I'm confused as to how the top 2 times have gained that extra 0.3, so if someone can give me some pointers I would be very grateful.  Cheesy

I get a blue boost about on the start line, boost just while going roudn the first corner, then again as soon as possible to hit the first jumper, and then again almost as soon as I land to hit the 2nd jumper. I then land on the thin bridge and sort of hop and slide around to the finish line.

That time I have at the moment is about as good as I can do and I am a little confused as to how I can go faster. Is there something I am missing?

Thanks  Wink

not sure what your time is mark but i was thinkign about this too..

I'm not doing this lap two with the boost, so theres a start, but then what i would do is after the first turn - shroom.. then as its wearing off you should be approaching the corner, i shroom just as i'm about to turn into the corner, i hop over the yellow bumper and then as i'm going around the next corner i shroom again (just before the corners) and then land on the strip and hop as tight as possible..

If I remember my 7"30, I started the lap with a blue boost, used the 1st shroom just after 1st corner, then the 2nd shroom the earliest possible, but with aim to hit yellow bump with always the fastest speed ! And  same way for the last shroom. Wink

I don't suppose there is a video anywhere?  Cheesy

I have just gotten 7"62 (My PR) 3 times.  Angry

In other news, my best 1-lap no shroom is 10"84 - (this is without deliberately going the long way to get the boost at the beginning of a lap)

edit : Just got 7"61 now  Roll Eyes Great improvement there!
edit : 7"57!
