The Speed Lap Challenge

I think i got 27.50 last night, but will have to check, oh and i cant make the 2nd to last br like that amplificated, i have to go on rhs then left ss to get that 1,

this is the one where you're going down the hill after the bend yeah? Usually I stay on the left until about halfway down, then ss right and BR

Different methods ey? :P

My earlier attempt was with the Icaras 'cause I forgot which ship I was supposed to use, so my time is invalid, but I got 27.49 I think with my method, with room for improvement.

New time. 27.16 - 6 pads - 7Brs - Fury. Still sideshifting to get 3 of them, just cant seem to get the pitch right and I have to take my thumb off accelerate to get round the last corner :redface::paperbag.

Doesn't make all that much difference as far as I know...I sideshift the ones going down the hill sometimes, it just depends on what line you have taken duringthe previous BR/corner...maybe? :lol

Nice lap time, kgb ! :)

I got a question about the left-hander after the uphill straight.
Is if possible to land the 2nd br on or near the speedpads, so
the boost kicks in on the straight?
I'm landing it now just before the corner, ending most of the
time in the right-side wall

I think its possible, i think if you were to do 1st br on right hand side, you could probably land on it, not my favourite track prefer forward. I will try later though,
i managed to get a br by hitting mountain on left side on the final left turn, but was in a practice lap.

I got 27.61 with few BR's. These days i race mostly Phantom and i can't find myself on lower speed classes :(

Different methods? I tried to boost on the straight before last corner.
Boost right after the left turn with pitch up. You can land a BR on the top of the hill and pull off the second one into the last corner. You can also fly over the hill. I think my best with this method was 28.06 or something. The whole session was no more than 20-25 laps, i don't have patience anymore.

P.S. Can we try AnooBpha Pass Forward / Rapier next week :)
or Moa Therma Forward /Rapier

I start in the middle of the crest then SS over to the left. I think I have the left air break on straight after the 2nd BR and I might of taken my thumb off the X button here as well.

I can't get the BR to land directly on the speed pads - I have to sideshift onto them

Improved to: 27.39 - 9pads - 7br

I use the same method as kgb, but i keep pressing X and praying not to touch anything :brickwall

27.66 from me, 10 SP's, ?BR's. So close to a podium finish - how did you get a time so good KGB :eek

I think we need to ask shapealot that one. Funny though, I must of missed loads of SP and still got a decent time. I know I hit the ones at the bottom of the tunnel and the ones at the last corner, is that 5 or 4? So I may of hit only one other, don't know which one. Strange!

What is this? Spam the phantom while I'm away?

19.43 from me, 3BR's. Really going to try and get a podium finish this week.

How come you're taking a break from Wipeout yeldar?

19.58 - 5p - 2br

Where are you doing the 3rd br?
Link it after the 1st, or at the end of the last corner.
