The Speed Lap Challenge

[amplificated]

If I boost-br at the start on this track, it always makes me overshoot the boost anyway. I hate this track so much in SL!

[Challenger #001]

Speed Lap > Vineta K Forward > Rapier > Goteki 45 HD

00.22.36, 9 Speed Pads, 3 Barrel Rolls

How can you get six? Five I can possibly see, but not six. o.0

[amplificated]

there's at least 8 without using bsb

boost-br into the lap, boost-br at the first pad, hit the peak of the slope for another, br at the cut in the tunnel, br from raised track to the left of the straight before the next tunnel, br down the next cut, br off the lower hill's plateau, which can net you enough speed/air to get another one.

I haven't done this track in a while on rapier so I may be a little off

[KGB]

Not sure you can get the one going into the tunnel at the end on this speed.

I found what I think is the perfect example. Maybe the best video I've seen of someone playing the game as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r8e9...eature=related. Though I'm loath to say it

Good video

I don't know for sure about the G45, but that br definitely can be done with the Furymau and Icaras on rapier.

Lol KGB, I love you too
Can't believe I put that song over my vid, comedy gold!


Anyway....

20.08 - 10 Pads - 6BRs - Fury

FYI the barrel roll into the 2nd tunnel does work with G45. Haven't got it nailed yet, can do it maybe 1 in 10 tries.

Good luck everybody.

21.65 8sp 3BR fury

[Challenger #001]

Speed Lap > Tech De Ra Reverse > Phantom > Qirex Fury

00.22.61, 7 Speed Pads, 2 Barrel Rolls

In other news, does anyone else think that the Fury Qirex is the best improvement over its' HD counterpart?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I managed 21.50, 8 SP's, 3BR's, Fury Qirex.

With regards to Challenger's question - I tried this challenge with both the HD and Fury version of Qirex, and I found that I was much more consistent with the Fury version. It feels more stable and a better all-rounder than its HD counterpart. I was having trouble doing the speed boost into the lap with HD (kept scraping the wall,) but it worked like a charm with Fury.

[yeldar2097]

Struggling this week....

21.47 - 7 Pads - 2BRs - HD Qirex


I must the exception that proves the rule then. As far as stats are concerned I agree the Fury Qirex is much improved over the HD version but MY GOD it's and absolut dog around the track: Can't BR with it, can't stay in a straight line, keep marrying walls. I find it really twitchy and hard to control, kinda the opposite of you guys. The only upgrade that is more of a catasrophic fail is EG-X Fury.

Each to his own I guess, I reckon I'm just weird

P.S. Do the TT challenge this week someone pleeeeeease ^_^

[Challenger #001]

... Fury Qirex ...Can't BR with it

In Soviet Russia, ship rolls YOU!

Yes, this entire Qirex suggestion was in the hope of getting one of those out. :3

...Fury Qirex ...I find it really twitchy and hard to control...

...I reckon I'm just weird

I agree. Feels twitchy to me too. It feels similar to HD Assegai, which is kind of squirmy. Might depend largely on airbrake settings. But you're still weird.

[OBH]

I find Quirex+ feels like its constantly drifting.

Was fun on sol2, but tracks like vk its painful.

[yeldar2097]

1. QIREX!!
2. It's horrid on every track
3. Don't post here unless you're posting a time.
4.

[KGB]

Where is this third BR that some of you are taking, is it off a lip or a Boost/BR? I tried boosting down the hill to see if it was faster than using it up the hill but I can't beat my time doing it that way. Coming off a lip and doing a BR is losing me time as well.

21.83 - 2 BR - ?pads - Fury

[yeldar2097]

Depends on which method you use. Oh wait, it doesn't...

1. BoostBR from the open section into the tunnel.
2. Off the first crest going up the hill
3. 2nd crest going into the long bend.
4. Final chicane

1. SS-BR on the open section going into the tunnel.
2. BoostBR off the first crest
3. 2nd crest going into long bend
4. Final chicane

There are a couple of lip BRs in there but I'm not convinced that they're of much use.

Getting back into the game after a housemate thought it would be hilarious to format my hard disc. D< Thank god for the full game download.

Yeldar, could you post a video showing how you get the first and fourth brs in your post? I can't seem to make them work.
