Finally got a 3'17 and it's good that I got this screenshot because it's not saved it..
EDIT: Yeah, so I thought I was going to have to start a new save file again and I did (which is quite annoying), but long story short, the file's not corrupted, it just won't save anything new through LaunchBox for some reason. If I use the original launcher, it's ok. It's doubtful anyone will have the same problem, but just in case, don't use it for this game.
I had to work to get another 3'17 back on the board. The 3'18"13 was from the same session as the shot above so that's why it's also gone.

Some impressive times here for sure, trying to copy some of your lines and I'm slowly getting my own times down, have now got a couple of 3.23s.
There are definitely two areas I can improve on, the final corner on the desert stage, where I either go wide exiting the corner or lose too much speed if I try and keep tight.
I also have trouble getting cleanly past the red and green car on the forest stage, they seem to bunch together after the hairpin. think I'm losing a second there.

Really good times there. I've plateaued in the 3.23s for now but know I can improve with more consistency.

I'd have to look at my scoreboard in the game room for time. My Sega Rally is poorly, need to look at the loom, so haven't played for ages
You can get faster times by using the collision detection mechanics, but I prefer to drive by controlling the car properly

Great laps! You go wider on the approach to the corners before the tunnel in forest than I do - I'll try that to see if it helps me shave a bit more off. Still haven't beaten 3.23,17
Also, are you playing on hard mode, because you seem to have a lot less time than I do playing on normal?

Yeah I'm not a massive fan of that either, plus my upright has a sequential shifter so its hard to be in forth, bounce and get back down to 2nd to take off again quickly enough.

Cheers matey, I have tried approaching those forest corners in a number of ways, occasionally by going wide and cutting in onto the grass and wide again I can do it fast enough to overtake the blue/red/white car on the corner, but I cant do it consistently.
Yeah I have it set to hardest, If I mess up a lap and want to start again I was getting bored of waiting for the countdown to finish, it doesn't seem to effect anything other than the time.
Have been getting poor times recently, then discovered the micro switch in the gear stick was sensing double presses when changing up so I was skipping gears, turns out it had just come unscrewed slightly. All fixed now and managed to get a time I'm pretty happy with 3.21.32
Still losing time on the last two corners of the forest stage and I'm sure there is time to be made up on the long desert corner.
Have also been experimenting with different lines on the corners on the Forest stage before the tunnel, I'm now convinced going wide on the approach is the quickest line.
Lots of arm flailing in this one....

Great time, still need to fix my machine

Getting freezes, it's a power issue but I haven't had time to re-do the loom, need to do a more complete rebuild of the power supply I think
Yeah I thought I had it sorted, but maybe not
