I just tried not going through any patches and i got a 26.16, the rest of my laps were 23.38, 23.36, 23.34, 23.35 which is a 1.59.59 new PR but only by 1 hundreth of a second, not much to brag about.
I just do not understand why i cant get my 1st lap time down it is starting to drive me insane!!!!

Like Rich said...don't just focus on the first lap...try to get a clean and stead run first

It is hard not to when you come out of the dirt patches going 450km/h and still win up doing a 26.xx!!!!!!
Especially with people saying that they can do a 25.7x without going through any dirt parches!

Kev: If you come out of the dirt patches going only 450 km/h, that pretty much defeats the purpose. A speed of 450 km/h will produce about the same time as just going around the dirt patches.
Just looking at your 5-lap breakdown of times, it sounds as if you have a flaw in your boosting technique (getting 2 bumps from the Golden Fox at the beginning of the race).

Can you give us your 4 final laps when you averaged 23"26 per lap? What is you fastest single boost lap to date? Have you done 23"23 yet?

Thanks for the tips Aliek, it has really helped alot... Got a new record about 10 minutes ago... The lap break down is: 34''58 31''16 31''34 (dammit) 31''10 (WOHO!!) 31''28 (dammit again) total: 2'39''46
It's pretty good in my opinion, if I just didn't do those darn mistakes all the freaking time... *sigh* 31''10 is 23''33 in NTSC time...

I"m glad I could help djungleurban, but I'm sure it's mostly thanks to Rich if you got that time...I haven't really said anything too helpfull in this forum.
Although...i may be able to help now:
Just a quick question...how exactly do you take the corner just before the dirt patches? (tell me if you let go fo the accelerator and then steer or whatever you do, heh), because that is a difficult and important part of the lap.
Also...taking the last curve as close to the dirtpaches as possible is very important as well...but easier to do. I usually tap the accelerator 3 times on that curve, that should be enough.
I don't know if this may help...but I learned a while back that "strafing" slows you down, so when you want to move close to the rail steer slightly towards it instead of strafing. When I used to strafe I could never get less than 23"30, instead now I can get easily 23"26, which is also my best one boost lap. 
Tell me if it helps!

Are you actually telling me that you can get 23"26 70% of the time but have never gone lower? That does not make much sense.

Kev:
I will pass this plate at about 14"20 on a good run. I think this will help identify your problem. It has to be either in your boosing technique or dirt patch technique.

How does it not make sense? It seems pretty obvious to me...I'm able to perform my best one lap boost 70% of the times. I have never done any lower so far, and yet I get 23"26 at least once per run if not twice.

Once a race would be 1/4 or 25%. Twice a race would be 50%. Where do you get 70%? However, it is still hard to beleive that you could get 23"26 that frequently and never knock even a hundreth of a second off your time. It sounds like your doing a flawed race perfectly, if that makes sense.
Too give you a comparison, I personnally have accomplished my best single boost lap time (23"22), ONCE. I have never even tied it. I have only gotten maybe three 23"23's. 23"24's and 23"25's are much easier to come by.
Another very important question: What is your best final 4 lap average time? In other words, what were your times for your fastest 4 laps in a row in the same race? This is an important statistic that I hope you track.

Actually, it's was you that helped me. You mentioned that you only cut the second dirt patch, so I tried that and that help me lowering my time quite a bit, don't you agree? 
And conserning then question, was that for me or for Rich...
