1. SL challenge is going strong, keep it as it is please :)
2. Boost BR start gives real advantage on 5-6 tracks maybe. Even if you can't do it don't worry, you still have plenty tracks to race and fight for #1 :D
Back on topic :)
3. My best time so far is 35.06 :brickwall... Where do you guys use boost? Any vids?
I used the same method as this old vid on the 2nd lap, with an extra BR while bouncing after the boost !

I like keeping SL separate, but if there was another thread I wouldn't really like single races (offline or online) included... but maybe any of the other offline modes like TT, Zone, and Detonator could be good. Definitely not Zone Battle though.
Wouldn't even have to be a "challenge", just a thread that exists to motivate people to try something different and make a personal challenge to anyone else posting scores perhaps?
edit:
Just managed to get a quick session in: 34.47, 4 br's, 11 sp's
I'm boosting above the magstrip and landing on the side to get an extra BR so my time could easily be broken, could potentially get 6 br's, but I'll probably have to have a shot with the Icaras...
ok..
my suggestion to Dark phantom was....
every sunday in this Speed lap thread when Dark phantom announces the new track, speed class and ship
we can submit times for
Speed lap
Time trial
Single race
Mulitplayer race
We can submit for one mode or for multiple modes or for all modes all we have to do is stick to the track..speed and ship that is decided on sunday.
I personally see no problem with this.the speed track purists who are not interested need not submit times for other modes if they cannot be bothered so they lose nothing.
it does however give other players oppurtunities to submit times for modes they never could now.
Hopefully it will draw new players in and give them something to aim for and practice their gameplay in an area of their choice..
I personally would not probally do MP mode as i dont play online to much but i would still welcome other to do so.
let try it out and see how it goes..
maybe some of you players could tell your friends and invite them to play..
its not about being better than every one else its more about being better than you have ever been..
I have little chance of ever beating players like qjon leungbok yeldar amplicated saturn DP and all those other greats but i dont care the fact i can alway beat my previous is all i need to motivat me.. im sure when ive got 600 hrs playtime i will be able to compete with the elites..
having individual threads for each mode is what killed it off.i cant be asked posting in every thread so like challenger suggested we should try just using one.
All we have to do is write our other mode times in this thread ..thats if we want to.just remember its not about winning always it the fun that counts..
remember this wont effect l challenge it just give an opurtunity for other modes too.
ok enough with the waffle ..hope you all want to try it out..:)

@amplificated Thanks for the kind words mate!! Yeah as long as I can find some time to play in the week I'll definitely continue to post my times! I'm really enjoying the sl challenge, in fact I only learned how to boost br from last week's talon's junction so I already have a lot to thank this thread for! Thanks for the offer of help too! :D
btw I know my time sucks but I can do the first br consistently, in case it helps anyone, I do it by aiming to fly into the right wall,then nose up over the bump on the left and hold left airbrake while doing the roll…

Another week has come to a close. Congratulations to QjonPL for his victory this week and a big thanks to all who participated. I hope that this challenge is helping you to improve your skills.

whats best way to do this track so i can do it in a decent time
Boost start (from nearly standing still, otherwise you'll hit the tunnel), BR, good lines, then boost uphill, double BR, continue good lines. You can do a fourth BR near the end but it's hard. xD
