1.43.39 - 44 Pads - 12BRs - Fury

[Challenger #001]

This one is for the Modesto Heights one, that DD77 hasn't announced on this forum... hope it's still legal...

Time Trial > Modesto Heights Forward > Flash > AG-Systems Fury

01.55.07, 43 Speed Pads, 10 Barrel Rolls

[yeldar2097]

Eh? DD777? Eh?

You mean DP? ^_^

[Challenger #001]

Eh? DD777? Eh?

You mean DP? ^_^

Yes, that's it. I keep thinking of DarkDrium777, or someone like that. Excuse me.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Oops, looks like I forgot to post in this thread last week... :redface:

[KGB]

So did I, a bit late but for last week I got 1.45.76 - 11BRs - 47 pads - Fury

For this week, Ubermall venom Feisar I have 1.30.04 - 27 pads - 14 BRs - Fury

A strange one as the way I'm doing it I get quicker each lap because of my boost location

[yeldar2097]

1.26.58 - 28 Pads - 15BRs - Fury

New WR :hyper

[Rezatron]

:eek You beat my Icaras time with Feisar? All hope is lost I quit this game :g

Where did you use your boost on the last lap? I know you can do a double BR before the split (which is faster I think). I have trouble doing that and used it after the split before the drop.

[yeldar2097]

Same place as all the other laps ;)

I'm guessing I just used a different (faster perhaps?) technique to yours. I boost at the start of each lap :)

[Rezatron]

Hmm... just give that method a try and came out about 5/6 seconds slower but also doing just 4 BRs per lap.... can't be right. Are you boosting right after the line and doing a BR then hopping the wall and doing another BR?

[yeldar2097]

Indeed, as if it were the start of a Speed Lap...cept after the line instead of before :P

Mine's 5 per lap:

1. BoostBR
2. Mini-shortcut boost
3. Top of the hill
4. Top-ish of the hill
5. Out of the chicane immediately after the hill.

Can't get near my ghost any other way. What you doing method-wise?

[Rezatron]

I'm boosting right before the line (well, after the final rise when the track becomes level). You still get enough speed to hop the wall. This method makes the first lap slow but the last lap very fast since you have another boost to use. The problem I have with doing your method is when I boost after the line I carry way to much speed and have trouble hopping the wall! :bomb

lap1: 3BR (actually 4 if you do a right SS-BR off the first left speed pad).
lap2: 5BR (the standard 5 you're doing)
lap3: 7BR using the speed lap method (but I didn't do it that way in my 1.26.75 run since I suck at it).

I think this might be the fastest method if done correctly (16 BRs). Low 1.26.xx in Icaras for sure, maybe 1.25.xx for you ;)

[yeldar2097]

Hmm...just tried your method, must be doing something wrong as I maxed out at 1.28.04...

Update with my method: 1.26.21 - 27 Pads - 15BRs - Fury - WR ;)

[Challenger #001]

Time Trial > Vineta K Forward > Rapier > Goteki 45 HD

[yeldar2097]

Vineta K Rapier Time Trial:

1.24.43 - 40 Pads - 24BRs - Goteki 45 Fury

New WR :hyper

[yeldar2097]

So nobody wants to claim the FREE podium position then?

Can I enter twice? :lol

[SaturnReturn]

It's probably too hot for people to play. I haven't turned my PS3 on for a good few days now so maybe others are the same?

[yeldar2097]

It's never too hot. Aircon? Outside in the breeze? Easy money.

[KIGO1987]

Aircon ftw :p

Prob never gets hotter than 30°C over them im guessing.

PS3's do a fantastic job of making a room into a fan forced oven in summer time. Believe me i know.

[Challenger #001]

Because Yeldar asked so nicely, and I want to add to my collection of Silvers.

yeye, I'll do the SL challenge first ;)

EDIT: I can see you readin this thread Yeldar (i havent done the challenge yet :D) ... gah, ok - I'm on it :g

[yeldar2097]

I tried a new method and it seems a bit faster (at venom speed at least) hope it can helps :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQIXRehqXDU

[DreamyElf]

after 3 tries here is my time:
1.47.89 EG-X Fury 3 BR 37 SP

i could probably save a bit more time, maybe i'll try again some other time...

edit:interesting video leungbok! too bad it seems too hard for me to do it...
i didn't even know you can do a BR on TJ until i saw a video earlier this morning...:redface:

[brainbeat]

1.46.01 38 speedpads 3brs fury

so it's a good method then guess i'm gonna have to learn it then. I only nailed once out of a few attempts. Good vid m8

[yeldar2097]

1.42.88 - 38 Pads - 5BRs

[Aeroracer]

my time trial on talons juction forward on venom in egx..hd

was

147.28 with37 pads and 3 br

[DreamyElf]

here is my new TT for AP:

1.36.85 - 40 sp - 11 br - Piranha Fury

[LurifaxFlux]

Hmm... I wonder if I can really do the beat zico method 3 times in a row :lol
Will give it a shot :)

Edit: Piece of cake :g
1.34.19 - 15BRs - 41SPs - Piranha HD

Will try to improve later :)

Edit2: Finally!! I reached my goal of getting into top10 :D
1.33.63 - 15BRs - 43SPs - Piranha HD

I also managed to get a run with double BR onto overpass on the first lap, but the racing line wasn't the best.

[yeldar2097]

1.30.85 - 43 Pads - 15BRs

[LurifaxFlux]

Damn!! :bomb

GJ yeldar, that time is insane with only 15BRs xD

[kaori]

kaori | 1.35.41 | FURY

11 Barell Rolls 40 Speed Pads

[LurifaxFlux]

Having improved on AP/Venom, I'll give this another go :)

Edit: 1.32.58 - 16BRs - 40SPs - Piranha HD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8Jh64l7UIQ)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

This weeks challenge has come to a close - please see the Speed Lap Challenge thread for thisweeks criteria

[yeldar2097]

Hooray, bold bits ^_^

Anyway: 1.39.24 - Rapier - CPRev - Mirage (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Szmqz3erpPs)

[Woopzilla]

1.45.34 / 40 SP / Fail amount of BRs / HD :D

Huge huge room for improvement though, I missed like every BR, even during the shortcut boost... fail. :<

[LurifaxFlux]

1.43.05 - 7BRs - 34SPs - Mirage Fury

Hoping for 1.40.XX by the end of the week.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

So far I'm up to 1.43.29, 35SP's, 4BR's. Instead of sideshifting, I'm just going to pull the ships nose up to get the BR at the end, so expect an improved time from me soon.

[LurifaxFlux]

Current time: 1.42.22 - ??BRs - 39SPs - Fury

Don't think I'll go for 1.40.XX but hopefully 1.41.XX :)

[Rezatron]

New PB - 1.40.52 - 8BR - 40SP - Fury

That time was done using the normal method but I also tried using the fastest phantom method (SS over the shortcut and use boosts on the starting/ending straightaway instead) but couldn't get a consistent run after 5 or so attempts. That method is much harder as you need to ride the railing to get enough clearance to make it over the shortcut. Might be worth further investigation but I doubt it's faster at Rapier speed.

[LurifaxFlux]

New time: 1.41.94 - 6BRs - 37SPs - Fury (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jxcJlWLusI)

[leungbok]

1.41.54 - 8 BR (:redface:)- 37 sp - fury

[yeldar2097]

12BRs? :eek

Where did the extra BR/lap come from? I'm intrugued :)

[LurifaxFlux]

Either he has found a way to consistently do the BR over the small hump at the start of the long right, or he is doing the boost over start line method, however if he used the last mentioned method, it doesn't explain where the 12th BR came from x)

[leungbok]

damn ! my bad ! i counted 3 br per lap like on sl, so it's only 8, sorry :redface:

[yeldar2097]

Ah ok, I was about to say....

Although the BR in the tunnel is possible for people like you I guess. I think brainbeat uploaded a video of his TT where his did the BR a couple of times :)

[kaori]

damn ! my bad ! i counted 3 br per lap like on sl, so it's only 8, sorry :redface:

I thought you boosted just before startline, with that, 12 BRs should be possible

[yeldar2097]

Yes that is possible Kao :nod

I tested it just before my latest run but I found it to be about 0.4 - 0.5 slower over 4 laps :)

[LurifaxFlux]

New (and final) time :D
1.40.82 - 8BRs - 37SPs - Fury

[Dark_Phantom_89]

My final time was 1.42.49, 37SP's, 8BR's, Fury Ship

Please see the Speed Lap Challenge thread for this weeks criteria.

[Woopzilla]

1.41.34 / 50 SP / 10 BR / Fury

[yeldar2097]

1.39.46 - 40 Pads - 20 BRs - Fury (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-lakYwjWSo)

[AspenExcel]

Not really sure why I'm even posting after yeldar, but whatever.

1.40.97 - 52 SPs - 10 BRs - Fury.

Also post 100 yay!

[KGB]

I had a go at this before, the time was something like 1.42.xx. I was all over the shop with BRs. Two laps I got 3 and was set up for a 4th on both but out of shock I didn't even get them. One lap I got 1! I'll try again tomorrow.

10 BRs are not making a huge difference are they??

[LurifaxFlux]

No, the triple BR isn't really as fast as it would be in another area or track ;P

With single BR (2BRs total) in the speed lap, I am only .46 from the WR.

[LurifaxFlux]

1.42.62 ;_; - 53SPs - 11?BRs - Fury

[Dark_Phantom_89]

1.41.49 with the Feisar ship. Can't beat my Mirage PB.

Well done Unctuous, great time :+. You should of kept it to your self for a while :g.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I managed 2.04.xx this week. I'm finding the Goteki quite tricky to fly - great time Unc, hats off to you :+

[SaturnReturn]

2.04.05 - 37 SP - 18(?) BRs - Fury

[Deathjester87]

Can only manage 2.09.55 myself

[Dark_Phantom_89]

This weeks criteria can be found in the usual place :)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll get the ball rolling this week:

1.56.58, 50SP's, ?BR's

Just under a second slower than my PB, so there's room for improvement

[QjonPL]

1.53.62 54sp 14br (?) I+
At least two more barrels to do.

[amplificated]

I got 1:53.63, didn't count BR's or SP's but I missed a bunch; and had a few more goes...

Then I RQ'd.

Damn that BR going into the first tunnel... *shakes fist*

[Aeroracer]

i did 1.33.88 on time trial venom forward metropia in a hd auircom..3 br and all pads hit with good line.:nod

[JFthebestJan]

1.29.81 auricom hd 9BR 30SP
i think i can get yeldars time, but have no idea how ferflap..... did his time?????
2xBR @ last corner in every lap?
impressive if so!

[amplificated]

i did 1.33.88 on time trial venom forward metropia in a hd auircom..3 br and all pads hit with good line.:nod

I thought these were the challenges this week?
/MOA THERMA (FORWARD)/RAPIER/FEISAR
/METROPIA (FORWARD)/RAPIER/AG-SYSTEMS
/TECH DE RA (FORWARD)/RAPIER/AURICOM
/UBERMALL (FORWARD)/RAPIER/QIREX

I don't think you can do Venom or change the ships between tracks, though I may be wrong... I don't think DP was implicitly clear with the speed due to asking us to remember Venom and Rapier as the original classes, and then listing 4 challenges - all with Rapier - and saying there were 4 challenges this week.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Sorry guys, that was my fault - I forgot to put the "bold bit" indicating the new challenge :paperbag

Because there are 4 SL Challenges this week instead of one, the TT will be the same. I'll change the leaderboard.

[Aeroracer]

i dont understand what the SL and TT this week..please help :dizzy

[Challenger #001]

There are four challenges that you can do - you can do all four or only one. They are all Rapier events that you have to use the HD craft for:

Tech De Ra in the Auricom
Metropia in the AG-Systems
Moa Therma in the Feisar
Ubermall in the Qirex.

My times should be up shortly. ;3

[amplificated]

DP didn't say anything about HD-only craft :/

[Dark_Phantom_89]

You can use either HD or Fury craft for the challenges :)

[phaeton_pl]

Moa Therma - 1.47.80 30SP 6 BR's :(
Metropia - 1.34.47 36SP 7 BR's

[Dark_Phantom_89]

This will be the final TT Challenge - the SL Challenge will still continue as normal :)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Just to let you know that due to low numbers, I'm going to close the TT Challenge. The SL Challenge still has a healthy number of participants each week, so that will remain open. Thanks to everyone who particpated - we had a good 43 week run :)
