I hit the Entro Exit too. The bottom of it. With the nose of my car.

(Was a slow run too so whatever.)

Bonus points for hitting the EE?

I have relearned the hate for past me, past me pulls of BS moves, past me takes advantage of every little mistake. Past me keeps getting better.

Then you wipe a second off your time, pysically shout out "YES!" followed by the wife in the other room asking "Are you OK dear?"

This is basically my Trackmania experience, except I also have a a two and four year-old who cheer when I get passed by past me. :3: And then complain that it's their turn to play "the car game".

Do you let them play and then watch as they cut 3 seconds off your best time? 'cos kids are bastards like that.

Also, I got up this morning, wrote a LP update, had ten mins before I had to make my breakfast so I decided to take this out for a spin.

I then wiped 1.7 seconds off my time. after spending 40 minutes last night trying to do the same.

I've sailed through the gap between the two gates before, that annoying.

I'm not a fan of this one, it has to many "dead stops" - bits that if you mess up even slightly, there is no chance to recover once you flip your car out of the arena.

I did just cut 1.83 seconds off my time this morning, but I was swearing all the way.

loving hell I was not expecting to do that well - didn't try super hard due to busyness last week :dance:

Yeah, I'm surprised how well I did!

Now all I need to do is get the workshop to download the new map! You said it would be automatic! YOU LIED!

your mom was really fun at first and I felt really good about your mom.

But now I'm getting down and dirty with your mom and I just don't feel like I can perform well enough.

(I still can't beat my best time from Monday, maybe I got lucky?)

I had the same problem for a while, Your Mom is a temptress, who invites you in with an easy score, then gets the clamps out and makes you work for more.
I did manage to squeeze another three seconds out of her yesterday.

The first drop is killing me - I can get the theory, but it seems random if I land smoothly or not.

You do know you can tap the brake in the air to control how you land, right?

Yeah, that's the part that I can't do the same every time - there is an angle you need to be at to land smoothly, and I can only hit it one in ten times at the moment.

Don't forget to keep holding accelerate while tapping the brake.

Try setting up a visual cue for when to stabilize the fall. For example, when my front tires are just over the first curb, that's when I stabilize and I get much more consistent starts. You'll have to find the angle that works best for you, of course. I also use similar things to help figure out when to start braking to avoid drifting.

Guess which moron just blew four seconds off his time by following advice.

Dammit, now I'm the worst one who plays every week.

We're still better than the smucks who played one race then dissapeared.
