tracks, #4 and #5. These tracks are based on the existing short-cuts on the famous Swiss Lostallo track. Including the big oval course, Lostallo now features a total of 5 variations! These 2 new tracks will be released on Steam shortly!

Lostallo 5 has 2 extra corners, #8 and #14, added to make this lay-out more challenging!

Lostallo 5 is planned for the upcoming 2026 SEASON 1 - 1:10 ELECTRIC ISTC ROUND 4 events scheduled for March 28 (Spec) and April 4 (modified).

To avoid any turn-marshal and corner cutting flaws, pls. test these tracks extensively. If any issues arise, pls. post them in the comments below, indicating the corner number and if it is a false turn-marshall issue or a possible corner cutting cheat.

Thanks for your collaboration!

I was recently notified about deliberate corner cutting issues at Heemstede and Fiorano. Pls. understand that it is impossible for me to check every possible corner cutting cheat before release. Even in beta testing such corner cutting instances are not reported. Let me explain the process to fix a corner cutting or a false turn marshal issue.

To fix such issues I need to edit the 'segment' map which is very low resoltion, 400x300 pix or so. As the name indicates, this map is used to devide the track in sections using 8-bit colors. The car must pass these sections in a fixed sequence. This sequence is defined by the order of the 8 bit colors. If a car skips one of the segments (colors) it results in a turn marshal warning. By the way, besides corner cutting issues there can also be 'false' turn marshal warnings which require the same procedure to fix.

The problem is that as this is an 8-bit map (images) I can't overlay the real track over this segment map. I first have to analyze where this corner cutti... read more

This is the 'Inside Story' about Virtual RC Racing, told by myself, Pieter Bervoets. This story was earlier published in 2024 as plain text with some images, on the VRC Pro portal and on both my personal and the VRC-Pro FaceBook pages.

I always wanted to publish the 'Inside story' as a series of videos. This would allow me to document this story with interesting videos and photos to make it much more interesting to watch and to understand where we came from, the hurdles we had to take and what we, our team of 10, have been able to develop and achieve with hardly any experience, except for my over 26 years of experience as founder and manufacturer of Serpent Model Racing Cars.

I have long thought about this and what format would be most suitable to tell this story. And this is the result. I was able to create lip-sync videos of me telling the story utilizing modern AI features. It took quite some experimenting to achieve realistic looking videos. I have published a total 23 'episodes' which I all plan... read more
