Good luck all :up:

well, first time from me is a 1.08.839. we should be in to the sevens pretty quickly.

i'm at 1'08.057, but i'm 3 tenths faster just in the final sector
can't seem to combine everything together

hi all :) my time at the moment is

t1 - 0:20.657
t2 - 0:41.751
lap - 1:07.798

nice time 750

I'm now at 1'08.194
Great time 750. Your last sector is almost half of a sec faster than mine. I have to work on that part...

the first time :)

1.06.559

t1 20.517
t2 40.798


new improvement,

1.06.132

T1 20.434
T2 40.535

I believe that there remains right 2 tenth to gain on all the circuit the best T1 20.330 with a light braking in too much before tackling the last turn and the passage speed which is not perfect in this run. on this motor bike, I pass speeds two bars after 12000 turns.

the best lap probably 1.05.9**

without trailbraking - 1'07.612 (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/489)
with trailbraking - 1'06.266 (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/490)

I'm not in the TTWS but I hope you don't mind me posting my times here :erm:

maybe it's about time we sapperate trail braking and normal driving :D

Thanks dude, i've got it down to 1'06.125 now :)

Good idea, because there's no way you're getting a 1'06 without it, the game simply does not allow for it to happen.

thanks for being with me on this one sonic, i think it's just not fair for the guys who ride a normal style

I enjoy the game more without trailbraking actually, and from cockpit view as well :)

A cool thing I noticed in the Replay Theatre, the icon next to the replay shows which view it was raced from. I've started using cockpit view now :)

btw uploaded my last lap http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/491

hi all :) no improvement from me, so here's the replay.dat file (http://www.ttbikesim.com/community/single.php/492) and
youtube movie for my 1:07.798http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=469m9zQI24Q

well, im now into the low 1.07s. i might be able to break into the sixes...but there is no way a low 1.06 is going to happen.

i didnt know that you can tell which view the lap was done in from the replay pic. i always race in the "cockpit" view. it provides a more realistic gaming experience (which is wha ti am after.)

when you first save a replay, itll use your view (cockpit, 3rd person, etc), but if you watch the replay before saving it, itll use a random best photomode picture. you can also make your save file smaller by a few kb as well.

[edit - 1'09.190 :? ]

Definitely. I'm enjoying the game a lot more from cockpit view without CheatBraking® , it just feels more realistic.

To be honest I was getting a little bored with the game up until now :)

CheatBraking® hehe, very witty :lol: :D

i confess! i use 3rd person view in the championships :redface: i find i get better times

i do use onboard a fair bit when i'm just charging around for the hell of it

perhaps i should persevere with it more, because as mentioned, it is more immersive 8O

My new time is 1'07.601.
Calla what's yours? I don't know what I have to beat... ;)

EDIT: Down to 1'07.544
But I had to save it as a normal replay cause I was chasing a faster ghost which lap wasn't clean.

been there...done that. lol.

after reviewing my replays, i decided that my 1.07.228 wasnt clean. after turns 3 and 4, i ran a little wide and clipped the grass on the left side where the east section meets back up with the full section. so now my time is a 1.07.768. ill have to have another go tonight.

Last improvement...
1'07.456

Maybe I'll try a few more times later, I know that there is 2 tenth's in there for me if I manage to do an optimal run... But I doubt so. ;)
Stay tuned

1.07.539 i think is all i can give it right now. im ready for a faster bike...one with a little more acceleration.

1'08.904 was all I could squeeze out of it. Fun little ride though. :up:

seems like ppl are enjoying the rides...:up: :)

after turns 3 and 4, i ran a little wide and clipped the grass on the left side where the east section meets back up with the full section.

On one of my runs, can't remember which one, I slightly clipped the grass on the left there. Maybe like, 1 wheel width of grass for a split second...would I be disqualified?

no. i think i did it too, even on my last posted time. on something like that, i could see running over that part of grass ok, but i have to check it out with es nes first.

Well I didn't post my first 1'07.4xx time because of that... Rules seemed to be very strict and I thought I'll be DQ. Honestly mine opinion is that even a little cutting of that turn gives you big advantage... You can come out much faster from the turn before and you have a better line for the next turn... So it's maybe not fair. But if someone askes me I wouldn't DQ it. It's up to you and your conscience. ;)

ive no issues with it as i found it hard to stay off the grass and still carry good corner speed. its not like your cutting the corner at 100mph on the edge of the tyre after all :P

hello

I posted replay tomorrow, sorry :up:
