actually only 2 (if I remember) Japanese players can set PR's with JV on Q2 (and greg is/was closer than me to do the same). But anyway, they don't have a site anymore...

At Q2 there are 3 japs players can set PR's with JV in the non-official site and the world record was 2'00"69 in GP, but on the official site by Nintendo there one japs which do 1'59"xx if i remember.
One time i was arrive to take the 2 shortcuts but it(s very hard!!!

Heh. I still find it difficult to pull off both shortcuts on the first lap of Q2 with the FC...... Think I'll stay away from trying with the JV until I can get my Q2 time under 2'10"XX...

FC best for most players
JV best for experts (not quite there yet)
My third favourite is FM2, fast good steering + boost

The JV takes quite a bit of getting used to as it, IMO, basically throws all other vehicle control tactics right out the window.

A few things you may notice about the JV are:

1) Only vehicle with 100/100 armor.
2) Can obtain a boost speed of 602 km/h for an estimated time of 3.5 seconds.
3) Probably the heaviest vehicle in the game(with the Silver Thunder close behind), so attempting extended jumps are very difficult(IE: Queen 2: Tenth Zone East - Plummet Circuit).

I've noticed from my own experiences, that on some courses(at this stage for me), the JV is near useless.

Gotta love courses that start off with a sharp turn and you screw up the angle for a bump..... Pawn 3: Empyrean Colony - Dash Circuit is a good example as is Pawn F: Cloud Carpet - Long Jump (First U turn).

Overall, The JV takes a LOT of practice to get used to. By all means, do try with it, but just don't expect to set PRs right off the bat. Best of luck to you though.

Watching the available videos (trying to do the same on some parts) of the championship circuit should help you (official WR and Fred's). At least that's how I learnt to handle JV.

((((and I'd REALLY like to do the same for fzx... with all these "diving stuffs" to be competitive on gc ))))

When I'm just playing for fun, the Falcon MKII is my favorite, followed by the Stingray and Sly Joker. When it comes to record setting I try to use FC or JV. I'm not that bad with the FC but I need a little work as far as the JV goes. However, I have noticed that in addition to the stuff that was pointed out in an earlier post, JV has another exception-to-the-rule stat: It's handling actually improves on ice, whereas the other 9 get worse. Before I lost my original copy of MV my best Ancient Mesa times for both tracks were set with JV. Since I managed to find a replacement copy last week, I have yet to do any actual record setting work with it though. I'll try to get my times up soon. BTW I had unlocked JV the hard way on my original copy and gotten all 40 Chess Pieces. Therefore, I figured it would be ok to use the code to unlock it this time around. But I did unlock the other cars first...

Trust me on this.The Falcon MK-II is overall the best car in the game compared to the others. It the best turning overall in the entire game.

JV and FC are defenitly the best Time Trailing machines, My third choice would be WW.

At The moment I use FC for quite a few tracks. I'm still trying to learn how to handle JV well.
However JV is able to handle really well on Ice, Which helps for sure. And it's tough armor proved that Fire Field (Land mine) is meant for JV. Since all those mines give you alot of speed when hit properly ^^.
Although my third choice WW proves useful for getting lap times since the speed of it's boost is quite high.

Those are pretty much my preferences. ^^
