WOW!!! Now I am starting to get worried. I played the other night for about 20 minutes for the first time in over a month and busted out a 1'58"63. However, your time is a little disconerning. One good first lap and 4 of the same quality as the ones you mentioned above and my time is history. It should not be long now. I fully expected this. I may have to start getting serious again. If everything comes together for me, I could go LOW -- Really LOW -- maybe even a 1'58"4x?
By the way, Leo, your current best time of 1'58"67 would actually make it on my top 10 (at #10). To date, what is your best first lap time and best single boost lap?

Come on guys. It has been over a month since I issued this Mute City I challenge. I have given you all numerous tips and stradegies and yet no one on this site can go lower than 1'58"60 to challenge the Jap world record.
What is the hold up I honestly did not beleive my time would stand up this long.

I think that the most people spread out their racing effort, not focusing on one single track. But I think they're trying and the reason why no one has reached your time, might be because your time is pretty fantastic too... And I mean, it is the world record you're after... It isn't suppoused to be easy...  By the way, what has happened to you? I expected you to shoot up through ranks like a thunderbolt or something, but you haven't even updated your profile. Atleast, I would like to see your other MC times. They should be something out of the ordinary...

DJ: My other Mute City I Times are as follows:
2) 1'58"61 3) 1'58"63 4) 1'58"63 5) 1'58"64 6) 1'58"65 7) 1'58"66 8) 1'58"66 9) 1'58"67 10) 1'58"68
As you can see, I have really not had a "break out" race where everything goes just right. Usually when my times get bunched up this much, I will have a great race and shatter my record. I have to find some time to start playing again.

Rich, I believe he meant he wanted to see your full potential developed on (at least) MC2 and MC3, not see your other MC1 times. He was asking you the exact reverse of the question you've been asking . . . why aren't you playing the other tracks to improve your overall ranking?
It seems that you prefer just to play MC1, while the majority of us like to play all of the tracks. There's no right or wrong here of course, we just have different ways of enjoying the game.

Yes, I meant what Dave said. Atleast your MC1 lap time should be great.

tsc tsc.. wouldnt it be sad if i beat rich's mc1 time? u should be able to have the wr if thats all u play rich.. i bet i would by now  u will most likely only be regarded as a master f-zero player if u can beat my overal ranking, which would mean u are a better overall player..but for now u are lagging way behind. and like dj said.. at least play mc2 and mc3 and show us what are u capable on those tracks
later

Leo: I beleive that MC1 shows exactly what type of potential and talent you have. The other courses are fun to play on occassion but are really not needed in determining a player's skill level. A player's skill level is directly proportional to his MC1 time. 
Also, Leo, if you do beat my time of 1'58"60 and after all of the tips I gave you, I did not think that it would take you this long, I will start playing once again. And, I will CRUSH any time that you post and can prove!!!!! No one can take me in My OWN MUTE CITY I Challenge. You must be JOKING!!!

Rich:
You might want to change your "red text sig" a bit.
"Mute City Master" sounds like you can do well on ALL MC tracks. At the moment, "Mute City I Master" might be a bit more appropriate(?).
Just a suggestion.

I could do well on both the other Mute City Tracks and I could to well on all of the tracks. I just chose not to. My MC1 time shows my skill level.

It's just my humble opinion, but I disagree with you completely. MC1 is way to easy to determine your real potential. If you practice that track long enough, you are bound to get good on it, REAL GOOD. I mean, how hard is it to go tight at top speed all the time. It's almost like saying that the worlds best driver is the Indy 500 champion, even though the guy can turn right... No, I think that the tracks that determine your skills are PT2, FF or maybe DW2. Those three tracks forces you to use more techniques like advanced boost turning and braking. I haven't mastered these techniques (heck, I haven't even mastered the bump start) and therefore I can't produce very good times on those tracks. But at "little skill tracks" like BB, DW1 and MC1 I'm much better (only the lap times though).

Kinda agree there Djungle.. The MC1 track doesn't really push your skills to the limit. Does prove you have a lot of patience and tenacity to stick with the same mind-numbing task for hours on end . i usually get bored after a few dozen tries

It has been 3 weeks, Leo, since you posted your 1'58"67. When are you going lower?
