Yeah, there is few BR's possible on Metropia but this track is different.
Those BR's aren't much faster than good lines. Kingheim's video FTW!
BoostBR start and boost BR right after is a way to go, if you keep tight lines you don't need any more BR's to get good time. That br aaafter magstrip is good for sure but i cant squeez much from it myself. 8)
22.40 - 10sp 1 BR fury
98 laps! and 22.57 - 2BR - 9pads.
22.51 1 BR 10 pads
Great time leungbok! :) and everyone else!
No SL update for me yet.
22.43, 10 pds, 1 br hari hd.
Improved to a new personal record. :D
22.63 / 10 SP / 1BR / Fury
22.42 2BR's 8 pads :(
Improved to 22.51, 9SP's, 1BR.
Think that's my limit unless I can pull off the 2nd BR.
Don't think I have seen it so close! :)
22.37 - 1BR - 10SP - Fury
22.38
cant believe it, i work hard to improve both times, and Rezatron has already beaten both (and smashed the TT time i might add).
Too close! :robot
22.28 - 10SP - still 1BR - Fury
Still can't do that damn BR, how much time do you think you save with it?
Wow, it's so intense between OBH and Rezatron ;)
I reckon a new WR is possible if you could pull off the 2nd BR and keep perfect lines (:robot), as a BR saves around .30 I think.
22.35
reaching my limit, yet you are .3 faster minus 1br....
Baffles me :)
edit:
double posted again, sorry......
22.85 3 brs 8 speedpads fury.
Did 4 brs once but the lines wernt sweet enough.
A VERY competitive challenge this week, and some absolutely amazing times from everyone. Congratulations to Rezatron for his victory this week with only 1 BR (:guitar) and an honourable mention to OBH for his win in the TT challenge :beer All participants names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread here
A certain Mr KGB celebrates his birthday this week, and as you may or may not know, I let regular participants choose the challenge criteria in this case :cake
So, without further ado, KGB's choice for this week is: SPEED LAP/CHENGHOU PROJECT (FORWARD)/PHANTOM/FEISAR
Good luck everybody
Cheers for letting me choose DP. I shall now prove to be totally crap at it :p.
22.81 8 speedpads 5 or 6 brs.
Gonna have to practice like mad for this. I like chengou but allways mess up
22.25 - 7 sp 7 BR fury
22.66 - 4BR - 6 pads - HD
I'm all over the place on this track :dizzy.
22.51 so far. 3 br's, 11 pads, fury feisar
Disappointed I couldn't participate in last week's challenge since Metropia is one of my fav' tracks, but I have been more busy than usual as of late :(
Not all bad I suppose, I think I needed a little break for a bit in any case :P
been busy this week, glad to see its chenghou : hope to have a time for you today.
honestly this is the only thing that keeps me away from left 4 dead 2 :)
edit:
22.01 10pads 3brs
mine was a 22:63 but i dont know the speed pads or BRs :D
I'm really struggling this week. I find that the Feisar ship turns TOO well for me - I'm so used to my Mirage's handling, so I really have to change my lines when using Feisar.
As a result, all I could manage was a 23.45
EDIT: Still bottom of the leaderboard this week, but managed to improve my time to 22.95, 10SP's, 4BR's. Thanks Phlanj and OBH for the advice :)
can your air brakes go any lower?
coz u never know what could help :D
@DP
you should definitely try lower air brakes. Over turning with feisar and pirahna made me switch to 20% sensitivity and ive never looked back :)
Agree - I'm so used to Icaras and Goteki. Now I'm on AG-S and Furymau. Previously hated them but with 100% sensitivity I can just about handle them.:g
This week's challenge has come to an end. A big thank you to all who participated - as usual, your names will added to the Hall of Fame thread located here: Speed Lap Challenge - Hall of Fame
Congratulations goes to OBH this week for his victory in the SL and TT Challenge with some absolutely outstanding times. Do we have a new yeldar in the room...? ;) Well done mate :beer
This weeks criteria is as follows: SPEED LAP/SEBENCO CLIMB (REVERSE)/PHANTOM/MIRAGE
Good luck to everybody :)
Again i'll start the challenge :) 21.09 - 6 BRs 9 sp fury
Had a fair try at it and managed:
21.31 / 8 SP / 6 BR / Fury
So good to race in High Definition again. :g
EDIT: Improved a little. ;)
I'm up to 21.72 at the moment, 6BR's, 5SP's (:bomb)
What's strange is that I can't improve my time even when I hit the 3 speed pads in the tunnel (missed them when I did this time.)
21.11 8pads 6brs
Despite playing woHD since release day i still suck at the final 2 corners on this track.
21.26 6br 9sp Fury
damn, dangerous brothers ! :eek
more dangerous now ive realised a br is possible exiting the tunnel without a boost :)
you didnt realise anything.
it funny i was stuck on .50 with 7br for so long i was about to give up, but even tho i missed a br i took the last turn perfectly that took me to my record. that was on lap 300 or so :D
I managed to have a go last night and got 21.73, which I thought was ok given my patheticness at phantom. Where are you guys boosting/br'ing?
I boost at the usual spot for slower speed classes after the first corner and into the tunnel, but I keep getting terrible landings. Is it faster to boost out of the tunnel on phantom?
And yeah, I'm really not liking this track :P Nearly every corner is a massive pain to take just right while doing all the barrel rolls.
dont be so modest :D any 21.xx is awesome!
I was having trouble with the tunnel aswell but i figured out if you try and land to the left of the 3x speed pads, line up with the bottle neck speed pad and right side shift over the 1st of the 3x speed pads. It throws you out of the tunnel and if your lucky you can get enuff air to do a br aswell.
I hope that made sence i was trying to think of a way to describe that br since yesterday :P
Ahh, thanks Phlanj, that might help me. I usually land in the tunnel and then sideshift to the left and hit the 3 speed pads, but it results in a poor landing. I'll try that right sideshift method and see if it helps :)
