    Default The "Bullet Brick" Contest

    ===
    Ladies and gentlemen. The time has come to challenge with the craft you know as Qirex.
    Also known as The "Bullet Brick" the craft's handling is poor and Its acceleration is even worse. But driven well it turns into a bullet. And that's exactly what is expected from the competitors of this contest. To turn the heavyweight russian ship into a speed demon. The race will take place at Hi-Fumi. An old industrial part of Mega City adapted to Anti Gravity racing needs. The circuit is difficult, loaded with tons of crafty turns which make flying even more challenging. Can you handle it? ====

    Rules:
    Game type: W3O (NTSC & PAL)
    Race type : Time Trial
    Racing Class : Rapier
    Craft Model : Qirex Quantax Design Model 4
    Race Track : Hi-Fumi

    Winners will be announced in two categories :
    - the fastest Race Time
    - the fastest Lap Time



    BY THE TIME YOU READ THESE WORDS, THE CONTEST HAS ALREADY STARTED!

    THE CONTEST ENDS AT 20:00 CET 06.7.2K4 (TUESDAY)

    I wish everone luck, and plenty of speedpads on their way to the podium!

    Okay, I fixed it:
    W3O( NTSC & PAL), so everyone can participate.
    I hope that takes care of the problem. (Damn can't I do anything right?....)

    OK, so I dusted off my WO3 copy and unlocked Hi-Fumi as well as the Qirex again (lost my old savegames), which is when I noticed someting... Is it possible that the W3O announcer says "GO" only AFTER the race has already been started? I found that slightly distracting at first. ;) Anyway, I will add times by updating this post as soon as I will have done some seriuos driving. This morning I had to leave as soon as I finally unlocked track and craft. :)

    Fun challenge sounds good to me

    As a tradition i always write my first run : so here it is.... 2.16.72 with 32.36 for best lap
    Few moments after... 1.59.96 : 33.0 / 27.56 / 29.08 / 30.32
    1.51.52 : 28.96 / 27.56 / 26.92 / 28.08

    1.48.80 : 27.76 / 26.44 / 26.56 / 28.04
    1.48.08 : 27.68 / 26.52 / 27.20 / 26.68
    1.46.84 : 27.28 / 26.32 / 26.60 / 26.64
    When music turned from great to poor , here's the result... 26.60 / 25.64 / 29.52 !! / 28.32 !! : 1.50.08
    1.46.76 : 26.76 / 26.28 / 26.68 / 27.04... slowly but surely

    It freakin' is difficult!! When I started to play W3O this morning, my first attept at the contest ended up blowing up this russian fat-ass craft on the third lap!! I mean....WTF??
    Yeah, but after a few more attempts I started to get into it, and after another few I even started to like Hi-Fumi

    Asayyeah:

    Well, after some fifteen minutes in which I totally failed to impress myself, here's the times updates reply:

    Saturday

    race: 2:21.20
    lap: 0:32.08

    Sunday

    race: 2:10.04
    lap: 0:30.76


    This is a beast of a track! Anyway, get back to you. Need to practise. :)

    EDIT: I'm really starting to like this track. It's got something of a unique feel about it few other Wipeout tracks can offer, basically due to its narrowness. However, forcing a an Icaras or a Qirex to fly there is a torture, no matter how much I love the craft. ;-)

    I'm pretty sure we can beat Al's time with Qirex :wink: Wouldn't that be great? (up until Al would find out about it. After that, we'd be busted)

    Luckily, 5 races later:

    Due to that challenge i can't stand Qirex : cause when i am closing my eyes it's the same scene who takes place : i hit violently the wall inside the last tunnel of lap4 and loose all the opportunity to beat Al's time :cry:
    Seriously it was a great challenge you suggested Shem, i was having lot of fun ( just a little deception not to have been going under 1.45.0 )
    Many thanks to those who have compete into that one.

    Expecting a new one with probably handicap inside for those who wants : like taking a slower ship than the others players or add 5 , 10, 15 sec to a race time ( number depends on what track) or see the place of players into the tables and adjusting the handicap by their previous results...

    That music video owns. It's the Showgirls of music.

    Heh, I listen to it for a good laugh just about every morning since I first heard of it about a week ago.

    Hey baby, wake up from your asleep
    We have arrived onto the future
    And the whole world is become...

    elektronik supersonik
    supersonik elektronik

    Hey baby, ride with me away
    We doesn't have much time
    My blue jeans is tight
    So onto my love rocket climb
    Inside tank of fuel is not fuel, but love
    Above us there is nothing above
    But the stars, above

    All systems gone
    Prepare for down-count
    5... 4... 3... 1... OFF BLAST!

    Fly away in my space rocket
    You no need put money in my pocket
    The door is closed, I just lock it
    I put my birth-plug (butt-plug/light bulb?) in your socket

    The sonic sky is bright like fire
    You and me gets higher and higher
    (unintelligable) communications firer(?)
    Only thing can stop us is flat tire

    Hey love crusader
    I want to be your space invader
    For you I will descend the deepest moon crater
    I's more stronger than Darth Vapor
    Obey me, I's your new dictator
    For you is Venus, I am Mars
    With you, I's more richer than all the czar's
    Make a wishes on a shooting stars
    Then for you I will play on my cosmic guitars!

    Ladies and Gentlemen, fasten your beltseats
    We have commenced our descent
    I trust you enjoyed this flight as much as you enjoy this accent

    Now back on Earth is time for down-splash
    Into sea of eternal glory my spaceship crash
    People have arrived for to cheer me from near and far
    And as I float, I open door and shout
    "I am world's biggest washed up superstar!"

    As for sure as the sun rises in the west
    Of all the things and poets on Earth, I am the bestest
    Come, let me put ring of Jupiter on your finger
    Then like a smell around you, I will forever linger
    OK, it's time for end
    No more will I sing
    Let me take you back in time
    I want for you to experience Big Bang!

    Long live Space Race. Long live Movania.
