I dont manage to get any faster with a slider than with a jumper. I also dont really know how to improve my sucky time of 1'26''002 (except very little by going a bit sharper and so on). Whats the secret here
Should I totally forget about sliding? What about settings? plz help

I recently beat the staff ghost here with a 1'11"710. I forget with which car...Maybe the Mighty Hurricane? No, that was for Space Plant...Wait, yes it was with the Mighty Hurricane. I used between the top Maxspeed and center for the settings abouts. I honestly think that custimation is a matter of taste though. Use what suits you.
Anyway, cutting the corners smoother will help, but you will also need to use the boost wisely. I had some trouble on this one becasue I would use the boost asap... You need the boost for straightaways. Using the boost wrong can get you killed on this map too, especially at the humps near the start of the map.
on the second lap, take the outside recharge station to get a slightly longer refill. The more boost, the better off you are.
Other than the odvious things like hitting the arrows and tight turning, that should do it. Good Luck!

I think I can help here. Pick a slider (blood hawk or night thunder) and when the first turn with the arrow comes slide to the right over the arrow and keep sliding to the right instead of left. Your car should now fly of the track. DT Z furiously to get back on the track and gain al lot of speed. It might take some practice before you can make it back on the track and keep al the speed from the dive but if you manage to do it on all 3 laps you should be able to easily sub 1'20 PAL
. Good Luck!
