Title: Roy...... ( 1
Post by: Argammon on February 09, 2002, 11:00:00 PM
is the favourite according to B.Joe's analyzis  

Imo some of the 'newbies' like Usrin and Dario already have a very good time which is already very hard to beat if you don't find any real shortcut,which is not possible bc Zak blocked 'em with water,tunnels and shicanes *G*



I don't have the time to find out the best of the 3 ways so I will just chose one of them  



My Predictions excluding my own position:



1)Bismarck (very good on closed tracks)

2)Roy (very good overall driver more likely to find small shortcuts like the 'loop jump' if he does he will win,if not my bets are on Bismarck

3)Bonzai Joe... will be about 1,5-2 seconds slower than Roy and Bismarck who should be close together  

4)The newcomers Usrin and Dario should be only marginally slower than B Joe

and 6th place should go to Ben ,who IMO does not spend much time to drive or he would be a lot faster...

Well, Argammon.

We'll see................

but I would not underestimate Ben Snel.

The others are good too.

This year will be very different than precious year !

What about yourself Argammon? Don't you think you could sneak into top 6?   I think you could...

WWWWWWHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAMMMMMMM



YEE HAW - THAT'S  FAST .



This are my first impressions after that ride.



So there is a new cowboy in town, try to beat him and drive at least a 1:20:00, so it doesn't look so awkward.



By the way, there was no Shortcut, it was just a

  COLT-SEAVERS-MEMORIAL-STUNT.  



So let's adore him.

Bismarck is talking in tongues. I think we better make some computers break that code, maybe there is some kind of hidden message

i just want to say that you are speculating very much about this track, i am waiting all of you at the closed tracks in the perm. comp ive heard that roy is a very good pilot, roy ?where are you', i want you to teach me some lessons at the closed tracks.

I guess you have missed this track IS a closed track  

And continue to adore Roy,it will just make racing harder for him and maybe make him lose  

He will love you and Bonzai for it

Well I just send in a time around 1.20-1.21

At least we don't hold back our times,Roy  

Everyone knows 1.26.xx is a poor time for you



My time will come?

Well you forgot I'm already leading :X

And twould be nice if I would still lead after this month  

But for that you need to accept the 3rd place,deal?  
Title: Roy...... ( 1
Post by: roywiegerinck on February 12, 2002, 08:00:00 AM
Nope, it's not a deal sorry  



Speaking about holding back times ;

I think you have driven faster than a 1.20  



greetz,

Welcome Rui



The best advice, I could give you, is to look at the driving lessons and to watch the replays of the top three drivers of the last month.

I am sorry to say, that the January-Replays are not very useful, but the replays from this month will contain much different artifices and stunts.



Good Luck

At least I learnt that 6th gear drives over water :O



Looking forward to end of month then  thanks!

Well, 6th gear only drives over water when you driving along the fence...

Take a look at all the previous top replays from this competition, most of them are very useful.

Title: Roy...... ( 1
Post by: Argammon on February 13, 2002, 02:00:00 PM
IMO the 'previous' replays aren't really usefull at all.

Newbies need to use replay handling and to take a look at the map to find the best way...

I won't tell you my trick to do it bc it's my advantage and very few drivers know it.Actually I doubt anyone else does,they just might find the same way by driving for hours ...



The replays of this month might be usefull though.

I'm a bit disappointed the whole opposition is still hiding behind us in the scoreboard.

If you think you can win with a replay send in on last day you won't succeed :X *eg*

Hey people...



That`s what I work for? ? put them all up, and you can`t find them?   All the previous tracks are available, and from zct07 (if I remember good) there are the best three replays packed in too. Visit previous scores, and click simply on the pic of the track, if you need them.

Argammon : Why not a replay on the last day ?

It improves your change to win....I think.....

And you found a shortcut.... is it faster than Bismarck's time ?

don't tell me it's the loop at the end..

Post by: Bonzai Joe on February 13, 2002, 11:00:00 PM
This is a competition, Argammon. It's all about winning. If you like to send in all your good replays in the middle of the month, feel free to do so, it'll surely make things easier for the rest of us   But I fully understand if some people want to try to win in other ways than just driving well. One of these ways is to send in your replay at the last minute.

Rui:

Are you sure you used replay handling?

Visit the driving school to check out how.

If you want a good time you to save at least 1 time every 20-30 seconds you drove and reload frequently...



Do you see the last loop? Try not to drive it but jump to the left...

you might get wet the 1st few tries... just be patient and you will land on the road....



Title: Roy...... ( 1
Post by: RuiFigueiredo on February 14, 2002, 02:00:00 PM
Of course I use rep handling :P



and the last loop is actually the only trick I know in the track... :P



well gotta practice more I guess   tnx anyway!

Rui, have you checked the correct pressure of your tires?

It's important to get 1 till 2 seconds.
