Just got a 1:08.601 Lisa, if I can perfect the last 2 corners I think there's some more time in it. To the question of braking technique, I use a mixture of both accelerator and brake at the same time and just off the throttle depending on the corner. Key tip is to really slow your speed before entering the corner so you can maintain speed or accelerate out of it.

My potential best is now 1:08:459, but it's just impossible to be consistent for a whole lap. Plus there's the added pressure of actually having to be good for 1 lap and a third to carry all the speed from the last couple of corners into the next lap. Safe to say I think Ian's got this in the bag.
![]() Edit: This is like Venom Hot Lap levels of sector time obsessive. I never thought I'd use the share feature that much, but it comes into its own on DC trawling back through video and snapshots to monitor all the times.1:08.782 will do. Driving round and round Oliver's any more will send me over the edge. |

Nah, don't speak too soon Lisa, plenty of time for me to have to chase your ghost around the track!

Thanks! Although Lisa is right behind me now with a 1:08.782! In real terms we are 2nd and 3rd on the global leaderboard as 1st had a time of 32secs with an unknown car! Current FF above me is 1:08.092, can anyone beat it??

This is exactly what I needed to start playing this game again. Scratches my competitive itch nicely.
I've got some of you on my friends list already but not all. Feel free to add me PSN - E5onAMP |

Man, I have no idea how you guys are getting those times. I've been playing the last hour and can't even catch up with my own ghost let alone gillyallan's. It's not even as if I'm ahead at one point and then lose it on a specific corner - I'm behind all the way! If i'm lucky I'll be level on that first corner.
I'm either terrible at that track or terrible with that car. |

Well I think I'm done for the night as Geometry Wars unlocks in 20 mins. Will try again tomorrow but it looks like I might be choosing the next track as it stands.

Phew!!! That last lap came together perfectly. There's no way I can see me beating that time. Thank goodness I'm not (currently) in last place for once!!!

I will take something off my time tonight. I'm determined about that but cant see it being much. If times won't shift much on this one should it finish earlier ?
