Won all tracks. On Phantom. With all ships. Without airbrakes, hyperthrust or autopilot.
Hardest was Stanza Inter because it is so easy to hit every wall there, compared to tracks such as Hi-Fumii where you realistically only crash once or twice per lap at most even in Phantom class and Manor Top which is so easy to not crash on everywhere else than in the 90* part. And of course the little fact that you can't get into the pit lane without airbrakes unless you bash into the opposite wall to slow down.
Auricom - relatively hard. MM won the race for me. First win.
Feisar - always take the tunnel at the split. Shorter, and you can get through with ease with Feisar. Second win.
Goteki45 - running out of 3+ shield ships by now, won it with all of 00.xx shield strength remaining thanks to me boneheadedly taking the left hand road on the last lap after losing the last three races to three subsequent failures to get through the zigzag tunnel without crashing (didn't want to risk anything this time... hehe), and hitting the invisible barrier at the end in midair and banging right into the wall at a 90 degree angle at the bottom, losing about 20% shield energy right there.
Icaras - forget control, bang from wall to wall and you win if you don't blow up first. Quite hard, because the game seemed intent on giving me a lot of autopilots. Grrr.
Qirex & AG-S - same as Icaras, try to make the few corners you can make without brakes, and rely on straight line speed to win.
Assegai - hardest of all. No shields is trouble when pitting equals losing the race (if you can pit at all). It went pretty much like this: 'shield energy low' 'wa-wa-wa-warning' 'shield - engaged' *CLUNK* *BANG* *THUNK* (<-- me attempting to artistically swing through the angular U turns at the far end of the course) 'disengaging' 'energy drain' [bzzzzzzz] 'wa-wa-wa-warning' *BENG* *SLAM* *CRUNCH* 'shield energy low', repeat about 20 times. Must have gotten at least 15 energy drains in that race.
You know you're being a freak when you know that cloak is better than shield because they can't lock on you and send a missile your way while it's active and it hits you right after the protection stops.
Now for the prototypes. Raped the first two left and right, won the third one with these restrictions with Assegai & Feisar, and the fourth one with all ships except Goteki45... almost there. Bastardly third track.
