djungleurba the question was for you.
Rich. Ok so maybe it no 70%, but I get it frequent, that's for sure. I'm telling ya...I never got any lower and I get 23"26 frequent now. Only two things I have to point out: 1) I didn't get one on my current best time, but that was over a week ago, and I start pulling out 23"26's after like 2 days later (I didn't lower my time from that yet cuz I hadn't got a good enough starter lap) 2) I gotta find another controller somewhere because I "accidentally" broke my last one after losing...um....a race...heh. So I won't be able to play for maybe another 3-4 days.
MCI time split: 1)25"66 2)23"30 3)23"30 4)23"30 5)23"27 ---> 1'58"85
That's my current time and it's 12 hundreths lower than my older one. I feel that if I give it a shot this coming week, I can be in the 1'58"7x zone (and say bye bye to the bergeron brothers, yey!)
Oh...by the way...your telling me that this WHOLE time you've been bragging about a SINGLE 23"22 Well shucks...everyone gets a little lucky. I thought you could pull it off every once and a while...like every other race.
Oh...by the way...I saw your 1'58"60 time...and I kept forgetting to ask you something. I noticed that there's a lap where you accidentally took the jump and that gave you a slower lap time. How come you never bothered to try redoing it? You probably have the capability to go 1'58"57 or something.

Yes that is correct and that is exactly why I have been bragging about that lap. If it was easy enough to do frequently, I would be bragging about a 23"21 or 23"20. Do you have any idea how much of a skill difference there is between even a 23"25 and a 23"23 or 23"22. More than you can imagine!!!
That lap I took the jump was a complete mistake. I came around the third turn to wide after zoning out for a second, and then figured...what the heck..take the jump and see what happens. As you can see, it was a pretty bad lap.
I have calculated my potential best time for a "Great Race" race and I have come up with a time of 1"58"48. I would start with a 25"46 first lap and then average 23"255 per the final 4 laps. Both things I have done before but never in the same race.
My "Perfect" race would be my personnel best fastest first lap followed by my fastest 4 single boost laps and would have the following breakdown:
1) 25"46 2) 23"23 3) 23"23 4) 23"23 5) 23"22 Total: 1'58"37
There is still much room for improvement on that first lap.

You mean turn 3, right? Anyway, in that corner I usually try to keep my car 1-1,5 carwidth from the right barrier and then cut the corner as tight as possible. I'm always using the tapping technique, besides on the first lap where I just turn normally (the speed isn't more then 435-445 so it isn't really necessary). That's the theory atleast. But tend to screw up things all the freaking time so sometimes I just drift out far far away and sometimes I cut the corner too much so I end up in the barrier instead...
But that's basically it...

DJ: That's not what he is asking? What do yo do right before the dirt patches to get into the position of going through them, I think is the question.

Yeah...I meant what rich said
Rich my best so far is 25"66. But if 25"4x is the best you ever done or ever heard of...how do you know there's room for improvement? Exactly what do you have to improve on to go a 25"3x?

I have only broken into the 25"4x's about 10 times. Most of these times had some flaws that could be improved on. Several times, I lost speed going through the rough patches. Other times, I took a couple of the turns too wide.
I am very confident that a time of 25"40 could be acheived. Below that, is pushing it. However, everything must come together pefectly including going through both of the rough patches without losing any speed at all. Also, I think one of the japs claimed to have done a 25"40.
25'66 is not bad for only going through 1 rough patch. You should be able to cut off about a tenth of second by just going through both patches. If you can do that and then average 23"26 per lap, you would have the following race:
1) 25"56 2) 23"26 3) 23"26 4) 23"26 5) 23"26 Total: 1'58"60 ...... ah.. that sounds familiar

Have either of you ever tried doing a fast lap using 4 boosts, i spent the last week doing them and came up with a 22.53 as my best time. You two should be able to improve of that and beat Leo's record.

rich I'll give it a shot as soon as I can find a new controller...the local store has cheap plastic lookalikes but no originals...grrrr!!!!...I'll settle for one of those if I can't find anything else.

Nope...never tried fast laps. Dont think I would want to or even could beat that 22.48 of Leo's. Besides, whats the point. A single-lap fast time is far more important in my opinion.

I agree that single boost lap times are better and also agree that 23.22 for a single boost lap is alot harder to do than a 22.48 for a fast lap, but this site dont keep single boost lap records so if you can get the record why not try?

It would be real hard to keep tabs on a single boost lap category. The game tracks the fastest possible lap, which is a 3.999999999 boost lap. Although single boost laps do not have their own rankings, their importance is included in your overall track time, just like your first-lap time, which is also essential to a good track time. If you care anything about overall rankings, you have to get the fastest times using all allowable means possible. Is there a video available of Horry's record run? We ALL moved down a spot this week, well except DVM and LR, hehe.
