22.28 (2 BR's, 12 Pads, Qirex Fury). Again, sorry for the quality of the camera, there should be enough evidence of the ship etc and the time.

P.S.- I tried it with Icaras right after, and after about 30-40 laps got a 22.08 (#3) :). May go for the record if i have a chance over the week...*looks at yeldar* ;).

:g
might try tonight

22.09 - 11 pads - 2 BRs - easily beatable I reckon
Will post a pic later on when my phone has charged...

Nice start @ 23:14 - 2br - 10pads - Qirex Fury

Just did like 200 laps to come up with 22.89... could possibly clean it up a little but I don't quite know how to go much faster than this here.

Here's my time so far. However, I think I may be able to improve it.

22.76, 2 BR's, 11 Speed Pads

*Week 2 leaderboard updated*

set me a nice marker with icaras to lower my time

22:69 - 2br - 11pads

Good work on the Qirex time Mietepiet! Come on guys, just post whatever you can!

Week 2 of the Speed Lap Challenge has now finished. A big thank you to all that participated :)

Week 3 has now begun. A reminder - the criteria for this week are as follows: SPEED LAP/CHENGHOU PROJECT (FORWARD)/VENOM/EG-X

Anybody can participate by posting their times

30.88 - 9 pads - 8BRs - EG-X (Fury)

32.39 - 9 pads - 5/6/7?BRs(I wasn't really paying that much attention) - EG-X (Fury)

I suck! But it's the taking part that counts, right? Right? :(

P.S. What's Venom? :P

lol, what's venom indeed :lol

I guess you guys get such good times by getting multiple barrel rolls off at the start... and while I've done it a few times, I can't consistently do that nose-tip thing which looks necessary to do those BR's on chenghou, anyone have some tips for me to get the timing right? :(

ATM I've only got 33.67; the fact that I'm three seconds off the pace is unsettling =P

Me 2, I can use a little help. Got something like 34:64 on my first 100 laps, but missed one 1 of my 4 possible br's.

I'll do a video for people, k?

Any excuse to make a vid is a good one ;)

I've done a br vid at flash on youtube, still be helpful for venom though.
Doesnt show the start mind, just what barrels you should do without the boost

I'll post my time later, along with metropia. I know its late just didnt get round to posting it.
Doesnt beat Yeldars mind, great time in a qirex :beer

:cowboy More than half of those BR's I've never done before, probably; especially the ones that require a sideshift! I only recently started using ss actually, so hopefully I've developed enough to try and implement some of those :P

Thanks

Here's my time so far: 33.78, 4BR's, EG-X FURY
Can definitely be improved, so may post again when I beat it.

SaturnReturn - you don't suck, I can't even get a time like yours :)

When does the challenge finish, i.e. how long do I have to find out what yeldar did and copy him?:pirate

I did find one method of doing as many barrel rolls as yeldar, but I'm sure it can't possibly be as fast - based on my limited Phantom knowledge.
