Advice? o.o (Zig Zag)

[Stereo]

I know I fucked up the turn on the 2nd lap :P (I can't drive 100% perfect with fraps filming and it's about 2.3GB of raw video every attempt so I just went with it)
Even without that I can only managed about 3:12-3:13 solo & I'm seeing people doing 5-10 seconds faster...

Where? All in the 180's?


[edit] Oops, cropped the finish time out. 3:15.93

I was running about 3:12-3:13 a few days ago there.

Then i watched RKAddicts video and now I'm down to 3:06. The video is posted in the "Problem with Zig Zag" topic in Zoomtown. I found it very helpful.

I'm trying to get down to 3:05 using his method before i go on to practice the advance drifts.

When you use your n2o to go uphill, try to use it late enough so it lasts most of the uphill part. You'll get slightly better times that way, and it can also be used to pass people who n2o too early. This isn't necessarily just for that one uphill, it can be applied elsewhere as well. (this doesn't hold true for every uphill though, but that specific one would be done faster with this method)

More importantly, learn optimized drift:

Either way, you're a pro in the making, Stereo. I'm so crap at drifting. Watching all these vids is making me sad...D:

I remember racing against you and you beat me by 3 seconds. xP

Serious pro skills, stereo.

Not bad for starting not long ago.

u need to learn Perfect Drift, and use it in every corners, except U turn

Same thing as optimization...

[Stereo]

I'm having trouble telling the difference with the optimized drift to the regular one, are they using the up arrow more or just taking a shallower drift through the corner?

[iamj]

optimized is when your tire tracks don't cross or touch... during the actual drift your tracks should not touch...

Basicly, its a drift thats not as sharp of a turn as a normal drift. you keep more speed, and i think gain more boost...
