    Too true. Although if you're not used to Sebenco or Chengou so much you will crash everywhere and the AI will still distance you. :S

    Actually I forgot to mention this, I found winning easier without the weapons on tbh.

    1.53?! are you having a laugh?! predicta: nothing but turbos and AP's. i joke, wellington's fast enough to do it without. is it easier to get fast times on novice or elite do you reckon? maybe it's psychosomatic but i always get faster times with elite. or do you get turbos more freqently or something like that?

    big congratulations frenkyv! just keep results as consistent as possible and you'll be fine cos the same AI ship seldom wins all the races.

    That time isn't for single race it's for Multiplayer race. I got it because I got lucky enough to pick up a boost right at the beginning of the race, allowing me to do the shortcut on the first lap and get ahead of the pack. Then I picked up four more boosts, one for the shortcut on each remaining lap. I also had the good fortune to have no quakes fired at me and to avoid any bombs left on the track. It was a 1 in 1000 sequence of good luck, and fortunately I didn't make too many mistakes. I remember it was in acrooklyn's room, but I forget who else was there.

    Edit: You might be talking about the Rapier TT, in which case I'm that far ahead because no-one bothers competing there. AHH-QUADZILLA was way out in front and just on a whim I decided to try and beat him. His scores have now been removed though, so that's why it's just me.

    Elite. They force you to go fast because they are very fast themselves. Novice you're sleeping on the gas pedal I guess... That's how it works for me anyways, my best races are with the elite AI.

    I'm glad I found this! Hehe...
    I started to play Wipeout HD directly in Elite, I still need to beat the last two grids. Really useful hints what I found here!

    Playing in Elite can be frustrating sometimes ... AI makes it really hard, and you can't make mistakes.

    Keep in mind it's also not only up to you. When you get hit too many times, it's best to just restart because there's no way you'll come in 1st except if you're really lucky for the next remaining lap(s).

    Elite is easier to spot good times rather than novice : i tested months ago and in novice you can lap easily the last ships on lap 5 and they can slow you down with quake/missile and else : in elite you can't lap them so if you are lucky and skillz you can be 1st at lap2 in elite and have 4 laps completely clean racing and do better times

    Must admit those two tracks were only ones i had trouble with on elite phantom, was rather challenging

    I always thought elite mode was 50% skill 50% luck you always need some luck

    just thought i'd mention it: i find it's much easier to get faster times on anulpha novice because on skilled and elite they really get in your way on the overpass, whereas novice you can take the lead before then.

    I have been stuck on Chengou for a day or two now, 5 times have been leading going onto the last lap and each time taken down with weapons.

    Also the number of mines and bombs is ridiculous!

    I'm sure I might have said this before, but I'll say it again. If you're having trouble with the Elite AI on weapons races you can always turn weapons off, Jambo. The races still count and the Elite AI turn out to be quite easy without their weapons. If you still can't do it again after that then you'll just need some good old-fashioned practice .

    Is it possible to turn off weapons in elite in the campaign mode?!

    At the moment I usually get up to about 3rd or so on the second lap before being nailed!

    Just led for two laps that time, the barrel rolled by mistake and got hit by a missile and blew up!

    Have been at this for two days LOL
