Well it can be done over to the left but sometimes the BR won't register/complete itself because of the wall on the left-hand side. You can skip over the wall for the BR which is nice and fast but more often than not you'll end up facing the other direction.
There's also a doubleBR going into the tunnel (after the boost) but it's more trouble than it's worth and has to be done really well in order to get even a tiny advantage over your ghost. But it's there if you want it :+
@ yeldar
Great record :clap
That double BR, how did you do that? Boost after a left hander, go close to the left wall (there's a small bump) and BR again befor the hill? Or you mean double BR on that hill after the straight?
You can also double a Zico BR. Do a first BR as early as you can, land as close as you can with pitch down, SS right + pitch up. It's VERY hard but some people can do it (---> xbarnsterx)
Actually you can do both, I tried them both yesterday and they both work :D
I managed to do the double on the overpass a few times but when I am on a good lap I get quite nervous so I always go for a safe single BR onto the overpass. I would make a video but my camera is broken at the moment so I can't at the moment.
I only do 5BRs/lap but in the optimum lap I think there are 9BRs :rock
C'mon Yeldar, use a mobile phone or anything to record it :)
Long time ago i posted AP venom video where i did a double on the overpass with turbo (the very first one in this vid). I managed to do it WITHOUT turbo on phantom class :) Keep left, SS right + pitch, BR over the gap, tap the overpass and BR again o_O
I have that recorded :)
Go away for a few days, and what happens... Yeldar and Wotan come out of semi-retirement, grrr!! ;). Thought I may of been on for a TT and SL first place.
One thing I've realized in doing these Speed laps is that I am crap at phantom. Only taken about a year and a half to figure it out :lol. I'll give it a go later.
Well officially I'm playing ninja gaiden sigma 2 but I couldn't resist my fave speedclass/ship/track combo ^_^
damn it, what am I doing wrong?!?!?! If I screw up before the tunnel, I can pull off the remaining 2 BRs at the end, if I play perfect (or at least better than my ghost) all the way through the tunnel, I screw up one of the 2 remaining BRs!! it's driving me mad.
and 99 laps only got me 2/100ths of a second better even once I managed to pull off 5BRs again >_<
20.77 5br 10sp Fury.

Video quality will improve after it has finished processing.
20.51 - 16p - 5br - HD
For that linked br on overpass (yeldar way). It makes it a bit easier if you kiss the wall a little.
edit:
@Mr.Wolf, for that 3rd br, keep the left-hander (after narrow section) very tight on exit with a left ss, leaving you a longer straight to the br
well i'm probably getting older cos' i simply don't understand how and where do you guys are pulling a 5th br on this track. i remember your ninja gaiden anulpha vid yeye, as far as i remember you made 4 brs for a 20.04. so i can imagine your margin with this 5th one. but wth, where is it? still don't understand your explanations guys, sorry.
EDIT- just forget my post guys, was too tired to realise i'm doing 5 brs too. gah i'm dumb.
20.29 - 14 sp - 5 br - hd :)
am I right? :PQuote:

I know, I'm just giving you a hard time ;)
I managed to knock my time down a bit more (when I should be doing homework instead :P )
20.58 - 5BR - 14SP - Fury
20.17, 14 sp, 5 brs, ica hd :pirate. still don't understand why the fury ship seems a bit slower. hidden stats?
Great time Kanar. Icaras HD ftw :rock
Personally I don't find Icaras as fast (or as pretty...or as nice to fly) as Icaras+ because it swings around too much in the corners anddoens't seem to hold its speed as well and the HD version. Overall I think that despite the thrust+handling improvements IcaHD is faster for me because it's a much tighter package. A bit like Auricom and Auricom+ - AuricomHD it tight like a drum :g
You sure you got them the right way round in the second line yeldar? For me Fury Ica is pretty much always faster, but I prefer HD Ica. It's just nicer.
Yep...can't get anywhere near any of my times with Ica+. Can't get ANY consistency either. That's probs just cos I'm not used to it. These days I only really use HDIca and Hazza+. Also HD Ica looks cooler in the rankings, it's a retro-chic kinda thing. You know what I mean, I know you do :g
20.14, 16 sp, 5 brs, hd ship :evil fear to be hunted by leungbok now lol. grrrr stupid job tomorrow, sadly, have to go to sleep.
not before i find the courage to race on anoobpha, mate, lol. It can takes weeks or months :lol
but if you really want me to hunt you, i'm interested by your ghost ;) 4 BRs :eek
I've got a question for all you guys who always have wicked low times (kanar, wotan, yeldar, etc);
When you get these insanely fast lap times, are they just flukes after hundreds of laps or do you consistently have laps around the same times?
I can't seem to maintain the same racing line all the time, I graze walls and slam into corners, I lose momentum... I don't technically suck at this game but something doesn't seem to click with how to always get good lines.. compare my Anulpha speed lap embarrassment before:

or even WO1:

when I play casually, I may not always do perfect laps every time, but it's much easier for me to get repeatedly low times in the earlier games than anything after Fusion. Do I need more practice? Do you guys have the same issues? Or are you Wipeout gods? lol
(also, I miss 30 second phantom laps ;_; )
