Cheers for that mate - how do you take the last straight though? Do you power-up to full whilst boosting ONCE or do you 'shimmy-shimmy' the boost-pads with re-filling?
Power-up to full whilst boosting once.
I tried the 'shimmy-shimmy' about a week ago and my times weren't as good. Probably improved my technique since then, so can't be sure if it wouldn't improve the time even more. Will give it a go this Evening.
I've been thinking about it here at work - first thing I'm going to do is try and hit the first pad adjacent to the start of the pit and then lean left without losing too much acceleration. Prob curve right after the boost pad at the bottom of the ramp and then left into the second pad at the top therefore already facing the pit-lane.
So, could you guys give me tips on two tracks. The first Aeropolis and the second track on the second cup? I just seem to be losing so much time. Short cuts?
Unfortunately I couldn't seem to pull off the flying trick at all last night on Split Oval. I packed in trying after half an hour. ft: You know it's a bad call when you can't even keep up with your own 3 ghosts after the first series of boosts - god knows what I was doing when they were recorded.
I then gave Lateral Shift an hours worth of bashing - I didn't finish once! This track is pure suicide if you push it too much.
Tonight I'm returning to Thunder Road, then I'm going to try some of the other tracks that I haven't bothered with previously such as Phantom Road and Double Branches. I might try improving my Intersection time also.
Story mode missions #7, #8 and #9 are impossible on v.hard. Has anyone else attempted these yet? I'd say the easiest out of the three is #9 - After an hour of beating the ghost only half way around lap 1 I resorted to the 'snake' technique and got a little further on my first attempt - you have to be bloody careful not to fly off the sides though.
I only put it together to see what the heaviest AAA craft would be like (ie. a lead brick)... no idea that it would allow me to beat some of the ghosts for once
