Another week has come to a close, and what a week it was with the Studio Liverpool shock :( Once again, the speed lappers names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread.
This weeks criteria are as follows: SPEED LAP/SEBENCO CLIMB (REVERSE)/FLASH/AURICOM
No need to wait with bated breath soon KGB, in a couple of weeks the choice will be with you guys just as it was during Christmas and the New Year.
Nice :D
27.68 - 8pads - 7br - fury
Cheers wolf sorry had to go work:( so just read your reply.
I wish i knew that br 10 hrs ago lol.
btw if anyones interested lol i have an idea involving magnets mice in powerwheel and remotecontrol.:twisted
I'm dumbfounded... I actually can't do this week's challenge.
Flash is literally just too slow
.__.
I'm in that position too AG. My time is around a second slower than Mietepiet's. And as for 7BR's, I can only do 6, 2 of which actually slow me down.
Did a 100 lap session on sol2 yesterday, trying for that br at start, but i've never ended in front of my ghost. Anyway Thanx AG-wolf for that vid, will try it agai in the future.
27.76 - 9SP - 5 or 6 BRs - fury
I got a Boost/BR at the start once but haven't tried it a lot. Lots of sideshifting needed to get any BRs on this track.
Should be around 11 useful BRs by my reckoning :)
Out of the 6 BR's I know, you don't have to sideshift to do any of them :o
Of course it makes one or two of them easier and faster though...
I reckon going for the nose down/up-br for a BR at the start would be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much trouble for its worth on this track. I might be wrong, but I think I'd need a video to be convinced :P
might have a go with the Auricom later
edit:
11 BR's!? :(

No, thankfully not. They aren't actally all that taxing, cept the boostBR at the start - tis hard to control.
....There's really hard BRs and then there's impossible, stupid, highly unfair, BR-maniac (you know who you are ;) ) BRs
where are you people boosting btw?
I'm boosting right after the start and getting two (sometimes three if I'm lucky) BR's going into the tunnel. My time is way off of the other guys though.
Oh there's 3 going into the tunnel? In that case I meant 12 ;)
:eek I thought 3BR's in the tunnel was part of the 11BR's!
12 BR always deserves a vid, yeye !! ;)Quote:

Probably need to change my line then, i don't seem to have enough speed to get them on the line I want to take so I have to SS across to get the height. Failure on my behalf no doubt. Not going to even try and get any more than 7 on here, 12 is a ridiculous amount IMO. I'm starting to hate them. My thumb's wrecked from trying 21 on the TTQuote:

Just try pitching up a bit KGB, that should be enough for the BR's on the hill after the straight out of the tunnel, the one you can pull off right after it, and the one going down the hill around the bend; but stay left for that last one.
I think i got 27.50 last night, but will have to check, oh and i cant make the 2nd to last br like that amplificated, i have to go on rhs then left ss to get that 1,
this is the one where you're going down the hill after the bend yeah? Usually I stay on the left until about halfway down, then ss right and BR
Different methods ey? :P
My earlier attempt was with the Icaras 'cause I forgot which ship I was supposed to use, so my time is invalid, but I got 27.49 I think with my method, with room for improvement.
New time. 27.16 - 6 pads - 7Brs - Fury. Still sideshifting to get 3 of them, just cant seem to get the pitch right and I have to take my thumb off accelerate to get round the last corner :redface::paperbag.
Doesn't make all that much difference as far as I know...I sideshift the ones going down the hill sometimes, it just depends on what line you have taken duringthe previous BR/corner...maybe? :lol
Nice lap time, kgb ! :)
I got a question about the left-hander after the uphill straight.
Is if possible to land the 2nd br on or near the speedpads, so
the boost kicks in on the straight?
I'm landing it now just before the corner, ending most of the
time in the right-side wall
I think its possible, i think if you were to do 1st br on right hand side, you could probably land on it, not my favourite track prefer forward. I will try later though,
i managed to get a br by hitting mountain on left side on the final left turn, but was in a practice lap.
I got 27.61 with few BR's. These days i race mostly Phantom and i can't find myself on lower speed classes :(
Different methods? I tried to boost on the straight before last corner.
Boost right after the left turn with pitch up. You can land a BR on the top of the hill and pull off the second one into the last corner. You can also fly over the hill. I think my best with this method was 28.06 or something. The whole session was no more than 20-25 laps, i don't have patience anymore.
P.S. Can we try AnooBpha Pass Forward / Rapier next week :)
or Moa Therma Forward /Rapier
I start in the middle of the crest then SS over to the left. I think I have the left air break on straight after the 2nd BR and I might of taken my thumb off the X button here as well.
I can't get the BR to land directly on the speed pads - I have to sideshift onto them
Improved to: 27.39 - 9pads - 7br
I use the same method as kgb, but i keep pressing X and praying not to touch anything :brickwall
27.66 from me, 10 SP's, ?BR's. So close to a podium finish - how did you get a time so good KGB :eek
I think we need to ask shapealot that one. Funny though, I must of missed loads of SP and still got a decent time. I know I hit the ones at the bottom of the tunnel and the ones at the last corner, is that 5 or 4? So I may of hit only one other, don't know which one. Strange!
Week 21 has come to a close - congratulations to KGB for his victory this week :clap
All participants will be added to the Hall of Fame thread.

just had a 5 min session probably close to best i can do minus insane double br under wing,
19.00 3 brs fury
The first and last probably. But :hyper anyway
What is this? Spam the phantom while I'm away?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
:lol
P.S. great stuff KGB.
made me chuckle :)
19.43 from me, 3BR's. Really going to try and get a podium finish this week.
How come you're taking a break from Wipeout yeldar?
19.58 - 5p - 2br
Where are you doing the 3rd br?
Link it after the 1st, or at the end of the last corner.
