If anyone else would like to try this technique and post 1-boost lap times with and without it.

That way we can see what the difference is with someone who is "good" at this game.

Although my time isn't that good, I'll add my two cents on this:

This "new" strat is what I was doing anyway. Touching the dirt on the left to slow you down just enough for a tighter turn is something that I noticed by doing it accidentally over and over, so I started doing it intentionally. It reduces your margin of error (miss to the left and you slow down too much, miss to the right and you swing too wide because you're not preparing to blast turn), but for the top players that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Kev, you said: Instead of Blast Turning on the last turn skim the stuff that slows you down on the left side.

English isn't my first language...could you guys explain me what you mean by "skimming" on the left side? oh...and why left and not right...it should be a shorter path on the right.

Alright,

Well, skimming the outside edge means that you should go over the dirt just enough to slow you down far enough to make the tightest turn possible(could take some practice to get it just right)

I have never tried doing it on the right side, i will try this now

Kev:

Sorry man, I tried your strat but I personally have had no luck. I just don't see how it is possible to make a tight turn without blast turning. I have always tried to skim the rough with the stingray's right wing but just enough to not slow down at all.

Also, I am a little unclear on this "Left" or "Right" side of the rough stuff. What exactly do you mean?

oooh...I get it now...I used to do that when I was in my 1'59"xx's (so not too long ago, hehe), but I never say Rich or the Japanese guy do it on the video, so I thought that it wasn't such a good idea. It is a good idea yes, but in my opinion its less efficient than the traditional way. When your blast turning you sort of have more control on the car. That's my opinion, but it not mean it true, you dig?

Hey Rich, what would you say would be the part of the track most important to a good lap time under 23"30? For a while I kept thinking it was the first three curves but now I'm now that sure...

Well then,

Thanks for trying it, at least that is one less strat we need to worry about.

I will of course keep racing and see if i can come up with some more. It will keep me busy during summer vacation!

Al:
The 2 most important parts for low lap times are the final turn and the boost. The boosting technique is far more difficult to master. However, the final turn may be a bit more difficult to do nearly pefect 5 straight laps. The exact time and place in which to fire the boost is crucial.

The first 3 turns can make some difference in your time but not nearly as much as the ones mentioned above.

Hope this helps. Are you re-gaining interest in MC1?

Just a quick question for anybody who can answer it:

What is an ideal speed to be at after a perfect double-bump opener on MC1?

I usually average 430 kph with a double bump. But there have been ocasions where I was bumped to 440 and once 445 (I'm guessing a glitch). Hey be sure to go in the racharging zone before the second bump by the way.

Thanks,

For some reason I cant get my 1st lap time down to below 25.8x.
When i did a 25.8x i dropped down to about 460 driving through the dirt. I just dont get why i camt get my 1st lap time down to 25.5x. Any Advice?

Top Speed,

I dont think that the 445 speed is a glitch in the game becasuse i just did one too. I cant explain how. I will continue doing it and find out how i did it.
