Well actually, I was going to let someone else choose, but I'll go for Sebenco Climb on Venom, because I played it last night and forgot just how awesome it is. Also: it's a track that you don't really have to use the 'boost before the finish line' trick on, making it great for speed laps.

Hi guys, think I'll join in with this. Just put this on today for first time in over a year. What a game! :ph34r:

Rossco - RosscoMac - Assegai - Sebenco Climb - Venom - 33.44

Think I missed a speed pad with that one too and obviously first day back so should be able to knock a good bit off that.

It says that's 255th in the world, I remember when this came out and I played it constantly I did have a few number one spots for speed laps on career I think.

Come one people get some times posted. When I seen this I was hoping for loads of people taking part as it's always good fun. The PGR4 challenges had good numbers although I didn't do many of them to be honest so was hoping for similar amounts of people here. :(

Why don't you like Sebenco? It's such a challenging circuit, I love it. So many blind turns that you really have to memorise exactly when, where and how much to turn.

Rathboneski - Goteki 45 - Sebenco Climb (Forwards) - Venom - 30.17

my best is 29.60 on this track, but for the purposes of this week, my time is 30.17 (6 barrel rolls but a little sloppy on the handling)

:)

edit - actually just got a 28.85 with icarus (fury) on same speed class / track which puts me at 8th globally when it updates (7 barrel rolls now) :(

BR = barrel roll

ok, instead of boosting over the line, boost just as you hit the last straight (theres the tiniest of humps here to get air off if you nose-pitch up). you will go across the start line in mid-air so when you land at the first sharp left-hander the boost u get from BR'ing will give you a nice head start, as long as you land facing the correct way.

after that first bend, BR over the little hump, but nose pitch down so you aren't in the air for too long (thats 2/7). take all the chicanes hitting all speedpads until you get to the top. at the top, just before u go down the long straight, boost off the top, BR and nose-pitch accordingly so that u stay in the air until u at least get under the roof, when you land, hug the right hand side of the track as there is a bit u can get the 4th BR on just before you bear right and come

up, back out of the tunnel.

As u come up out of the tunnel, u must hit the speedpad on the left side in order to get the next 2 BR's as u come up out into the open. the 2nd BR of these 2 is only achievable by nose pitching up as soon as u have nailed the 1st one. The 7th and final BR is as u drop off the ledge before the harsh right hand corner to the finish.

there are some videos on youtube to help you along if so required, but ultimately its down to practise. i advise using analog stick over d-pad as i find nose pitching and controlling the BR's much easier this way, although i have ruined 2 controllers due to BR abuse lol.

this video shows u where i get my 1st BR by boosting early over the line (and also the tough 4th one at the bottom of the long straight before u come back up and out ofthe tunnel). this is not my video by the way, this is pirhapac.

hope this helps :lol:
