Fastest Lap in a Feisar EVER - Giant Region Free Challenge!

1. Brother Laz - WO64 (emulated) - Klies Bridge - 00:18:20

There, much below is possible.
I cannot even get below 20 in single race mode. Other ships bump be too often and spoil turbos.

And even if you did run a contact-free lap you'll need at least 2 turbos - and the weapon draw hasn't been kind to me :/

[auri]

The others talk about occasionally having 3 turbos in one lap once in 2 hours. I need much luck to get a lap with one turbo per 5-lap-race

[Brother Laz]

A useful trick is to start off the race by standing still for 5 seconds and deliberately lingering in 15th place until you get a turbo. It shouldn't take more than a single lap, and about 1/3rd of the time I get one off the very first weapon pad. With this turbo on hand, complete your lap.

Make the second lap your record run. You now need only one turbo, and because you're in 12th place or something and already on the second lap, the game may decide to help this clumsy pilot along and hand out an extra turbo.

If you fail to break the record on the second lap, might as well restart because on subsequent laps the checkpoints will force you to move up the field, reducing your chance to get more turbos and making it more likely that you'll get shot. Once you reach ~4-6th place, the turbos will stop coming altogether.

[auri]

Oh that helps me. Haven't known about the weapon pad system.
I once got so very lucky. Right before the finish line in 2nd lap somebody used a turbo behind me and I got pushed very far! It was just as fast as an own turbo. Lovely.

Will try as you told, thank you

Lap time was only 18,3 sec. thou....

Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've been on the forums but he Name caught my eye so I've decided to join, but first I need some details.

Interestingly, Assayyeah is only 1.3 seconds from my Klies Bridge time, and Talon's Reach is slower than Klies Bridge due to the kink in the starting grid. I suspect the track is the real winner here, not the pilot.

[Asayyeah]

My God child Caroline took back the N64 + WipEout so unique chance for me to compete is my precious talon's reach.
Last thursday i had a long i-link session 2097 with Dag : he tested the black neggie for the 1st time and prefered get back to his own white ( same for me) we raced rapier & phantom on 5 tracks.
To make the challenge interesting we took different ships, me in feisar, he on auricom : he mostly kicked my arse on the easiest tracks but finally got some interesting scores especially on phantom laptime : got 3 turbos in a lap and did a 18.7 unfortunately i did this on lap4 where many ships where around. Possibly on lap2 where the 'road is free-ships' under 18.0 may be done...
i will practise a last time before the challenge ending, who never knows

[Medusa]

Great lap Asa!!

he tested the black neggie for the 1st time and prefered get back to his own white ( same for me) 

(He preferred the white, wow! All I have to do is hold my black neggie and I feel like a Wipeout god )

[element42]

Oh man, how is it that I haven't noticed this thread till now?
I know what I'm doing tonight. Feisar on TR in 2097 Phantom - shouldn't present too much difficulty

update: some difficulty! but - 20:3 on Talons Reach 2097. I really hate it when a ship more than one place ahead of you rear-fires a missile and it homes in on you and not the ship behind it. B*st*rds. Anyway, I might try to up that time later...

edit: Arnaud, do you really prefer white over black neggie?

[Asayyeah]

Yes definitely but i must reckon i got 10 years spending with various whites , i only got my black very very recently ( thx to Stevie Stinie )
The black is too small for my 25 fingers !

Seriously i don't like much the Dpad feeling when nose up or down which is very different from the whites. and definitely too small for my hands but what a lovely piece of Japanese art: i found in love with its sexi shape

[element42]

Well, using my lovingly restored black neggie, I've upped my time to 19.9 on Talons Reach 2097. Sub-20 was my primary aim so I'm going to top trying for now, until I get bored with Qirex in venom...

[q_dmc12]

2097 or XL? US version is faster??

[Medusa]

Asayyeah's version is faster (Double-tap, double-tap...)

[Lance]

Yeah, that doesn't work on mY version; it always makes me go slower.
