The Speed Lap Challenge

I could be wrong but I think the fastest method is, after the S's boost at the SP down the track and BR, then up to the tight hair pin BR there and then at the crest of the last hill.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RubsI...eature=related found this.

you can boost down the hill near start and br then take the left hander apex pitch up br and ss round corner,
my start was like yours agwolf but a bit earlier and no br,

like video above but br at 13 secs in too,

gotcha, awesome Ill try that later this week then... I actually have classwork I should be doing today :P Thanks... I used to boost at that early part of the track, but it never seemed to be much faster for me; guess I just need to spend more time with it.

new new new new new updated time:
19.78 4br 6sp fury and i could have done better but i scraped the wall like at the last 10 feet before the finish line >____< my hand hurts so much right now lol

edit 2: What, do i need to post a pic because I don't normally get decent times like this or something? :P lol

19.46 4 br, 6sp fury ship

Good times Leungbok and AG Wolf, I'm struggling with this my self, it seems a real fight trying to get this ship round the track at the moment. I'd really like to beat my personal best in it but I'm about .5 down still. Getting there slowly

20.37 so far without the corner BR. I found it was actually slowing me down. Maybe I'm not taking the angle right...

Pictures are purely optional AG-wolf.

My apologies for not updating your time - I didn't notice your edited post :paperbag

Sorted it now - great time :)

EDIT: Sorry, didn't mean to double post - go easy on me mods ;)

on the off-chance I don't get an opportunity to work any harder at my time, I'll post my incremental improvement for now:
19.71 4br 6sp fury

20.26 - 5pads - 3br - fury

sub 20 should be well in reach, since I haven't used a boost @ start. hope 2 have some time 2 improve.

lol, I just noticed the tags in this thread :lol

@DP86: With the BR on the corner you can get around fine in most ships without having to pay too much attention to the line you take: Just make sure you keep airbraking left when you're actually doing the LRL/RLR thingy. I think with Qirex you should be fine just so long as you are middle-right-ish when you enter the corner.

I actually find it easier to approach no further left than the middle of the course as you go up the ramp at the corner... it helps you orient your ship left without hitting the inside wall, so that when you land, the boost from the BR takes you straight through the rest of the turn without hitting anything.. but of course everyone has their own technique lol XD

Fair enough, I don't really know...harimau+ doesn't really take any effort at all and that's what I'm used to. Self-driving ships ftw :P

Edit: Actually you may be right there, just check one of my old qirex vids and it seems I didn't really approach from the right at all.

My bad :paperbag

my new pb 19.69 5 speedpads 3brs, (just a boost start no br there ever for me)

D: Do you guys play without hitting the walls at all or something? :P Awesome, only 3brs! I have like 4 or 5 hours to try and beat that now XD

lol, i was for the first 50 laps, just got lucky, Theres quite a bit of time that i scraped off at the beggining by ss into the s corner, if done right you dont need to do any airbraking.

Out of curiosity when you do the boost br into the lap do you boostbr half way down the straight or do you boost br near the last speedpad?
I only managed to br when doing mega early but never took corner sweet when i managed it.

As I approach the starting grid, with the 8 launch pads, I start nosing down... I fire the turbo just as I hit the launch position furthest from the start/finish line and immediately pull back/nose up. The track makes a very slight incline RIGHT before the turn starts, and it puts you just high enough off the track to do a BR if you're quick enough

if you wait just a tiny bit later to fire the turbo, you can utilize more of its speed in the next lap, but sometimes you risk overshooting the right wall of the turn

19.51 6sp 4br Fury

Argh I beat my time but in the Time Trial Challenge, so it doesn't count :(

Don't think I ever posted my time.

20.28 - 5sp - 3BRs - FURY.

Not a good week, one of my favorite tracks but least favorite ships, then I didn't feel like playing much due to the news about SL.

Kgb, mate, i think that we must do the opposite, and play that wonderfull game as we never did (if real life allows that off course ^^) ! :)
On topic : nice time ag-wolf ;)

Yeah, chin up and all that :D. I'll do this weeks more, I'm waiting with bated breath to see what it is.
