The Speed Lap Challenge

[leungbok]

Oh nice !
Was bsb really advantageous on vineta k reverse ?

[XBARNSTERX]

Not really but bsbsb was

[Dark_Phantom_89]

34.48, 1 BR, 10SP's for me so far. Will see if it changes over the week

EDIT: 34.14 now

[amplificated]

Do you mean at the start mate?

Indeed I do

It just seems almost random whether or not it allows me to gain height... I don't have the right timing for it or something.

[phaeton_pl]

I just got a quick session: 10 x speed lap, 2 x time trial

SL: 33.52 10SP's, 2BR's

TT: 1.46.80 30SP's, 3BR's

both with Fury Goteki.

Boost BR is advantageous here but must be perfectly timed. Works well on all speed classes

EDIT: 3 BR's in TT, 1 per lap, sorry

[KGB]

Not tried TT yet, I thought it started next week.

My time is rubbish at the moment, can't remember what it is. Where are you getting 6 BRs at phaeton_pl? On SL I can get one at the loop and if I'm lucky one at the start line, but I must be missing something yet again if you can get 6 in TT.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

TT starts next week, you are correct KGB.

I'm also interested in the 2BR's. I can't even attempt the one at the start - it just looks impossible to me. Is there a possible 3rd BR?

[yeldar2097]

Depends on your boost location

Actually phaeton is a bit of a BR fiend so maybe he's found a sneaky one somewhere

[Mietepiet]

My time so far is an 34.69 - 10pads - 1br - goteki+

I can also use a little help on that 2nd br, been trying that br leungbok does in his phantom sl video, but that one looks impossible for me on this class

[yeldar2097]

Wanna vid?

[Mietepiet]

You know I like vid's, don't ya?
And I know you like to record one, soo.. .yes please!

[yeldar2097]

33.04 - 10 Pads - 2BRs - G45+

Things to do differently (apart improving lines because that's always possible):
Boost slightly earlier and pitch up so that you 'skip' more of the mag loop.
Left Sideshift on the last pad (my fingers got in a muddle )

[KGB]

Depends on your boost location

Hmmm? When I was trying various places to boost I thought that you may be able to use it just before the left-hander before the loop - missing a bit of the corner - BR - landing and using the speed to BR again into the loop, Obviously didn't do it, but it's the thought that counts isn't it.

I think I'm a second down on this which is hard to take as it's only on venom. I've often wondered why I was about 5 seconds down on the phantom times, it's all becoming very clear that I wouldn't know a decent line if it was painted on the track, or if the first thought to cross my mind is true, you're all cheating.

[yeldar2097]

Link now up in previous post.

Haha, that's exactly the boost method I tried to do yesterday KGB (I failed but it's defs there somewhere)
Great minds eh?

If anyone can ID the song in my video I'll give you a cookie, I'm desperate to know what it is

[leungbok]

Kgb and Yeldar, i tried too to boost before the loop (in the chicane) and even with a little shortcut+a BR using the boost + a 2nd BR hiting the pad and landing on the loop it seems slower than a simple boost/BR in the loop
Maybe a BR at the end could be advantageous, but not easy at venom speed !
Nice vid as usual Yeldar

[phaeton_pl]

Sorry for a mistake, i only did 3 BR's in my TT

I use the same method as you guys. In a loop I boost a bit later with nose up. Boost after the loop isn't advantageous as you loose too much time in the loop.

Hey, is it venom speed class? Video says flash...

[yeldar2097]

Sorry, my mistake...will change it. Thanks for pointing it out phaeton

[Rezatron]

My first lap with a boost BR I got 33.37 (10SP - 2BR - Goteki+). Only did 12 laps this time round. Gonna have a proper (marathon?) session later this week and won't stop playing until I kiss the apex out of the boost BR on the first corner.

[amplificated]

Saw your post and realised I had to beat your time, Rezatron...

64 laps, only managed about 6 boost-BR's on the start line, 3 which went into the wall and the other 2 I somehow stuffed up by not BR'ing going into the loop (which never happened except for those 2 attempts), and every time I said I was going to give it a rest after this lap, I managed to do a damn boost-BR at the start line that made me keep going. And then I finally sort-of nailed the last one

33.16, 10 pads, 2 BR's, fury goteki

Could improve a little bit, but I think, unless you beat this time, I'm going to give it a rest for a bit

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Nice work amplificated, very impressive time
