for what it's worth, I tried it with JV and FC.
With JV I just couldn't make the jump even with full boost speed and straffing, and I don't think FC can either. With FC I had to brake some in order to be able to hit the 2nd plate and I was going at such a weird angle at that point that I landed in between the track after the 2nd jump and the stretch with the starting line.
that's my input, I bet Tonio and Leandro could help more. They've got plenty of good advice.

Dave! Maybe Tonio and Leo could have their own advice column like 'Car Talk' on NPR! What do you think, guys?

Concidentally, I was just talking to Jim Mitchell yesterday about a similar idea ... having our members write articles that could be posted on the news page to fill in the gaps between updates. No Nick, not fanfic stuff, but strat talk (a certain technique or a specific track), which track is your favorite and why, advice on how to analyze your profile for quicker rank gains, etc. But I'd need players to volunteer their skills for writing columns. What do you think?

To stay on topic, has anyone tried the suggested P5 jump with the long-jumping Stingray?

Also, I was playing Q3 today, and it occurred to me that when you hit a "twister" and get turned sideways, it looks a lot like when you do the JDT. Has anyone tried using the twisters to their advantage, twisting sideways before a dash plate and treating it like a JDT?

Maybe just a little fanfic?
Just a tiny little, teeny-weenie, itsy-bitsy fanfic?
Ooh! Did I mention that I'm going to have one of my greatest fanfics ever posted on a website about wrapping Roy Orbison up in cling film?
I wrote a great fanfic from the perspective of the clingfilm!

BTW, thanks for bringing up the subject of p5, Mr. 128.
I'd forgotten all about that one and playing it just now I took almost an entire second off my time!
Hats off to you, Comrade!

Well in Q3 is my best time attack because I hit the three dashs in 45 degree each laps.

have tried the JDT in Q3 with no success
don't play mv anymore (once every 3 months, to look at my champ time and get the feeling ) so hard for me to write what you're suggesting.
never thought of the PF stuff. guess I'll have a look tomorrow...

uh, Dave, If I was to rate Stingray and Fighting Comet's Jump performance, the FC would undoubtably jump better than SR.

Yeah, you're right ... I just forget these things sometimes due to my advancing age. I haven't seriously used anything but JV and FC since late June of 2001, so the details of the other vehicles start to get fuzzy.

With the shortcut on PF, I think it would be possibleif you could somehow just raise FC's speed by a little, maybe 10km/h. I think this would be possible by being bumped right before you jump, or boosting early in the lap, and having it run out a few seconds before the jump (no dash plate) and holding down. Maybe also doing what Fox128 suggested except tapping down during some of the jump. Seems close to impossible to me, but I will try it tonight.
