It only changed the handling. When you turn, the ship will lose more speed, decreasing your turning radius and thus, the chances to take the turn cleanly increases.

Awesome info - thanks for clarifying. I'm playing the retail copy without dedicated internet connection so I'm not sure if it tells you to patch. Do you know if it what version the disc is? Maybe moving from zone 63->75 will be a little easier than I had hoped.

So far I've noticed:
Speed Pads = 100pts
Barrel Rolls = 1000pts
Perfect Zones = 1000pts
Perfect Laps = 2000pts

Perfect Zones heal your ship ?10%?, but nothing else does.
Barrel Rolls take the standard 15% off meaning you can only average one attempted BR every 15 seconds (if you want to think of it like that).
But I can't put my finger on how many points you get at every moment of play. It doesn't seem to increase with speed. I could figure it out manually if I count BRs I suppose... assuming it's constant. Any ideas?

On the regular Anulpha Pass, there's a really cheap design flaw that screws me up. When the track splits near the end and you can take the high road with all the speed pads, there's a large light fixture hanging down at the end of the high road that you can crash into and fall off the track through no fault of your own if you have too much speed. Screw that. I've also crashed into the overhead signs at the beginning of the high road because I had too much airtime coming off of the main track. Dislike.

Does this still happen if you nose down the whole fall? Or if you miss the last speed boost on the high road? I mean it will always happen at high enough speeds (and you'll be forced to fall onto low road), but if it's just starting to happen at the zones you're talking about then maybe nosing down would prevent it.
