    Hey AG-wolf, sorry I'm at work atm, so can't watch your vids, but I know for a fact you're really fast on the previous wo anyway. To be honest, and speaking for myself, it's just crazy insane practice, day after day, since hd release date. Can't have a look at my stats right now but I'm probably around 8000/9000 laps on anulpha pass forward so yes, I can get consistently laps around 20.30/20.20. But don't get me wrong, I'm still falling of the bridge/boosting off track/eating walls/failing brs tons of time too. Seriously I think it's a crazy addiction now, every day I need my speed lap fix. Tekken 6 is covered with dust, I'm playing 1 or 2 quarters with MJ on 2k10 then turning off the game, or playing 30mn/1h max of mw2... Then I'm returning to wo hd... So definitely not wipeout god lol, more a crazy insane guy intoxicated by a videogame... but thank you for the compliment anyway lol. My mates are more balanced than me as far as I know, Yeldar is playing Ninja Gaiden or other games, Wotan is a burnout fan... So yes my best times are only due to practice, practice, practice... and certainly not instinctive talent. I remember one day, FBJ was talking about a buddhist thought, roughly saying if you're doing something 10 000 times you will be able to do it perfectly.

    improved to: 20.37 - 13pads - 5br

    I think I found a way to get Yeldar sub 20:
    3br of the lap @ arrowhead
    - left SS out of the narrow section
    - right SS on speedpad
    - just b4 the apex you can get enough air with a good tap on the left airbrake

    it saved me aprox 0.05 secs

    20.11, 15 sp, 5 brs, hd. reaching my physical limits there, not sure i'll try to lower that time, it's becoming too mental. i'm appreciating even more your time now yeldar, you're definitely a #$%"& bot. btw ag-wolf, had a look at my stats, i was wrong, i've "only" around 6800 laps on that track lol.

    @mietepiet: Yeah the 3rd (or 4th ) BR is quite easy even without sideshift but for some reason I am much faster with the SS method... I think the easiest way for me to get sub would be more BRs () or a better BR onto the overpass. If you do it right you can save at least .10s but during my 20.01 I did it the same as in my previous An00bpha video which is 'way' slower. Great time kanar...sub 20.00 for you as well? Let's go together!

    Think I'm on 20.39 - 5br - 13sp - HD. How's everyone taking the first bend. Do you hit 2 or 3 pads

    I hit 2 on my lap, stuck to the inside like glue. That's just because I'm used to it though. On occasion I did laps with both 1 and 3 pads and they were all pretty much the same.

    Also Mietepiet I think you're right on that one now that I think about it, I'm just not very good at doing it 'well' without a SS...if that makes sense?

    Quick run, 48 laps: 20.26 - 5BR - 12SP

    This time was actually my first lap where I hit all 5 BRs, I was just waiting until I made all five and then I quit. I could probably improve this a little bit.

    Small improvement from me - up to 20.45 now, 5BR's. I can see a 20.3x being possible for me, but I think that will be my limit.
