The Time Trial Challenge

1.33.55 - 8BR - 39SP - FURY. I must be doing this wrong as most of the top times are hitting 7 or 8 more SP than me????

Where are you boosting? I had a massive Metropia reverse session a few days ago and feel like I can offer some advice ;)

The fastest method seems to be boosting down the hill towards the end of the track. Boosting over the "cage" at the bottom of this hill can be faster depending on how you land.

Posting a video would have been so much better but I hope the following turns out understandable: :dizzy

The very first speed pad on the track doesn't seem to be beneficial as it's kind of off the racing line, I find almost no difference between using it or maintaining a tighter line on the left side of the track. SS and hit the apex of the first left hander, take the 3 speed pads of course, as you approach the right hand turn, SS into the air over the wall. Where and how you land after this SS is crucial to set up your line for the next left hander going into the mag strip. I'm thinking a common place people lose time is when they vere off to the right instead of staying tight along the left wall (another SS here helps maintain this line). Take 2 speed pads as you enter the mag and then the other 2 over the rise on the left side. I to like to maintain a straight racing line as I exit the mag after the previous 2 speed pads. This means taking the single speed pad instead of the 2 upon exiting the mag (once again I find almost difference in time here!). After the next two turns hit the speed pad and boost down the hill, try boosting over the cage and see if it's faster for you as opposed to just boosting down the hill (seems like you can gain a few milliseconds).

That's exactly how I've been doing it! So I don't know how I've missed them.

poor time, but wanna let ya know:

1.36.35 45 SPs 8 BRs Piranha Fury

1.34.57 - 44pads - fury

1.33.18 8BR's 41 pads

I improved a millibit, LOOOOL

new time: 1.36.34 43 SPs 8 BRs

1.33.72, fury ship

1.32.94 - 8BR - 39SP - Fury. Missed the last SP :brickwall so It could of been a little bit faster. Still missing these extra pads.

last attempt: 1.36.20 43 SPs 8 BRs

1.31.87 - 44

Please see the Speed Lap Challenge thread for this weeks criteria.

1st short session: 1.49.81 63 SPs 12 BRs Fury

improved today: 1.48.78 66 SPs 14 BRs Fury

This TT is pain for me since i'm not consistent with the 4th and 5th (bridge) BRs.

1.45.85 - HD - 67SP... and probably around 19-21 BRs (out of a possible 25).

That's why tt pwns all :g

last lap pressure ftw as well

Well I did have a time but I'm too scared to play HD because of the whole PSN fiasco :paperbag

I was about to have a go but now I'm running WOHD in Demo Mode :rock

I got a 1.46.91 - HD. Think I was chasing Wellington's ghost as I downloaded it months ago. I did a better job of keeping up with it this time than the last time I tried.

Please see the Speed Lap Challenge for this week's criteria.
