This course has been giving me hell the past few days, with countless 1'01"03s and 1'01"01s, crashes, touching sand etc..
But finally i did it! Not a new WR, but like i said, id be happy settling for this, cos this was what i really wanted on tape since 29th August 2000 when i first hit this time. On to tonights result (or this morning rather):
2:25 am, Friday 30th July 2004:
Mario Circuit 1 Non-NBT:
Splits: 12"45 - 12"14 - 12"16 - 12"14 - 12"10!
Time: 1'00"99!

Nice way to finish the race with a 12"10 lap aswell!
Anyway, this time is on tape, il keep it stored safely till early September-ish when i send the tape off. This is just incase i play other courses and tape any PRs or other good times or whatever. Then at least there is more to see.
The video quality of this taping isnt 100% perfect, the screen slightly shakes about in the middle, but it doesnt disturb seeing the time and technique at all. But when it is made into a video file it will be slightly lesser quality, so i am hoping i can send this tape to someone who can make it into a larger filesize. This would mean longer download time, but better to see the technicality of a 1'00"99 on a bigger video file screen on the pc than a smaller one like my old 1'01"25 video file.
Let me know what you think, and if any of you PAL players are able to do this when i send the tape to one of you in September. Cheers.
Ok, im off to sleep i guess... 3am here.
