yea... good point. but it should be more of Tire pressure due to heating. i see it quite often in the anime and manga when rewatching/reading it recently. perhaps it may be a combination of both | ||

hmmm, makes sense. now that u mentioned it, there was this one time, i was doing a TA on akina DH, and i messed up at LHOD and the right curve with gutter right after it, before cp3. as soon as i hit cp3 and saw my cp2 time, i completely stopped, stepped out first, and took a breather. didn't force quit yet, don't know why. afterwards, decided to continue it anyway. but feeling down, i didn't push it at all, all the way to the finish line. looking at the results, saw that i got a 47low on cp4, without even pushing it at all. btw, was using a supra that wasn't eve fully tuned yet at that time. | ||

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 32,343 Joined: Mar 25th 2009 Location: Parkway area, SG | guys, i have confirmed it today. i ran akina as usual once, and i got 51s for CP4. then in my next run, i stopped in CP3 for a few seconds, and i got 46s for CP4. also, i stopped a few metres before the end of CP3, so when i entered cp4, i was more or less just starting up. i was at a slower speed than if i didnt stop. still, i got a faster time...meaning... accel really can be regained. hope this helps everyone in understanding the "boost effect" aka tire pressure/heating. i remember that "tire temperature" feature in Forza Motorsport...who could've guessed that the evasive boost was just like that...

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 32,343 Joined: Mar 25th 2009 Location: Parkway area, SG | xyeohts, ur probably going a little too fast in CP2. try cornering slower and leaving more accel for later? boost is weird indeed... once in iro i braked to 45 at half-car distance before the very first hairpin, went at that snail's pace around the corner without gas, exited at 38 km/h, and saw red -1s for the next 3 CPs ! |

The Dozuki Master Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,688 Member No.: 20,372 Joined: Sep 21st 2006 Location: Makati City, Metro Manila, Philippines | i remember one run earlier @ akagi uhd when i played earlier today... i was like +2.5xx after cp1, and then the deficit went down to 2.1... suddenly after cp3, i saw something red on the margin display, it was -0.9xx, i was really shocked... and even more shocked at the finish when i beat my overall time by 1.8 seconds (2'59"777 -> 2'58"0xx)... probably because i didn't really push it in cp1 and decided to take the v-turn really nice and slow, like at around 65 kph, and i felt i was breezing through the first half of cp3... |

hahahaha *bow* @topic totally agree with jj. managing boost by cp's(cp1 normal cp2 slow cp3 fast, etc etc) is pretty useless. especially in more complex maps, such as nagao or happo. This post has been edited by chin571 on Jun 11 2009, 09:20 AM | ||

Personally I could feel boost kicking in alot stronger than if I was doing 4x...But I ended up with a time of 3'29. Possible explanations? |

i think the 3'05 iro dh vid slows dwn all the way to 36-39. haven't really done any serious TA's in iro. last i tried iro was only one run. used that tech, slow down all the way to 36-39, still got a 3'11. wasn't able to break my record though | ||

Shmuck Group: Members Posts: 1 Member No.: 33,194 Joined: Jun 11th 2009 Location: Update Profile | so the Boost always come after a slow CP and the boost is always off after a fast CP pls enlighten me Btw...does that only imply to akina or to all courses? Are we suppose to use the gutters for better time?(Akina,Tsukuba,Nagao) Is there any specific method on how to tackle the corners with gutters? Pls Tell me if u know |

Reading is magic! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 2,601 Member No.: 30,700 Joined: Sep 24th 2008 Location: Philippines | Slow down a little bit more if you're having trouble snagging it with your front tire. Keep your wheel steady, and dont panic once you hear a sound. The wall/Gutter sounds are far too similar if you havent grown to be able to differentiate them. Tsukuba and Nagao are special cases; Tsukuba requires you to be above a certain speed or you will lose speed drastically in one. Nagao will eat you alive if you dont glide over ( I repeat OVER ) the gutter just right. I'm not capable of giving a vivid explanation on this, but you're more vulnerable on the uphill rather than the downhill. That being said, keep your speed up so your weight doesnt shift to your front. World record holders use what gutters are there; so there's no reason why you shouldnt. |

IDW Member Group: Members Posts: 24 Member No.: 32,343 Joined: Mar 25th 2009 Location: Parkway area, SG | digibunny: once i slowed to 35 on the very first hairpin by accident. i got -2s for the first checkpoint. i drove normally for the rest of the course and each cp was approx. same timing as usual. the total time difference was only -2s, meaning only my cp1 was faster. the rest was almost equal timing. oh, and can someone please confirm. in a battle, ALL boost disappears the moment you touch something? be it wall or opponent car?
