    Cool Fastest Lap in a Feisar EVER - Giant Region Free Challenge!

    HOW FREAKING FAST COULD A FEISAR GO IF A FEISAR COULD FAST GO?

    Warning: The following challenge does not abide by anyone's feelings about how different versions of the games run.

    HERE WE GO! This challenge is to see what the fastest single race lap time in a Feisar EVER can be. Every game from every region is eligible, I have selected what seem to be the 2 fastest tracks in each game. If you use an emulator to play on PC, that's fine, just mention beside your times how you are playing the game. Also for the other games please mention if it is NTSC or PAL(except for XL, 2097 and SE which are obvious).

    Please choose only one of the tracks per game to enter times for, to keep the compilations easier. Remember to keep a paper and pencil handy as you race because let's face it, none of your Feisar laps will likely make it to your memory card!

    Here are the eligible tracks from each game. Remember, Single Race Lap Times only.

    WipE'out" - Terramax and Karbonis - Rapier class
    Wipeout XL/2097 - Talon's Reach and Sagarmatha - Phantom class
    Wipeout 3 - Portokora and Manortop - Phantom class
    Wipeout 3 SE - Talon's Reach and Portokora - Phantom class
    Wipeout 64 - Any track as fast as you can go!!!
    Wipeout Pure - Exostra Run and Staten Park - Phantom class

    This is going to be a six-month long challenge in order to give everyone plenty of time to warm up their Feisars.

    Please just edit your first post to update your times, do not post more than once. If you change your mind about which track you want to enter times for in a game, just delete the first one.

    At the end of the challenge we will see who has the fastest Feisar lap time in each of the above games, and who has the fastest Feisar lap time EVER. (Which will probably go to the Exostra lap time...perhaps!)

    P.S. As in the WO Zone tables rules, NO cheats (Ex. unlimited hyperthrust, weapons, shield, white boost pads) are to be enabled for this challenge, only those "cheats" which unlock the speed classes/tracks. Thanks.

    Depending on how many participate, I will try to make a standings post for each game and fastest lap overall about once a month.

    Ooooh, cool! And best of all, we've got plenty of time for this challenge - a God-send for me, as I'll be busy at college for most of the year.

    I think Karbonis is the shortest track in Pure, then Exostra Run, but great idea for a challenge, I`ll be entering some times in this post.

    I see your point in post #8 Medusa. A lot more fun with the original instead of the greenie Pure tracks too.

    Cool

    I should explain: I left Karbonis (and Portokora, etc.) out of the Pure tracks because they are "simulation tracks" if I am correct (please correct me if I am wrong), and I thought I'd leave the challenge as real as our favourite simulator can be...you know, no simulations on a simulation, if that makes sense. (Also now there is more variety of tracks, since each game does handle differently.)

    I don't think this should count in the fastest lap EVER category, since it is essentially a SIMULATION single race lap. Make sense?

    (Also, I left Fusion out of this challenge. I'm sure you all know why. Or can think of a few good reasons why...)

    WHY I CHOSE SINGLE RACE FOR THE CHALLENGE:
    Simply because in a time trial you only get one turbo per lap and in single race you can sometimes use three on the same lap (although I've never played Wo64 or Pure so not sure how that works in those games???) So theoretically a faster lap can be done when racing a full field of opponents ;8

    Talking


    17.8 seconds. Phantom/TT/Klies Bridge/Project64 emulator (640x480 res).

    Previous record: 18.2 seconds in SR mode (w/ Cyclone).

    Time Trial is better for tracks like this with a very fast first section, because you get two turbo boosts per TT lap (one fired just before the finish line on the previous lap, one when you start the lap), while you rarely ever get two turbo boosts per SR lap - you might get three in a SR lap, but you cannot use the third one on that track anyway.

    Klies Bridge is a mirror image of Talon's Reach, but the starting grid is perfectly straight, making it slightly faster.

    I don't think ignoring stick2trax and taking a shortcut at the big first hill would make much of a difference on this track, at least not with the Feisar. It wouldn't be illegal because there are no buildings to clip through, but the missed speed pads and the hard landing make it not worth it imo.

    Cool

    "you get two turbo boosts per TT lap...you might get three in a SR lap, but you cannot use the third one on that track anyway."

    I disagree, it totally depends on the "luck of the draw" (otherwise called the weapon bias of the game?) and how many weapon pads you hit on the way. On my Karbonis V WipEout time I entered above, I used 3 turbo boosts on that lap (and hit the wall on one of them, so a faster time on that is definitely possible).

    Yes, with TT you are guaranteed 2 turbos per lap, but you can get more in single race. (At least in the races I have tried.) Practice means...you have more chances to pick up triple turbos!

    Besides single race separates the men from the boys...er, women and the men from the boys - requires more skill to keep your cool in a single race than a time trial, no?
    (see my above post in which I stated reason for single race lap, if you want)

    But this is all beside the point, back to the challenge at hand...

    Yeah, well, this isn't a keep-cool contest, but a lap time contest.

    Also, I got three turbos ONCE in ~2 hours, and got quaked into the wall before I could use the third one. My times stagnated at 18.2 and I couldn't get them down for the life of me. Thusly...

    Cool

    "I got three turbos ONCE in ~2 hours" Yes, and that's another reason this is a six-month challenge

    Perhaps I named the challenge a little too loosely, however once this is over we'll know what the fastest SR lap can be won't we? (And maybe then someone will start a Feisar TT challenge for whatever game and track it was. )

    Anyways nice time Brother Laz, you are teaching us all we ought to give WO64 a bit more respect!
    P.S - what does "w/Cyclone" mean?

    ...we are getting a bit off "topic" here, more times anyone??

    I started a Feisar Phantom class 2097/XL TT Spilskinanke Challenge, once.

    A bit too tightly focussed and brief for your purposes, though.
