I dunno, seems like it could be exploited on Metropark too if you went far enough back in the tunnel. The difference is magnified for speed laps too, although I also noticed that the first lap time was considerably less than the Beat Zico 2048 and the first lap was pretty decent. It might also be used to land that first roll on Queen's Mall, but at the same time, any ship could do it by reversing enough to go up the hill.

Actually, how that I think about it, ANY ship could do this on any track that has a roll point just prior to the start line. Obviously not to the same extent as the prototype, but still.

To me it kind of feels like the 2048 equivalent of BSB in HD. Which, by the way, what is the general sentiment on that for HD? Is that still a legit thing to do for a speed lap run on say, Vineta K? I haven't even tried it yet to know if it is possible, but based on some of the lap times for records, it looks like pilots are using it.

And to clarify *I personally don't see anything wrong with BSB, because any ship can use it, and it takes a lot of skill to pull off anyway*
