shhhhh....I need help on Silence, keep it quiet though, I don't want everyone to know about it 
okay here's the deal, my regular 1-S lap is around 22"50, which I can't complain with, but I know it can go lower....the major problem with this course is my first lap, I can now only get around 25"40, the major problem are those damned corners, the hairpin and the one before the hairpin. Help me out guys!

WHAT'S THAT YOU SAY YOU NEED HELP ON SILENCE !!!!??1!!? 
huh.. sorry for the late reply here but this is what I do:
A good opener for me is anything under 33 secs ( so under 24"75 NTSC) and going 478 kph into the 2nd lap so that the 2nd lap is just as fast the other 1-S laps. A good 1-S boost lap for me is 29"5 - 29"4 ( so 22"1 NTSC)
Pick Golden Fox rival, then after the booststart only press L to get in front of the Fox and get the 1st bump. This way the Fox will come back much quicker to give the 2nd bump than if you'd steer in front of it using the d-pad. Anyway, get the 2nd bump upto 430 kph just before the tracks splits.
Go left at the split as always in between the mines and hit the jump plate which should get you right up to the 478 maxspeed.
The middle hairpin section is the hardest part. Stick to the right rail as you approach it , then steer hard left into the first part with a blast turn, then don't attempt to clear the second part by steering to the right but simply drive straight into the left rail and railbounce back onto the short straight. Your speed should be 420 or higher after bouncing back .. if not try again.
Last hairpin section is pretty easy to clear with a blast turn. Just make sure to avoid the rails here cos it will take 20-30 kphs away which makes quite a bit of diference.
For the 1-S laps I changed my booststrat a bit: I now boost just before the middle hairpins , hit the brake hard to steer hard left into the first corner, then release the brake as soon as I'm trough the first part to railbounce again in the left rail and boost a bit further onto the straight. Boost just wears off before the final corners which as mentioned before can be easily cleared with a blast turn keeping the 478 kph.
DVM-sensei.

Thanks a lot for the detailed info...I'll have to practice the double bump, for some reason I cannot maximize the benefit from using it. You do pretty much what I do, I guess I just have to do it cleaner and not hit any rails (which I do, haha). Thanks again for the reply!

You shouldn't slam into the wall after the hairpin...try to skim the edges and come out of the hairpin...should make it and still be running around 410-420 kph. Boost half way through the next straight away, and run through the big angled curve and brake only at the last peice, try to cut through the rail a little and boost press the accelerator. You should still have about 1/4 second of boost so that you can jump back to 478 kph. Then go through the last little zigzag thingy and you should be home free. It's a little hard to do but using this strategy will help you lower your times by alot. My 1S best is 21"81 right now, and Leo found a link where the japanese have done 21"79. http://www.aya.or.jp/~tko/gif/bmfz9203.gif I'm pretty sure they do the same that I did. I can only think of one more thing that could improve the time, but its extremely hard to do, and that would be to take the curve right before the jump (the one with the mines) from the left side of the mines and cut through the rail and into the jump. Very hard to do...I pulled it off only once ...ever!
Good luck to you!
