translated from Greg in the French forum.
DVM would be better at this I guess...

with JV and WW as master opponent

First I don't use "strafe running" on ice. For a right turn I push R and for a left turn L.

DON'T take the last dash plate in the center.

VERY VERY important point, the jump! take the the small right turn on the inside and strafe (on ice, only here). Just after this (little turn), turn left while pushing R so that you slide to the extremity of the jump plate, reaching it from the back (almost reverse to the track). During the jump don't change your direction, just blast turn once. You think that you won't make it and miss the track but eventually you'll land on it. The closer to the start line you land, the better you jumped.

"strafe run" everywhere else, on normal surfaces.

boost on the line.

so Greg is saying that you don't straff at all on the ice? Even on the straightaways? It seems like you would lose a lot of time. Maybe you don't straff while turning?Could someone please clarify this?

i tried not straffing on B2 and i got my new SR.. so i guess it helps.. just whenever u are on the ice, run it like you would be running any other racing game.
BUT.. u do want to make use of DRIFTING if u see ice, cause that will make you slide supper fast ( the car will actually do a 180 if u exagerate it ).. i'm not that great on K4, but i'll try practicing it

later

Thanks, I think that cleared some things up.
-So Greg, you run the course like you normaly would (with straffing),you just don't straff while turning since that would make your car drift too far after the turn and you'd lose time?
Leo, are you saying that you don't straff at all on the ice tracks but DO take advantage of the exaggerated drift turn?

oops, gotta go so i can take pics of my SR on P1 for Dave! Thanks, I'll post more coherently later.

yea, for example thats on B2..on the split part i just take the right side and go 'straight' without straffing, trying to keep a straight line as possible...then, on the next part is the key to a good lap time.. u drift wayyyy early..it feels like u wont make it but u most of the time do make the turn..but u want to start drifting about a second after u leave the split area..preferably on ice..
.. i guess this is out of topic since we're supposed to be talking about K4
