The Speed Lap Challenge

[Rezatron]

Welcome! But why no BRs? Do one after the loop. Also, are you boosting right before the start of a new lap? You'll get into the 30s easily if you do those two things.

i dont know they wernt in pulse and i havnt messed with them to much in hd as i got it 2 days ago ..but i do use the boost pads at the begining..ill start mesing with em

[blackwiggle]

No he means a Boost BR start.
You do a lap but don't use your boost, then as you approach the line for the second lap you, nose up > Boost > do a barrel roll while in the air.
If you time it right, it puts you at boost speed in mid air while picking up another boost when it resets for crossing the line, then as you land you get the further boost from doing the barrel roll.
Depending on track, if you happen to land on a speed pad when landing you get yet another boost.

I swear the boostBR on Talon's is impossible...

Pesky BR masters and their impossible BRs

that's best I can do. Now on to time trial.

[amplificated]

29.68 /w the fury Auricom, 2 br's

not the best lap, I banged into a wall, went very wide on a corner and missed a good speed pad, not necessarily in that order... but the rest was alright

Will try to have another shot later

[triboy]

I improved my time, there was hidden extra sp

29.61 / 1 br / 13 sp / Auri f

[Dark_Phantom_89]

No doubt from me - I'm just in awe of that time

[brainbeat]

Nice work, so then any tips

[Woopzilla]

It can go quite a bit lower since I missed a few pads (though, I don't know if I've got the skill to pull off a perfect lap like that without trying for 500 laps worth ).

It's all about squeezing in 2 double BRs. One while climbing up hill and managing to take the corner sharply, then another double BR just before you head downwards.

BR breakdown: BoostBR into lap... BR over 1st hill, hit the pad and another BR while turning left. Now comes the 1st double BR before the sharp right hand corner leading to the downhill area. As you round the corner, nose up again and BR, you'll instantly have enough air for another BR. Into the tunnel, nose up at the pad leading around the corner and BR. Now boost BR over usual shortcut (maybe you can land this boost early to squeeze another BR at the little drop down at the end?).

I'll try to maybe improve my time while recording tomorrow.
