The fact that I remember seeing this and forgot to even be generous to offer a challenge shows how blind I was (considering I was racing Colonel, of course).

Oh, I forgot. I'll choose between Ikaras F and Harimau F. When we fly? Maybe this weekend?

Edit: True, we stick by the rules of the Cup. My bad. So I'll fly in Ikaras F. Saturday? I'll send You message on psn when I'll be online.

[TwitchySpitfire]

In the spirit of the rules, make sure to pick one craft and stick with it. I'll give you the benefit of deciding when you want to race and you can practice if you need to.

Colonel__Gaddafi Vs Triboy results and report:

Colonel__Gaddafi choices:

Race 1 - Eliminator - Venom @ The Amphiseum: 200 limit. I was hosting and I cocked up the settings, this was supposed to be on rapier. That threw me to be honest and I was a bit distracted, but no excuses, Triboy was lethal with just about everything he picked up. I pulled it back a bit in the middle but he nailed me towards the end. First eliminator I've lost in one of these events
Triboy wins

Race 2 - Zone Battle @ Anulpha Pass: 50 limit. A pretty tightly fought battle but I played really well, managed to avoid every barrier and went on to clinch it.
Colonel__Gaddafi wins

Race 3 - Single race @ Vineta K, Rapier: Weapons on. Quite why I chose any single races is beyond me, but variety's the spice of life I suppose. I knew I was in for a pasting because I'd had a look at Triboy's times for Vineta K, he's something like 5th Worldwide on Rapier. He crushed me.
Triboy wins


Triboy choices

Race 4 - Single race @ Sebenco Climb, Phantom: Weapons on. This was a nightmare, I simply can't handle a track as technical as S.C at these speeds. I actually set a personal best but finished light years behind.
Triboy wins

Race 5 - Single Race @ Ubermall Reverse, phantom: Weapons on. Absolute disaster. I'd hoped I'd be a bit more competitive at Uber as it's a track I like. But nerves got the better of me and I ended up boosting off the track and re-spawing. Triboy could have made dinner in the time he had spare.
Triboy wins

Race 6 - Zone Battle @ Tech De Ra: 50 limit. I was fairly confident after the Anulpha Pass Z.B and managed to keep my composure, 50's a bloody high limit for TDR but I got there eventually.
Colonel__Gaddafi wins

Race 7 - Zone Battle @ Syncopia: 50 limit. I screwed this one up to be honest, gambled too much with barrel rolls off the bridge then hit a couple of barriers, needing to shield just to stay alive.
Triboy wins

Final result - Colonel__Gaddafi (Fury AG-Systems) 2 - 5 Triboy (Fury Icaras)

A great set of races and Triboy was a proper gentleman, he even offered to redo the eliminator and change his phantom races to rapier.

Thanks dude, see you next time.

[Challenger #001]

Got a race in against hacenetchik! Damn, but I've never seen an Assegai throw out so much Cambodia on its' own. XD I dunno whether to be frustrated that I didn't get a straight race with such a great pilot or smug that I had to be held at arm's length. I'll settle for being happy to play with such a good sportsman, and look forward to the 2v2 match.

Qirex +2
Assegai +5

[yeldar2097]

If anyone is up for a 1v1 tonight feel free to PSN me and we'll discuss (then I'll edit this post pretending I did it properly).

[Challenger #001]

Got my match in against triboy. What a sportsman and what races! I know it looks like a typical washout but I was fairly close for the majority of the races, only a bomb, missile or single barrier putting me out of contention. I went into Syncopia way too cocky and brought down a notch that was for sure, but the first two especially had my heart in my mouth. :3 Excellent racing my man - Chelsea and Sascha were right on each other all the way.

Amphiseum: I got an early lead and with the help of a pair of boosts, powered ahead of triboy to begin with. It was neck and neck until lap three, where he got past with the help of some rockets and I took a lead back with a quake. It went straight down to the line... triboy won by .02 of a second. He later said he had 1hp left after the shortcut. XD

Modesto Heights: This one was mine for a long while until the Icaras got a good blast over me and laid down some mines and a bomb for good measure. I simply couldn't catch up after that. Win for triboy.

Tech De Ra: A familiar story - I was ahead for the first part of the race, and was hit with a missile around lap 5. This dropped me back 4 seconds and I simply couldn't claw back the time. Win for triboy.

Sebenco Climb: I was always going to be nervous about this one. If there's one thing everyone knows about me it's that my lines are dreadful, and on a 10-lap, no weapons Sebenco this was going to be a problem. Around lap 5 triboy left me for dead and was 7 seconds up the road by the time I caught up to him.

Sol 2: I've never been able to grasp Sol 2 above zone 40 really. I just can't stay away from the walls and this was no exception. As soon as I got to the critical stages I was hammering against the walls and just couldn't do anything about it. Ended with the zones at 50-47.8 to triboy.

Anulpha Pass: I got the early lead, a pair of perfect laps made this fairly easy for me... that is, compared to the previous rounds. XD Win for me.

Syncopia: I came here bubbling off my Anulpha win and kind of hoping to repeat it. Unfortunately, karma came back to bite me in the proverbial as I hit a barrier at zone 48, dropped me down and left triboy able to boost up to 50. D:


That said though, triboy you are an excellent fellow and I really reccoment anyone to race against him. Wipers don't come much better. ;3

[triboy]

On Amphi I almost get heart attack... 17hp, turbo in pocket, 001 on #1, last lap. Damn damn damn, what to do? what to do? There was no blood in my vains, only adrenaline. Argh... Now or never! Turbo>br>shortcut=2hp AND THEN SCRATCH!!! NOOOOO... Happily took only 1hp.... <Tri You lucky bas.tard> At finish line, and even after race dual shock was still shaking in my hands... I'm too old for this.... Nurse...

And all others looks just like You said, neck and neck. I just got more luck with missiles/mines/bombs. It was like "Who first draw a gun". We must try fly whitout weapons
