Firstly the question about ideal racing setup. What do you think is the best racing setup to get the lowest times for your laps? I did my first timetrial with +1 handling -1 Drift and balanced speed/acceleration on track 1 (Mod Circuit). I ended up about 5.5 seconds slower than the world's best time. Then I changed to +2 speed -2 acceleration and +1 drift -1 handling, and shaved almost 2 seconds off my time. Still ~3.4 seconds behind the world's best, but pretty good for me. What I can't figure out though is watching the ghost of the world's best how is it that they are going so much faster than me right from the start of the lap (running start so acceleration doesn't matter)? About 1 second ahead of me before we exit the first turn, and I'm pretty much following and drifting the ghost's racing line at least until the exit of turn 1.
So, what timetrials have you done and how do you compare to the worlds best time?
I've done 2 circuits:
Mod Circuit - my time 21.090, global best 17.776
Village Run - my time 32.983 (pathetic), global best 24.985
