K2 lap
« Thread started on: Jun 16th, 2003, 7:01pm » |

my new PR is 24"13, which was a damn perfect run  with -2 boosts, 2 dash plates in the first part of the circuit, before the "8". The second boost may not be very useful but if I happen to hug the barrier... -left left for the "8" -very early drift turn for the hairpin, boost when I pass it -take the dash plate and go back on the inside of the left turns -last dash plate after a big drift very close to the wall on the right.
Is something wrong with this strat?

Even though it sounds like you are using the same strat as me I'll try to help, oh Great One.
I boost just before the line, of course. I don't boost again until I come out of the '8'. Oh, left left at the '8', just like you. As soon as I boost after the '8' then I drift. It's almost immediate, one after the other. Out of the '8', boost, drift. Bam, bam, bam. If I wait until after the hairpin to boost then my speed drops to 540 or so, but if I boost before it only goes down into the 580's.  I can't even begin to think about how to describe the rest of the track, so I'll leave it at that. Plus I'm sure that Leo has way better advice.

tonio, you only use 2 boosts for the fast lap?? well i use 4.. so if u can go 24'13 with 2 boosts, thats like awesome. here u go... first boost before the line ( duh ) second boost: after the second turn when the speed drops to about 590.. then i drift all the way to the second dash plate and take a right right at the 8  drifting almost imediately after the 4th dash... then when i hit that tight right turn i use my 3rd boost. my fourth one i'll use it about 2 seconds after the second to the last dash right before the S turn that leads you to the last dash, then bam off u go to the fininsh line and try to finish with a nice drift.
other than that, allways hug the inside walls preferably 'riding' the rails cutting the most amount of space possible and drift drift drift..thats the key for this track.. let me know if this helps
take care
Leo

So nick for your 24"02 you used (almost) the same strat as me?  when I pass the hairpin my speed is above 580 so why should I boost as early as you, just after a dash plate?

take the first hairpin after the '8' at a sharper angle on your first lap since you're going slower it should work and you won't drift as long. I noticed that when you drift for a long time while you're not boosting your speed will drop. Also there is that kind of 's' thing just before the final dash, try to drive straight at the corner then hit 'L' and turn right so you drift around it scraping the inside corners of the track. I also do a couple of extra blasts when I come off the final dash plate so I'm going more straight and not fighting the momentum of my car.
I don't know if my directions ever make any sense, and I'm sure you don't really need them.

My K2 times sucks compared to yours. My best 1-lap time is 24"59. I've never been that good at 1-laps, I don't know what the secret to them is.
About the figure of 8, surely the shortest route is taking the right side since the next turn is a right?
