Nice racing bro

I see the current record on the wipeout-game site is 1:43:30 by Kandang. I will challenge this later today once the alchohol has worn off from last night lol

[Neverdown]

Geez, I suck! First try, didn't even beat my own record:

1 --> 0.39.47 (6)
2 --> 0.37.05 (7)
3 --> 0.36.46 (6) (PL)

Total 1.52.98 (19)

[G'Kyl]

Count me in as well. Just one question: Does any fast TT lap count as fastest lap in this challenge or does it have to be one from the submitted TT record race?

[RingoSpoon]

I think taking the fastest lap from the TT race record would be most interesting what do you think? Its harder to pull off a really fast lap in TT mode rather than speed lap.

[G'Kyl]

Well, you can still do the speed lap thing, using a turbo right before going into a fast lap and all. BUT: You'd most probably have to do that in seperate race, since on most tracks your race time suffers from that technique. So if you just do a fast lap during TT and submit that record to this challenge and after that do another TT to submit your race record you might have an advantage over people who enter the fastest lap from their fastest race time. Hmmm... does that clarify what I meant? And yes, I DO think taking only the fastest lap from your TT record is most interesting in this challenge.

Ben

[RingoSpoon]

Sweet bro - fastest lap from the TT race it is then

[G'Kyl]

My, my, my... Here's a first pitiful attempt at the "barrel roll mania stunt challenge". I'm pretty sure there's about ten more seconds on the track for those who can safely hit all those ramps that should have been upright walls. Let's see when 1.35 and lower gets beaten. Shouldn't take too long...

UPDATEd times

1.37.94

32.92 ( PL
32.64 (5)
32.38 ( PL

So discouraging if your following laps are as "fast" as your first one. Best lap time is 31.33. Too bad Pulse doesn't save your fastest TT single lap time, even if it's below your speed lap record.

[phl0w]

The possible amount of BRs in one lap is just sick. Stupid ramps...

1st: 35"91 (7)
2nd: 32"26 (7)
3rd: 33"90 (7)

Total: 1'42"07 Piranha

[DjManiac21]

Hey guys, here's my best session up until now, after some coffe of course

1st: 35"03 (9 ) PL
2nd: 32"26 (9)
3rd: 32"39 (9)

Total: 1'39"68 Piranha 27

[Mad-Ice]

Very nice Ringospoon to do a new sweet weekly TT!

I hope a lot of Wipers will join us in this challenge to learn more about the tracks in Pulse. So that Wipers from the zone will dominate the recordtables on Wipeout-game.com.

For the challenge I would like to see fastest possible race but also fastest possible lap. Fastest lap being made in the race or in speed lap.

My first entry for this challenge:

34.55 ( 8 )
33.02 ( 8 )
32.92 ( 8 )PL
1.40.49 (24) Piranha


Fastest lap of 32.38 is made in a other TT race.

My race time is made with two BRs a lap. After the long open curve to the left, hit the two speed pads on the left side then hitting the turbo to be able to do a BR on the small hit. This will give you enough speed to do another BR before going into the long right curve.

I know there are 4 BRs possible in 1 lap. 2 BRs on the left side of the long open curve to the left and the other 2 describe in my TT race. But I did not succeed in a better race time then this one. Okay good luck everybody.

EDIT:

32.97 ( 9 )PL
32.11 ( 8 )
31.62 (10)PL
1.36.70 (27)

fastest lap in race TT 31.06
speedlap 30.43 ( 9 )PL

[DjManiac21]

Just a small update:

1st: 32"54 ( 9 )PL
2nd: 31"15 ( 8 )PL
3rd: 32"32 ( 8 )PL

Total: 1'36"01 Piranha 25

My best lap time is:

30"34.

I couldn't get extra BRs, only one before the long right turn, but I was able to hit the speed pads, boost, br and turn a perfect right turn into the last 90 left turn.

Did you BR twice then Mad??? I couldn't...

[Stardragon88]

Phew, I must say this track is rather more technical compared to Moa Therma White

*Update - Alright, here are some new times after my second round of TTs.

Lap 1: 0.32.83 ( 7 )
Lap 2: 0.31.57 ( 5 ) PL
Lap 3: 0.31.99 ( 9 )

Total: 1.36.39 - Piranha

**Bit of further update. Got my best lap time down to 31.23 on a seperate TT.

I'm quite satisfied for now, though I'm kinda miffed that I missed one BR on lap 3 and I have no idea how I only hit 5 speed pads on lap 2.

Off for some breakfast, good luck everyone!

[Silent]

Pfiou !

After half an hour, here are my times, doing the same schema than DJ and Stardragon88^^ :

1 - 0.33.47 (9)
2 - 0.32.79 (7)
3 - 0.32.35 (8, PL)

Total : 1.38.61.

Not bad, but as you can see i missed 3 BP's at all... 1.38 is the next target.

[Mad-Ice]

Hi all,

I think it will be good if we edit our new times in the first post we made with race times. This will make it much easier to come up with the end result for Ringospoon.

At DjManiac: yes I did 2 BRs coming up the hill. But my new times in my first post I did it just like Stardragon88 and I describe before.

[Hyper Shadow]

Here's my initial attempt, my marker so to speak:

1 - 0:37.21 (7)
2 - 0:36.16 (6) PL
3 - 0:35.51 (8 )

Total - 1:48.88

nothing to brilliant, but I know there's plenty of scope for improvment

Here's My second:

1 - 0:36.32 (9)
2 - 0:35.26 (9) PL
3 - 0:35.34 (9) PL

Total - 1:46.92

[borell]

Hi everyone! Here we go again, the TT challenges are back.


EG-X : 1.41.04 BL 0.33.14

0.34.43 - (9)
0.33.14 - (9)
0.33.47 - (8 ) PL

(I have not had time to make a fast lap in Speed Lap after the late change of rules)

[Frances_Penfold]

Count me in as well! I missed out most of the TT challenges for Pure so definitely want to participate this time around with Pulse.

I need to put some practice in before reporting back with times-- I think my best lap time is about 33 seconds at the moment, definitely room for some improvement.

So did SL deliberately include all of these short walls, as a launch point for barrel rolls? It sure seems that way.

Sweet bro - fastest lap from the TT race it is then

Sounds good-- and makes sense.

Is there any possibility that a speed lap challenge thread will be created? Like many others here, I really dig the speed lap thing-- but can the community handle multiple ongoing challenges (TT as well as speed lap)? We don't want them to cannabilize each other.

[RingoSpoon]

For the challenge I would like to see fastest possible race but also fastest possible lap. Fastest lap being made in the race or in speed lap.

I agree - everyone will be playing speed lap initially anyway to set a ghost to use a marker in TT.

No need for another thread - both fastest TT and Speed Lap records will be taken into account.
