Or at the start? ;)
1st BR at the start (nose up trick - very hard to stop yourself from slamming into a wall though, that's what happened to me, so my time could be faster.)Quote:

Best I've gotten is 19.32 so far. Got that early this morning, then raced on the same track for another 2 hours but never beat it. Did this with 2 BR's, hit 7 speedpads.
The top time is 18.39... how the hell I'll ever shave another second off of that time beats me.
I'm not totally convinced that this Br is faster at phantom speed than a normal boost with good line :|Quote:

I'm not totally sure mate ^^, but when i compare with my ghost it looks like a big amount of risk for few benefit ;)
18.86 attempt with fury ship, 2 BR, 7 sp.Attachment 1627
19.23 8sp 3br fury
It's insulting... I can do the double BR under the wing with relative consistency, but I can't do the BR right after the start/finish line -_-
This may be my best effort this week, I have a few BIG assignments I've put off until the last minute D:
Who wants to explain to me (in words, not video) how to do the double BR under the wing? I haven't been able to figure it out at all. Think I only ever did it once. :(
the best tip is to boost as early as you can, from the right hand side of track, so keep to rhs after first ss, i get it 50/50 if i dont respawn, if you boost late you miss the hump, its also poss to get 2xbr over the wing when you boost really early,
Edit:
19.11 now, with the Fury ship.
2 br's, 7 speedpads.
@Saturn;
assuming you already know how to do the shortcut and 1 BR under the wing;
launch with the boost like normal
BR in mid-air
land on the track as soon as possible after passing under the wing
the boost you receive when landing will pull you high enough off the track that you can BR again
and then you land right at the base of the hill which climbs up into the first weird circle turn.
EDIT: see attached pic... I've been getting a lot of that.
ahem, why would anyone assumed such a thing.:redface:
I can do the normal shortcut reasonably OK sometimes, but I respawn more often than not. Will try brainbeat's suggestion about boosting early and see if that helps. I usually boost almost at the edge of the track, so that could be where I mess up.
Thanks guys.
Mine and Saturn's copy must be different to everyone else's. I always respawn going under the wing. It looks like I'm boosting where you are meant to but I still miss it. 19.3x - 2Br - FURY for me at the moment.
I can't do the double BR under the wing either. I'm the same as KGB - I always respawn whenever I attempt it. Kudos for being able to do it consistently AG-wolf :)
19.00 here, 2 BR's, 6 pads, Fury
@ Saturn
To do double BR under the wing you have to stay as close to the track as you can. After using boost don't go straight line but keep turning left just like the track goes, land as soon as you can (before speed pad).
@ BR at the start
It's really hard to get advanatage from this BR, i think it's the same with Leungbok's last straight BR. If you can't get under 18.80 without those BR's there's no point of trying them. Taking right handers after boosting and list chicane is most importantant if you ask me.
EDIT:
18.89 3 BR's 6 pads Fury ship
Managed an 18.91, 2BR's, 6SP's. Don't know how I did it.
EDIT: Taking my top spot away so soon phaeton? ;)
18.79 3 brs :)
Ouch, nice phaeton and dark-phantom :eek
It smells bad for my time on this challenge :brickwall
;)
What was i saying ! :bomb gg brainbeat ;)
The BR's you are all talking about, are they like the first 2 BR's in this vid?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7TpKu7vYtx0
No, the first 2 in this vid :)

:eek I thought my time would be very high up this week, obviously I was wrong! Great work brainbeat :)Quote:

Thanx Pheaton for the great advice. It gave me much more consistancy on the shortcut.
19.15 - 7p - 2br
For that last br, do you have to time it with the bounces? I've tried a million times, but lost only 15 million energy point. One time I saw that butt doing some kind of samba wiggle :hyper
Its strange if i just boost i cant beat my boostbr ghost, but i find it hard to get a line to go under wing if i do a brboost start. I did a single br under wing for my best time,
oh if you see someone online called internalbrain its me. Ive decided to try and platinum internal view, done airbrake 1 1st time, and zico in 4 laps,:) I tried this internally and got 3 brs 19.10,
@mietepiet just keep to the inside and ss, pitch up, may need to right airbrake in air, so long as u dont slow down too much taking corner should be alright
18.72 . 2 BR and 7 speed pads . Mirage fury
Only 0.01 behind my ghost , but i really dislike mirage ,so i'll try to improve with my ag-systems now :)
Yeldar is gone, Wotan is back ! :hyper
yep, that's terrific. Hope wowo won't be too much exhausted by his 700 kms by car to reach my bunker friday, feb. 19... I need him in good shape to rock this upcoming wipeout week-end! I only managed a 19.07 (fury ship, 2 brs, 6 pads) late in the tuesday night, after a 99 laps session. Don't think I'll try to improve that, I like the handling of this ship but it feels really weird to control it, I'm always turning more than necessary. And I suck at this game anyway lol.
Ahh I see now. Thank you. Now I can at least see where the extra second could come from. ^^Quote:

Also in the Fury ship.
good times everyone, i spent another 99 laps trying to get all 4 brs to no avail, so hat's off to wotan, im pretty much working nxt 2 days so my final was 18.79
There are some phenomenal times this week D: I might give it one more shot this afternoon... I wish that stupid shortcut under the wing weren't an option lol
I can't improve on my time, so it looks like 18.91 is my final one for this week.
I did all I could to go sub 19, but last last corner didn't allow me :(
small improvemed to: 19.05 - 6p - 2br - fury

Cool, I think this is my favorite track :D. Not outstandingly good at it, but I could easily put in 100 laps on it and not be sick of it. (The Jedi mind tricks and subliminal messages must of worked) ;).
EDIT: 22.31 - 2BR - 10SP - FURY. I can manage the Boost/BR at the start on the slower speeds, not managed it yet on this.
im .05 behind you so far kjb, yep not managed to do brboost myself i think its the piranha 4 me as im sure i have done with icarus before. are you boosting over the like roof structure near end?
I have tried boosting at beginning of track I can get a 3xbr by boostin on first straight but still behind my challenge ghost by like .10. i can only manage 1 br on the right turn befor magstrip without a boost and sure i can do a double somehow, just gotta learn the pitch though as i think you have to pitch down then up on land to kinda bounce. Im pretty sure i have done on phantom or in online races with icarus on rapier
theres a br on first corner too but don't think its faster than a smooth line, i can get a nice line by extreme cutting and missing 1st speedpad
I posted a convoluted explanation regarding my approach to the track in the TT topic. My 21.93 Icaras time is a normal boost start, I gave up trying a boost-BR start and i'm doubting the benefits.
poor time, but wanna let ya know:
23.38 11 SPs 2 BRs Piranha Fury
Sorry Leungbok, just realised that I did miss you out. Please accept my apologies, I'll add you right away :)Quote:

EDIT 2: 22.53 so far, 2BR's, 11 SP's, Fury Piranha
Lol, it's gonna be close again :D
22.54 - 11p - 2br- fury
I was trying for a br @ the triple speedpad, with a left ss from the wall. It might be an advantage.
I was trying that the other day mate. It may be possible.:p
