To celebrate breaking into the 1:08's for the 1st time I just did
something really silly... something I *really* regret.
Lap time 3:48.71... in reverse. Come on fellas. That was only my second
lap. I reckon a sub 2:30's easily possible if you're mad enough.
The thing I hate is that I want to have another go... it's sort of...
well, satisfying. Oh, and be careful at the end of the 1st straight. As
your car drops into the dip at some speed it's rather disconcerting...
very rollercoastseresque (if such a word existed).

PS For the Love of God, Papyrus... release another track or something
before this gets totally out of hand! ;-)
PPS Anyone think using the clutch is of any benefit? I've tried to add the
clutch to my repertoire and -- when I get the timing right it makes for
some very sweet gear changes. Haven't really got the hang of it yet
though, and I'm wondering if anyone thinks it's worth the effort. My guess
is it must be otherwise Papyrus wouldn't have wasted time programming it.

Yes.....for starts.
If you can hold the car on the brake, have first gear engaged and the
clutch 'in', then wind the revs on before releasing the clutch, the
starts are MUCH faster than without the clutch.
Mind you, controlling the wheel-spin is another matter! :-)
