The Speed Lap Challenge

[yeldar2097]

Or at the start?

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

1st BR at the start (nose up trick - very hard to stop yourself from slamming into a wall though, that's what happened to me, so my time could be faster.)

2nd BR at the boost spot.

3rd BR after the turning section.

Best I've gotten is 19.32 so far. Got that early this morning, then raced on the same track for another 2 hours but never beat it. Did this with 2 BR's, hit 7 speedpads.

The top time is 18.39... how the hell I'll ever shave another second off of that time beats me.

1st BR at the start

I'm not totally convinced that this Br is faster at phantom speed than a normal boost with good line

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Hmm, I'll look into that Leungbok, I think you may be right

[leungbok]

I'm not totally sure mate ^^, but when i compare with my ghost it looks like a big amount of risk for few benefit



18.86 attempt with fury ship, 2 BR, 7 sp.wohd_20100209_234542.jpg

19.23 8sp 3br fury

It's insulting... I can do the double BR under the wing with relative consistency, but I can't do the BR right after the start/finish line -_-

This may be my best effort this week, I have a few BIG assignments I've put off until the last minute D:

[SaturnReturn]

Who wants to explain to me (in words, not video) how to do the double BR under the wing? I haven't been able to figure it out at all. Think I only ever did it once.

[brainbeat]

the best tip is to boost as early as you can, from the right hand side of track, so keep to rhs after first ss, i get it 50/50 if i dont respawn, if you boost late you miss the hump, its also poss to get 2xbr over the wing when you boost really early,

[TearsToShreds]

Edit:

19.11 now, with the Fury ship.

2 br's, 7 speedpads.

[AG-wolf]

@Saturn;
assuming you already know how to do the shortcut and 1 BR under the wing;

launch with the boost like normal
BR in mid-air
land on the track as soon as possible after passing under the wing
the boost you receive when landing will pull you high enough off the track that you can BR again
and then you land right at the base of the hill which climbs up into the first weird circle turn.


EDIT: see attached pic... I've been getting a lot of that.

[SaturnReturn]

ahem, why would anyone assumed such a thing.

I can do the normal shortcut reasonably OK sometimes, but I respawn more often than not. Will try brainbeat's suggestion about boosting early and see if that helps. I usually boost almost at the edge of the track, so that could be where I mess up.

Thanks guys.

Mine and Saturn's copy must be different to everyone else's. I always respawn going under the wing. It looks like I'm boosting where you are meant to but I still miss it. 19.3x - 2Br - FURY for me at the moment.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I can't do the double BR under the wing either. I'm the same as KGB - I always respawn whenever I attempt it. Kudos for being able to do it consistently AG-wolf

[phaeton_pl]

19.00 here, 2 BR's, 6 pads, Fury


@ Saturn

To do double BR under the wing you have to stay as close to the track as you can. After using boost don't go straight line but keep turning left just like the track goes, land as soon as you can (before speed pad).


@ BR at the start

It's really hard to get advanatage from this BR, i think it's the same with Leungbok's last straight BR. If you can't get under 18.80 without those BR's there's no point of trying them. Taking right handers after boosting and list chicane is most importantant if you ask me.

EDIT:
18.89 3 BR's 6 pads Fury ship

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Managed an 18.91, 2BR's, 6SP's. Don't know how I did it.

EDIT: Taking my top spot away so soon phaeton?

[brainbeat]

18.79 3 brs

[leungbok]

Ouch, nice phaeton and dark-phantom
It smells bad for my time on this challenge


What was i saying ! gg brainbeat

[TearsToShreds]

The BR's you are all talking about, are they like the first 2 BR's in this vid?
