    Zico is one of the staff at SL.

    Trying to find the answer on the internet but no joy so far.

    Default Beat Zico

    My best is 31.29 so far (tried it for 99 laps ) - how?
    - don't miss a speed Pad (obviously)
    - use the boost when jumping up to the narrow straight, and do a BR (tricky landing)
    - jump off the narrow strip after the last speed pad. jump to the left, do a BR and catch the speed pad on the lower strip.

    I am 99% sure that's how 'Zico' did it - my 31.29 was done that way, but it wasn't absolutely perfect, some turns could have been cut tighter, so shaving about 3/4 of a second off that line is definitely possible.

    I'm down to 32.18 now with that speed boost up to ramp tip, missed 2 of the pads aswell. Cheers.

    EDIT: My friend Mark thinks he's worked it out. Will get back when he does beat it.

    Default Beat Zico

    I think I did around the same time as eLhabib, but it's still isn't close. I didn't use the same strategy though. What I did: keep one turbo and fire it off before the finish line, hit all the speed pads, when coming up the hill before the narrow section, turbo again and do the BR there (Watch out, fall off and you respawn), then hit all the pads, go up the narrow section and when coming back down do another BR.

    Default Beat Zico

    You can BR after the first turn on the dip by nosing down and then nosing up if you time it right. Do that on an angle and hit the 3 speed pads, wow! I've only been able to do it once so far though.

    I think I would have had it that time if I didn't miss the BR dropping off the narrow.

    You can earn double kill in a race against the AI, did that one by accident with one Quake last night.

    Default Zone trophies

    Here's some tips on approaching the Zone trophies.

    -)do your attempts on Anulpha Pass (forward) - clearly the easiest track at insane speeds
    -)turn off the music! seroiusly, it makes racing at zones 40+ a lot easier! (i know that's not the way it was intended, but hey, TROPHIES! )
    -)maybe the most valuable tip: concentrate solely on the lines on the track. on the higher speeds (supersonic, mach, etc.) the track is mostly dark and the walls are hard to make out. however, every track has glowing lines on the floor. just fix your eyes on those and you should be cruising!

    I've made it up to 60 so far, but 75 now definitely feels do-able, although I'm not quite there yet. Also just got the Own the Zone - Bronze Trophy.

    EDIT: @above post: really?! I tried a couple of times to do a BR there, but no luck so far. Didn't think of nosing down first, though! Okay now, with that additional boost, Zico's time seems quite beatable. Thanks for the tip!

    I said it was pretty tough, I've only pulled it off once, but I am confident that it is a key to getting this trophy. Also, if you use the boost on the turn leading to the hop onto the narrow straight, you save a ton of time because of all the speed you lose making the turn.

    @Elhabib--Good call on the music, I never thought about that, but I bet it would help my concentration, it gets way distraction on the high speeds. Subsonic made my eyes go all googly.

    The Beat Zico trophy is one of the hardest if not the hardest, you need the right tactic and then execute it as perfectly as you can

    And no

    I'm not going to say who how where

    But the Zico time is beatable by half a second.... (least thats what we've seen so far)

    No way, what fun is it if you don't work it out? We know it's doable, so let's just go do it. The journey is the fun part, reaching the destination is just icing.

    Ok, that's enough waxing philosohpic from me.

    Anyone have tips for beating the Elite AI? I was doing fine, but seem to be stuck now on the harder tracks. Should I maybe drop down to skilled and practice some more, or are there any good tricks that seem to work well.

    For zone mode, I find it easier to race a perfect line when I'm concentrating on the the farther track sections. This really makes a difference for me.
    Propably because you're focussed on what's next and you now can prepare for it.

    Maybe that's what everyone's doing anyway, but I found myself not doing it everytime (so that I had to remind myself several times in a race to do it).

    I take it that 'no' from Colin is the answer to me being 99% sure that Zico used the line I described. Hm, interesting... must find new turbo point...

    Without testing here are three more ideas I just had:
    1. Do not use the turbo for an entire lap, then, just before you cross the finish line, use the turbo so you can take the speed for the next lap.
    2. There are three speed pads in an ^-position once (on the huge turn, before the track splits), you can take two of them with a nice shift.
    3. Try making a BR when you make the jump to the narrow track section by flying as much to the right side as possible to gain enough height.

    Can you do the BR without a turbo? This needs some experimentation me'thinks.

    Maybe this should be renamed the Beat Zico thread as that is all we're talking about.
