Tourist trophy, uh competition?

[Sephiroth]

Right, see who can get the best lap times, we'll have a little competition .

Whoever gets the best lap time, gets to pick the next track and bike.


First one:

Kawasaki ZX6R
Grand Valley East.

I'll post my time once I have a go.

[v4forlife]

ive got some good times for tracks, and mostly with the nc30 RM

what sorta time frame are we talking too, like everyone has a few days from the challenge or what??
like 3 days would be good, i would say a week, but on the net thats like forever.

Hmmm, three days I guess, considering some people have other commitments and what not.

I'll have to re-rent the game .

So far, on my first lap I've got 1'12.047

EDIT:

1'10.886

[TheDonUK]

Yea this sounds good, I mean im in the middle of exams but if there a couple of days then thats cool... Shall we say the deadline is... Wednesday 9PM?

As long as one of the tracks is Suzuka East...

I will post a time tomorow probably, as i dont have the internet at home, So ZX6R and grand valley east it is....

And sephiroth, buy the game ffs, i think we have established its worth it, if only to take pics of the back end sliding all over

[Sephiroth]

Well I just spent a tenner buying a usb card .

I'll trade some games in tomorrow for it! lol


Anyway, whoever wins gets to choose the next track and bike.

Deadline: 9pm Wednesday

Good luck I'll need it with the way I corner...

Need proof of times too really!!

[Finglonga]

[TheDonUK]

We could use proof and anyone who is able (ie has digi cam, why not do it), but the thought occurs to me, why cheat? there is no prize, if you have to cheat on something like this you have issues...

Anyway i couldent wait, so i took a break from revision, went home and did about 30 laps... my best time was:

1.06.793 with the ZX6R (Road bike, not RM) on production tires... I made a couple of mistakes too, around the tight left hander before the tunnel... On that track its all about hitting the last corner before the straight full throttle without letting up... anyways

1.06.793... beat that

[phantomtek]

My best is 1.08.369

Christ knows how you got 1.06.793.

[Ork12]

1:11.221 I sucks, but my right analogue is constantly stuck on half accelerate which means as I'm on professional control the rear wheel keeps going mad at slower speeds lol.

[TheDonUK]

Took me 30 laps to do it, but i think i can get even better, the most important part is after you cross the start finish line and come up for that first sharp right hander dont brake untill you are basically over the little hill, you need to get it right so you go really deep into the corner ( essentially in the shape of a letter A), nearly coming off the track, that way you can point the bike in the direction of the next straight and get the throttle all the way open ASAP, i find thats faster than keeping to the right hand side with half throttle and waiting untill the corner starts to open...

the other important part is the last corner, you have to hit that first apex just right and then keep the throttle pinned, dont let off, if you get it right you use ALL the track and then some, drifting out past the stripy sides of the corse to the left and then tight into the right hand bend onto the straight i find it gives you wicked speed down the finish straight...

The one thing i find about this game, generally is try not to open the throttle untill you know you wont have to release it again, full throttle that is, obveously make minor ajustments.

Also i am using standard, i dident try with pro but i can imagine alot more crashes

Hope that helps, even though i shouldent be giving away my secrets for free

[phantomtek]

I do that, I just can't seem to get it right, and now I got some nice pictures from my efforts

[Luke_Retrofly]

[TheDonUK]

There are no "difficulties" luke, if you want to use pro control i dont see why you cant, i use standard...

also as a side note i use the Lean In riding form, what have the rest of you that posted time used?

[Ork12]

1:08.416, use lean in, have downgeard the bike aswell. Just keep either hitting the bump on second corner or rear wheel slides on the two really tightuns.

[phantomtek]

Got the rear out without even being on the bike, beat that noobs.

[TheDonUK]

LOL ^^

As for downgearing wouldent that make you slower on the long straight?, i cross the finish line at just under 170 thats if i got a good run from the last corner. Anyways im off home now, do some revision and then hopefully beat my time, i know i can shave half a second or so off what i got.

Cheers.

[Ork12]

Yeah but most of the course is all about powering out of the corners, I still get 160 on the long straight but out of the corners faster.

[phantomtek]

My best is 1.07.552

[TheDonUK]

I shaved a couple of tenths off:

1.06.631

I think with a perfect lap, you could hit around the 1.05 mark... ile leave it now unless anyone beats that.

[Sephiroth]

I just took the game back, will be buying it tomorrow!

[Ork12]

Can we add another challenge now, bored after 50 laps of great valley east.

[TheDonUK]

Im up for that, as it seems im winning so far, i say

Suzuka East on a GSXR-600 (Road not Race).

I will post a time as soon as...

[Luke_Retrofly]

Gah I need a PS2

Ive got the game just nothing to play it on!
