The Speed Lap Challenge

[KGB]

Just for my peace of mind, where are you getting the BR's?

I'm doing them over the first corner, off the first hill, off the second hump and then boost and BR down the hill. Trouble is I'm finding the one off the second hump really hard to do. Is this where everyone else is doing them and if so how do I the hump one all the time.

27.85 - 4 BR - 9 pads - FURY

I haven't beaten my PB yet so I'll have another crack at it this evening.

I'm doing the same BR's as you KGB. I can do 6 BR's, but I think that 2 of them actually slow me down.

Same BRs as me

There is one lip BR that is advantageous but it's a pain in the arse and will give max .1s i think...there's probably more than just that one but I can't really be arsed with lip BRs, too difficult to get into a nice lap.

[amplificated]

I currently have 27.59, 4 br's, 9 sp's

I have the same br's as kgb in that attempt, but I tried to go for the lip br and failed

Right after the lip br on the left, you can use the speed to help you just clip another lip on the right for another br, which would also help a bit.

The damn br's though are almost as bad as Amphiseum's! I could only get the one at the bottom of the tunnel a few times, and I also kept stuffing up the one at the start.

Eric, are you drawing with that hand?

[AG-wolf]

no, thankfully lol but I use it just as much as my right anyway for other stuff, so it still sucks :/

I frequently mess up the one at the start too and have only succeeded at the "right lip" BR rarely.

I did an attempt with assegai fury
27.45 4 BRs (same as Kgb and Yeldar), 10 spwohd_20100112_171301.jpg

[KGB]

Proving very difficult this week. I managed to get to within .07 of my time with 3 BRs. If I could do this one at the bottom of the hill with a lot more regularity then I'm sure I could get at least .3 off my time.

[Mietepiet]

I never really raced the fury tracks before, but now I'm gonna like them more and more. These corners are so hard to learn and you can win/lose a lot.

so far: 27.87 - 9pads - 4br

@kgb: try it on venom, that worked big time for me

[kaori]

28.56 for me 11 pads, 3 brs.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Look at the time difference between KGB, brainbeat and Mietepiet - very close this week.

28.66, 4BR's, Fury Assegai

[brainbeat]

new time 27.49 9 speedpads 4 brs

[KGB]

After about 100 laps since I got my personal best I finally managed to beat my time by....... wait for it.... wait for it...... 00.01! New time is now 27.84. Brilliant .

[brainbeat]

lol I was like that myself, but figured out i was losing time on my boostbr, i managed to shave .30 just here. ss on speedpad and dont boost straight away like i was but a bit later and keep it tight to the right, aim at metal girder thats on lip.
By the time you get there you slot neatly on track.

Lol, it's an improvement nonetheless

[Mietepiet]

I've improved to 27:80, which is very close to my limit I think.

But I'll check brainbeat's boost method tomorrow

[KGB]

I've been boosting as soon as i hit the right hand side sp and doing what you do brainbeat - keeping it tight to the right. It's still the BR at the bottom of the hill that is messing up any chance of a good lap time. Every time I am ahead of my ghost by a decent margin I fail, when I'm behind it, I do it! obviously .

[brainbeat]

i think the best advice is to not let go off pitch untill you have landed br, i find i hold down on dpad, while doing a br, Im pretty decent at sf2 lol

[Mietepiet]

I tested brainbeat's method@ boostpoint, equalled 27.80 with it, but I think landing on the sp is faster, also gives u a natural angle into the left-hander.

For that br over the little bumb. I get my angle right while in air (sp 2 left sp) and only start pitching up on the 1st sp.

edit: 27.72 - 10pads - 4br - fury
