25.66 - 10sp 3BRs fury
I got 25.96 with 2 Br's and 7 sp G45 F, and 10 laps later I get 3rd Br, so my record for now is:
25.90 3Br's 9 sp G45 F.
So far I'm at 26.43 with 3BR's. I don't think I'm doing my 3rd BR in the right place though, as I miss a double speed pad if I do it, so I don't really know what's best.
Which one is the 3rd one? The one after the mag? Or are you skipping that one and going for the one at the end?
27.15 / 6 SP / 2 BRs / G-45 phantom... meh, tried 4 goes and gave up. :(
@Ace-flo, Where are you boosting mate ?
I BR just before the first drop, on the left turn - airbrake gets me the lift then I BR, hit the speed pad and BR over the dip just before the left turn which leads you to the 2 long straights by a hairpin bend. I use my Turbo on the second straight and that's that...
... wait, can I turbo=BR that straight?
more help would be appreciated :) thanks Leungy :rock :)
yeldar?! How are you still around? Unless you're the spirit of yeldar sent to guide us ;)Quote:

And ACE - glad to have you on board mate, it's the taking part that counts :rock
Yeldar still here ! Astonishing !! :rolleyes:
@Ace-flo, boost where you br before the first drop, it's faster even if you get less BRs ;)

True, once I get 5 BR's on one lap, and didn't make amazing time.
living proof, even if you're on holidays touring continents half way across the planet - you'll get adrenaline sickness and come here for your fixes :DQuote:

I had a quick go at this (too busy trying to destroy Olympus :twisted) and I suck big time, can't remember what I have but it's bad. Top 50/40?, I'll edit later.
Well when i've just woken up and my mates are still asleep and I have nothing better to do, I use this thing called wifi - you may have heard of it.
am from the HIFI generation... i also enjoy sci-fi, and i'm living kinda lo-fi (with mum)
when do you get back bud? :)
Thought I'd give it a shot... set a new personal best :g (though not as good as you guys):
26:14 / 11 SP / 2 BR / Fury
25.81 fury
not bad, but if i can tighten lines and hit the 4th br i should be able to improve.
goteki is so wierd to fly :)
damn I hate Goteki... it's twitchy as all get out, and especially bad on Amphiseum.
26.56 8sp 4br Fury
I didn't put much effort into this because I think I'm gonna kill something otherwise, very infuriating lol
What's with all the Goteki hate? Weird? Twitchy? You must all be doing it wrong. :P
Well, i dunno, it's very interesting ship ;)
25.72 4Br's 7 Sp G45 Fury
BTW, here is my litlle movie about 5x Br's on Amphi ;)

good time triboy :)
i just find goteki to be slow personally. shame cos i also think the fury ship looks badass.
I think Goteki is a fast ship, i was testing it on Sol 2 and i was surprised with constant sub 19's. The problem is, i don't want to put much effort in perfecting my Goteki's time, because i will beat it with Icaras for sure. :)
Congrats Tri - my man! :D
The G'45 feels a bit like the Icaras to me. At least when comparing the Fury versions. It's pretty smooth, but it's on the slower side of things overall. The thrust is handy online. Not much point in using it in SL though since there are ships that can take corners/straights faster. Furymau is better in almost every way for SL.
Speaking of the Furymau, am I the only one who finds it harder to pitch with than most of the other ships? I'm probably doing it wrong :(
Back on topic, I attempted a few more laps but failed to get a better time. Again, :(
update - 25.71 - 8sps 4brs :)
while at mine mr phlanj decided to compete and got 25.80 too
Another week has come to a close - a big congratulations to all who participated, and well done to leungbok for his victory this week :beer
All of your names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread here
The Speed Lap Challenge also welcomes its newest competitors (very strong ones too) - triboy and Woopzilla :rock
The criteria for this week are as follows: SPEED LAP/SOL 2 (REVERSE)/VENOM/EG-X
Good luck everybody
26.46 3brs
I?ve not had much time this week been fiddling around with my new iphone, bought 3 wipeout clones, 1 of them is pretty good, not wipeout though. low gravity racer 2.
Just in time brainbeat - I'll add you to the list mate
29.32 / 7 SP / 3 BR / Fury
New personal best. :D
aww mr phlanj gets no mention of being a strong contender :g hah, he'll hate that when i tell him.
did take him over 297 laps though! :beer
Who got done for posession and what the bloody hell is a ranga? :lol
29.14 6sp 4br Fury
If I could clean up my lines, I could probably get better, but I've already got bad thumb cramps with just playing for half an hour, and Venom is always infuriating :P
28.75, 4 BR's, 6 sp's, Fury 'X
Out of curiosity, how did barnster and particularly shapealot smash 28 seconds so badly? I'd like to see a video of that... had a go with the icaras and only got 28.36, thought it was an ok lap but didn't see how 27.2X was possible. Shape must have absolutely nailed it
Xbarnsterx and Shapealot are BR kings for slower classes, they do incredible stuff like that :

Double BR on the bridge section I presume, here's a vid at Flash and Rapier:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdomnznNcSA
Looks easy in the vids but I couldn't do it when I did my Sol2r SLs a few months ago.
Both of those vids are awesome; but that AP< is just insane :eek
I'll have to have a look at attempting a double then, though I'm nowhere near as good as others are at making a BR out of nothing. To think, I've been using the ramp on the side to get my single BR, like some kind of schmuck :lol
28.61
somethings going seriously wrong if im a massive 2 seconds behind :)
Improved to:
29.17 / 7 SP / 3 BR / Fury
Where are you guys getting your 4th barrel roll if you aren't double BRing on the bridge? :o
I'm boost-BRing after the S bend at the beginning, once when going up the curved ramp and once on the bridge with the aid of a sideshift clipping the barrier/wall. :redface:
There's one at the start. I approach the start line from the right and boost as I'm about to hit the 2nd grid position, pitch up a little and BR off the bump just ahead.
On the double-br: I tried about 40 laps mostly going for a double BR on that bridge section, and managed to do it once... but couldn't replicate it. I'm finding it pretty tough to pull off.
Hey thanks! That shaved off .28 of my time! :D
28.89 / 6 SP / 4 BR / Fury
I'm useless at finding barrel rolls myself. :redface:
Lol of course he's a worthy contender, he's just not a new one which is why I didn't put his name down ;)Quote:
