A fun way to play.

I am not the fastest pilot, and not a fan of barrels rolls at all. I do them but a lot of times they didn't even go off, anyway that is a topic of another discussion.

Yesterday I was playing tracks at Phantom and Rapier speeds, on Elite, but with no weapons, and would not let myself do any BR's at all. I was having so much fun, and then I realized my lap times were going down. Some cases my lap times went down by 4-6 seconds of my previous records. The thrill of racing, the idea of not looking for BR spots, but to challenge myself to find a better line on the track. To have the 7 other AG's on the track, and just trying to get the 1st position, old school racing style. It felt like a new game.

It was even more fun the TT and Speed Lap, since I wasn't given a turbo boost, any speed on the track, I had to find myself.

Some of the tracks the AI were doing WR lap times, but it was thrilling fighting with them just for racing lines. Some of the races I wished so bad WOHD had a replay feature, I had a really nice fight with Fraiser for racing lines. I know the top guys beat AI all the time, but doing it with no weapons or BR was so much fun. I didn't win every race, but it kept me going back to keep trying.

Although I do wish after a race was long over, a few times it said I had a new lap record. But there was no way to see what the record was compared to the old lap. And those lap records don't count against Speed Lap ones.
