    i started practising today, and will work my way up tracks, i am comfortable in my new ship now, so i expect to see some laptimes coming in soon enough. My migraine today, however, didn't help me clock in a good number of laps .

    Also, I am forced to learn to use the dpad now because I just can't get BR's up consistently enough with the nub, though I am better at controlling the ship through corners with it.

    Maybe I might employ a hybrid control setup haha, jsut move my hands all over the controller to get a lap down.

    Wow Flashback Jack congratulations on your progress. You are really coming close and you are standing on the threshold to beat me. Next time you ask for advanced tips I have to think twice!!!

    I was comparing "notes" with Arnaud when he was with us in Canada the other day, and quite interestingly enough, we run the track in exactly the same way. That's to say we don't boost at the end of the lap, but rather after the first tunnel following the boost pad.

    Other than that, I think the track is one's best teacher. Run it consistently enough and it'll reveal everything you need to know to set blistering laptimes on it.

    Anyhow, it's getting mad difficult trying to better my 18.29 but I'll keep at it.

    Know what's interesting though? The difference between 18.27 and your 18.44 is about the span of half a blink -- figuratively but perhaps literally. That's still nothing to sneeze at and we all know you're capable of equalling or bettering our times. From experience though, I'll say now that it'll be extremely difficult to do. Mad ran an absoutely BULLETPROOF lap with nearly zero mistakes. I unfortunately grazed a wall.

    For kicks, I went back to Vineta K and I'm having a crazy-ass time trying to get within a whole SECOND of your time. Sometime I'll come back and put some intense effort into it.

    Still working on Extrostra.

    A minimum of 3000 laps, more than likely exceeding that.

    You are a true dedicated Wipeout pilot!! Respect to what you are doing! If there are no people like you, who else is going to kick Arnaud's arse? Except Al and maybe me on Pure.

    PS: and he definately needs one!!!

    Just determined. I'm able to concentrate for LONG stretches of time, and I have unlimited patience.

    Figure I'll head up to Sobenco Climb when or if I edge out Ice's Exostra Record.

    Unlimited patience.

    I play racing games strictly for the science of hotlapping. It's always been that way for me. Truth be told, I think the weapons in Wipeout get in the way and I'm not a fan of them, and as a result, tournaments and single races are not my prefered modes in Pure. I aim for the fastest lap, period.

    Yes you can race without the weapons in multiplayer, how tragic, there is nothing more boring than time trial, plenty of other racing games out there without weapons you know

    Yes we can race without weapons but as RR stated, yes it is pretty boring. But we do prefer fighting to each other to make it more exciting.

    Agreed 100%. Besides, you can have a fast & fighty race in whom you combinate speed adrenalin and tachycardia when surviving to chaos.

    If they weren't weapons, WipEout won't be the same.

    In my eyes when it comes to racing games, there is no art deeper and more subtle than that of hotlapping. Tragic? Negatory. My jaw drops at the sight of a complete and total wringing out of a machine's capability on any given track; the thought of a perfect lap tickles all my errogenous zones. While someone might be extraordinarily skilled in weapons-based multiplayer, I personally reserve highest praise for those that push games like this to the breaking point, speed wise.

    And thus concludes my sermon.
