    Hi All

    A little resume of track/BR/turbo in every class it's a must.....

    I Start with

    Vineta K all classes: 3 brs a lap and turbo in the exit of the last tunnel.
    Moa Therma normal and reverse all classes: 1 br in the same point in the last/first bend after/before the ondulated straight, turbo in 'normal' way, on the ondulated mag lock, in reverse after the tunnel on the mag lock.
    Ubermall normal: it vary a lot with classes, but at least 2br a lap and turbo on the little hill.
    Sebenco normal:it vary a lot with classes, i test 6 br a lap in flash and rapier, turbo after the hill before the tunnel, or in the tunnel to direction of exit with nose down.

    I think there are a lot of variations inside the numbers that i write, but I think, with my very low pilot skills, they are possible for everyone.

    Sometimes, just to get that feeling, you can forget the racetime and just not do the barrel roll. Just feel the beauty of the flight.

    There's a barrel roll just after the start/finish line on Ubermall Reverse. Pitch up for it when you head into the downhill camber leading to the tunnel.

    The key is to stay as low as possible during flight. This worked for Pulse's Metropia Black and it works very well in HD. Staying low will make the hard right more manageable, even if you have to brake hard for it.

    As an almost complete noob on the wipeout series I was initially havin the same problem as you. But after some long nights with chestpain, sour eyes and repeated kicks to the living-room table, I finally completed the game with shiny gold in every grid. And this without more than one BR per map. But it aint easy, i'll give you that. Don't know if someone has more specific information on wich stages that actually can be completed without BR and still getting the gold.

    Moa Therma comes to mind as the one you don't have to do any BRs on to beat. Anulpha Pass too, although I still recommend it if you're on Elite.

    The trick I've utillized thus far to get golds in Speed Lap is to save my turbo for a full lap and hit it at the last possible moment, effectively getting two turbos for one extra-fast lap.

    I had a quick session yesterday to improve my Venom speed lap time on Metropia, and instead of dropping the turbo where Arnaud suggested I'm dropping it on the corner that leads in to the last straight (that ends in the hairpin).

    If done correctly, you can get enough air for a BR, and land it on the double speed pad.
