Challenge Blitz #2 - Pac-Attack Diamond?

This one came about a while ago, when the Gnosis Special Events were started. One of the first three was to No NOS TA Gold, which prompted tvrman to also do Platinum and Diamond without NOS... so I decided to go one step further, and No NOS Diamond with Pac-Man.

Now, this isn't exactly an easy task... you pretty much have to take almost every corner on the inside, which means crossing sides on very short straights in a car that wants to drift with the merest touch. It also means that you cannot afford to hit the wall more than once, and even then that may slow you down too much - I got lucky at the end of lap 1, as it barely slowed me, and didn't send me out wide. Brilliantly, this attempt actually beat my old time for this; as you can probably tell, the laggy controls I've been having in SD have been solved. :)

BGM is Higher Ground by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Oh, and feel free to attempt this one yourselves - you may want to practice in Global Time Attack first, so you can finish the third lap and see how far you've got to go.

how did u rocket start?

It's somewhat open to debate as to the best way. I go by the lights on the speedo - if you have 2-3 of the small ones lit, and the large ones aren't lit, you'll get a great start. If the large ones light up, you've revved too much.

Another method I've heard of is hitting max revs until the '2' starts to fade onto the screen, then releasing the accelerator. I couldn't get the hang of the timing, but it seems to work well enough for others.

wow, that is amazing blitz.

almost perfect, I would say the absolute limit is about 3:10

oh, its jammy:) in case you were wondering

I'd have to agree with that - I could've been maybe 0.2s faster on the first lap if I hadn't clipped the wall, and I was by no means taking the absolute perfect line. :)
