Great time and nice pic Rezatron!

[Mietepiet]

Whow, amazing times being post atm

I just managed a 22.95. just giving the heat back to DP89.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Not again Mietepiet - I can never beat you! Nice time though

[amplificated]

Last minute attempt yielded 22.25. 2 BR's, 11 speed pads, HD Triakis.

I was getting pretty annoyed, my previous time (22.46) was something I was really unhappy with, and I beat my ghost consistently for a full 99 lap session until the last corner with the BR. Didn't take me long after that to finally beat it, and get something I can look forward to beating with a ship I like now

Didn't realise it, but I finally won our rivalry this week, with a 22.93! Still, doesn't change the fact that you've beat me every other week Mietepiet

Nice work amplificated!

Some fantastic Speed Lapping this week guys, particularly as the challenge proved to be rather difficult this week - well done to all who competed, and a particular congratulations to Rezatron's joint world record time All times from this week will be added to the Hall of Fame.

This week's criteria are as follows: SPEED LAP/TALON'S JUNCTION (REVERSE)/VENOM/GOTEKI 45

The Time Trial Challenge will begin next week, but I would like to get some opinions from you guys - would you like the criteria for Time Trials to be the same as the Speed Lap week or different?

[yeldar2097]

Same criteria and mandatory participation in the SL challenge (as mentioned in earlier posts)
Can we start now? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? (eager beaver over here)

Gonna have a crack now, will edit this post with time

[Mietepiet]

Great work DP89, and all others

[brainbeat]

great work everyone,
I have just done 50 laps the best i time i got was

0.34.00 10 Speedlaps 1 BR Goteki fury

[KGB]

You should keep the TT the same speed, track and ship as the SL. It would be too complicated any other way. I also agree on the SL being obligatory to enter the TT side of things. Can we hope for a Phantom one at some point. It's where my heart lies.

[Rezatron]

great work everyone,

0.34.00 10 Speedlaps 1 BR Goteki fury

Early run, only 13 laps : 33.99 - 10 pads - 1BR - Goteki+

I'm convinced i'm missing something on this track... does everyone boost at the loop?

[yeldar2097]

Yes, I boost at the loop, checking out a possible alternative though...
I got 33.3x I think... will have a check in a sec (teehee)

[Rezatron]

Yeah I think you can boost and BR towards the end of the lap (last turn), not sure if possible at this speed.

12 more laps: 23.95 - 10 pads - 1BR - Goteki+

Don't see room for much improvement here...

edit: nevermind, 33.69 now

[amplificated]

Just had a a 50 lap session and got 0.02 of a second behind both Rez and my Icaras time... I think I can improve on that, so we'll see how we go.

I don't think I've even used the Fury Goteki before this; at least it isn't like adjusting to the Triakis xD

//current time:
33.71, 10 speed pads, 1 BR, Fury Goteki

[XBARNSTERX]

was !

lol

Whats the current record now then mate?

I used hd icaras for mine, i believe it to be faster round this track for some reason.
I tried and tried in icaras+ and couldnt beat my pb, then found it surprisingly easier with the other ship

Rezatron hows 10 extra seconds better lol.

For the br at the start its best to pitch up down an up for the height, better than just down up IMO

@Rezatron...I meant the post you made for this weeks challenge sorry, you put 23 instead of 33 thats all lol. Sorry for the confusion.

33.30, 10pds, 2brs, goteki+

[Rezatron]

I just found that it's possible to do a BR from the turbo boost at the start of the race (i'm sure this is known to many). It's very difficult to pull off (at least for me) and when I get it I totally mess up the first corner...

Barnster: it's 21.62 (referring to Modesto Rapier SL)

[leungbok]

You must boost a little before the end/start line to take the first turn easier while BR-ing

[amplificated]

Do you guys have any tips on how to consistently do the boost-br? I can only do it, based on my attempt just now, about 1 in every 25 laps.

Somehow I got a new time in the same session; 33.66. Don't know how I got an ok boost at the start while failing to boost-BR...

[XBARNSTERX]

Do you mean at the start mate?

Leungbok mate i've just managed to beat yet another bsb time,
vineta k rev venom, and i missed a br too
