I always forget about TT. Too tired tonight, will have to attempt it tomorrow before the birthday sessions begins.... at about 8am!! :beer

Haha same I forgot about it completely as well. I've been too busy trying to beat your SL, about 200 or so laps later and I can't improve lol. I'll put my TT in this post once I finish it later today.

Gahhhhh I want in.

Poor little Time Trial's feeling rejected you know.

Well... its been almost a month since I played WipEout HD (or ps3)... I made 2 online races and 2 attempts on the TT week challenge.
The result is...

2:04:09

44 Speed pads and pls don't ask about BRs lol

I'm feeling really unconfortable playing. It's like I never played this before ehehe I'll do the SL later ;)

Noooooo. Here I was thinking I might win because everyone else had forgotten. Back to the PS3!

EDIT: New Time = 1:57.67 - 38SP - 23BR - FURY
1:57.80 - 38SP - 22BR - HD

That was fun :D

Damn! Off to the ps3! Hope i can get a time in before DP puts up a new challenge! :beer

Yes, that's it. I keep thinking of DarkDrium777, or someone like that. Excuse me.

Oops, looks like I forgot to post in this thread last week... :redface:

So did I, a bit late but for last week I got 1.45.76 - 11BRs - 47 pads - Fury

For this week, Ubermall venom Feisar I have 1.30.04 - 27 pads - 14 BRs - Fury

A strange one as the way I'm doing it I get quicker each lap because of my boost location

1.26.58 - 28 Pads - 15BRs - Fury

New WR :hyper

:eek You beat my Icaras time with Feisar? All hope is lost I quit this game :g

Where did you use your boost on the last lap? I know you can do a double BR before the split (which is faster I think). I have trouble doing that and used it after the split before the drop.

Same place as all the other laps ;)

I'm guessing I just used a different (faster perhaps?) technique to yours. I boost at the start of each lap :)

Hmm... just give that method a try and came out about 5/6 seconds slower but also doing just 4 BRs per lap.... can't be right. Are you boosting right after the line and doing a BR then hopping the wall and doing another BR?

Indeed, as if it were the start of a Speed Lap...cept after the line instead of before :P

Mine's 5 per lap:

1. BoostBR
2. Mini-shortcut boost
3. Top of the hill
4. Top-ish of the hill
5. Out of the chicane immediately after the hill.

Can't get near my ghost any other way. What you doing method-wise?

I'm boosting right before the line (well, after the final rise when the track becomes level). You still get enough speed to hop the wall. This method makes the first lap slow but the last lap very fast since you have another boost to use. The problem I have with doing your method is when I boost after the line I carry way to much speed and have trouble hopping the wall! :bomb

lap1: 3BR (actually 4 if you do a right SS-BR off the first left speed pad).
lap2: 5BR (the standard 5 you're doing)
lap3: 7BR using the speed lap method (but I didn't do it that way in my 1.26.75 run since I suck at it).

I think this might be the fastest method if done correctly (16 BRs). Low 1.26.xx in Icaras for sure, maybe 1.25.xx for you ;)

Hmm...just tried your method, must be doing something wrong as I maxed out at 1.28.04...

Update with my method: 1.26.21 - 27 Pads - 15BRs - Fury - WR ;)

Time Trial > Vineta K Forward > Rapier > Goteki 45 HD

01.34.30, 34 Speed Pads, 11 Barrel Rolls

Vineta K Rapier Time Trial:

1.24.43 - 40 Pads - 24BRs - Goteki 45 Fury

New WR :hyper

So nobody wants to claim the FREE podium position then?

Can I enter twice? :lol

It's probably too hot for people to play. I haven't turned my PS3 on for a good few days now so maybe others are the same?

It's never too hot. Aircon? Outside in the breeze? Easy money.

Aircon ftw :p

Prob never gets hotter than 30°C over them im guessing.

PS3's do a fantastic job of making a room into a fan forced oven in summer time. Believe me i know.

Because Yeldar asked so nicely, and I want to add to my collection of Silvers.
