I will never understand why pilots that are so skilled don't fight for a Phantom record but for a Venom one.
As I said, you are skilled, a lot more that I am ... and your videos are truly impressive ... just WipEout is a racing game mates, not an acrobatic show.
Actually, there should be a "Freestyle" mode in the game where pilots could earn points doing crazy things!

EDIT : I remember Yeldar saying that it would be harder to set a new WR after the patch yes. I didn't install it yet, but I'm far for competing for a WR ... I used to fight for a top 100!
