Rickster8 Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 My first Auto Racing Entry: I'm locking in the Green Car for Track 5. Just 5 seconds away from tying the HSC record.

Rickster8 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 (edited) Sooooooo not much Auto Racing action so far. I know gar0u and Matt cannot stand Auto Racing and I think Fakecortex doesn't like it either, but where's the rest of y'all? ?♂️ So bcuz I chose the green car on Track 5, now I'm forced to choose the super slow white car on one of the other tracks, 1, 2, 3 or 4.... Right now I think I'm leaning with this rundown Track 1 - Blue Car Track 2 - Tan Car Track 3 - Super Slow White Car (I will just have to eat this race)... Maybe I'll just blow off this race number 3 altogether.... HA!!!!! ? Track 4 - Red Car Track 5 - Green Car I could also flip tracks 1 and 3, simply because Biffman's 3:01 on Track 1 is unbeatable..... ?

Rickster8 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 NEW HSC RECORD TRACK 4!!! ? I should be able to get this under 9 minutes over the next 3 weeks.... ? Track 4 - Red Car - 9:07 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickster8 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 (edited) Here's the rest of the lot... I chose to stick the slow ass White Car on Track 1 cuz Biffman's 3:01 record is unbeatable and I had to put the White Car somewhere after opting against using it for Track 5... I'm going with the Amarilla Killa (Tan Car) for Track 2 and I'm experimenting with the Blue Car on Track 3. The Blue Car is much too fast for this Track so gotta use alot of brakes on it.. GOALS: Track 1, uhhmmmm none because the White Car sucks so no goals there. Track 2 - I'd like to get under 6 minutes. Track 3 - I'd love to get under 8 minutes but with all the braking, I think it's possible, but not probable.... Track 1 - White Car - 4:17 Track 2 - Tan Car - 6:31 Track 3 - Blue Car - 8:35 Edited November 11, 2021 by Rickster8 Wording 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gezkc Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Choosing a different car for each course is a good idea and makes it interesting - I think I'd probably have chosen the same car for virtually every course if I was able to! I'll try to post some times soon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Non-gaming aspects of my life have been super busy lately (in a good way), so I’m a bit behind in my clubs. But yeah, this one and me, not so good. I’ll blame it on the controller, hah. If I end up ever picking up the cart, I’ll give it another go. I do like the challenge tho!

gezkc Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 (edited) I've managed to get a few races on each of the courses now. Strangely enough, I've chosen different cars than Rick for every course apart from Course 2! Here are my best times so far. I'm still getting to grips with the blue and tan cars - I normally avoid them like the plague! Course 1 (Blue Car): 3:06 Course 2 (Tan Car): 5:39* Course 3 (Red Car): 6:55 Course 4 (Green Car): 8:40 Course 5 (White Car): 3:36* *updated as at 26th November Edited November 26, 2021 by gezkc Updated times 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did you get 8:40 with the green car? That car is pretty slow. Also the 3rd course time that's a WORLD RECORD!!! That even beats Al on Twin Galaxies.... He got 6:58... WOW!!!! I am guessing you played this in emulation right? Lol, and if you are just getting used to the blue and the tan cars with those times WATCH OUT!!!! ?

Lol, and if you are just getting used to the blue and the tan with those time WATCH OUT!!!! ? Thanks Rick. No, I played these on original equipment. I can't believe my 3rd course time is a world record - it wasn't a perfect run by any means, though I managed not to crash! Although the green car's not fast, I think it suits course 4 pretty well as it's quite twisty. I'd probably have gone with the red car if I hadn't used it on course 3 though. I never normally use the blue and tan cars as they take a lot of effort to drive (I don't play Auto Racing much so just stick with red or green when I do as they're the easiest to pick up and play), but I can see that with practice they are very quick cars to drive. I managed to get my course 2 time despite crashing twice, so I think that could come down by quite a bit! Your course 5 time is very impressive! I stuck with the white car for that course as it's very technical, but you've probably chosen the best car for that course and your time reflects that - very nice driving!
