Well...I've been stuck in the 2'30' in IB and 2'31' in OB
For months...I believe I can at least do 1 second faster now...
Just that everytime I try to break my own TA's I managed to crash...>_>
I wish I run like I do when in battles...*sigh*

hahaha, I guess we have different styles of playing then

Bart has been the king of Hakone OB since MT2 days though ~

there's no 27 videos on ytube for IB. someone post it on here if they have one. it'd be much appreciated esp if its 3rd person.

there is 4 i think
i filmed and edited this one back in december...it was the australian record for a while but its in first person .. 2'27'7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QNCb5u-Cq0

Hell yeah
nce to see ppl's reaction when you ram them at hakone,
leaving them 30-50m

BTW, I use R-34
Good rammer somehow

Playing Ramming on Hakone is like a double-edged sword.

Sometimes when you hit your opponent right on the spot, it leaves them far behind.

But in a few corners, when you took a wrong line for ramming, it would end up leaving yourself far behind. (own experience : just yesterday =_=")

IMO, try to play as clean as possible, concentrate on your lines if you're playing in Hakone.

But if you can't resist seeing your opponent on a "ready to ram" position, just ram them, but look for the right spots.

Hey guys

Whats a decent non-pro Hakone time for both inbound and out bound...

I cant remember my time, i think it was in the '40's but that was before my 820 stats...

would a '35 be good?

@fknazn

'35s for a non-pro is quite good.
First time I do my TAs on Hakone it was '47 for Inbound. So crappy =_="

Just practice on your lines and your countersteering, try not to crash any walls, you'll be able to get around '31 or '32s if you only crash once or twice.

I just can't reach the times below 30. My best time in Hakone is only 2'30"955 using an RX-8.

Should be better when I finish my FD project.. ^o^

I found it rather amusing when I get better times using the R34 than the R32...
The R34 was going like a pinball around the course and still manage to secure a 2'36"3xx and the R32 only manage to do a mere 2'37'6.. =.=

on Outbound or Inbound?

I've never TA'd Outbound.. so, yeah =_="

You might wanna try once more with your R32. I found that R32s are better to drive in Hakone compared to R34s. (even though i'm using the R34 myself)

I never play Inbound...
and my R32 understeers like mad in Hakone... =.=

r32 isnt too bad on inbound at 740
i havnt really sat down and played it in r32 tho...only 1 random go after a battle one day
outbound im havnt played before...i need to learn outbound i might do it tomorrow xD

R32s are good cars to play in Hakone.

R32's handling is simillar to EVOLUTION 8, but R32s got longer nose. so, yeah..

I dunno what am I doing..

TRIED AN MR2 BUT... 2'33"xxx? 2'34"xxx? MY GOD...

How could my R34 do better than an MR2? =_=" or it's just me that's not really familiar with the MR2?

MR2 handles differently than all the other cars...it has like...erm...twitchy handling because the engine is in the back

@xeoreg

Wew.. Twtichy.. =_=" i think that's why my TA times looks more CRAPPY than before..

Actually, what car is better for Hakone? Is it FD / FC / MR2 ?

i think it's FD, but i prefer MR2 handling on hakone... FD is just slides too much

MR2. tried a FD, i reckon the acceleration of it isn't as fitting for hakone as the mr2. but hey, it's just my two cents.

I prefer the RX8. To me, it has more potential than the FD and the MR2

but 6 gears???

what's the lowest gear you'd go in a 6 gear on hakone?
i feel terrible dropping it to third sometimes.

i stay in 4th and 5th gear in my silvia

Just to clarify, on a 5 gear car, you normally would never go to 5th gear cause you never reach it right? I'm just wondering if my shift points are correct cause I normally never touch 5th gear.

- RemieGino14 -

not really, while it's true that most of time you will only use 4th gear, there are few straights on hakone where you can reach and use 5th gear speed on 5 gear car.

RX-8 seems good, but i think it lacks the acceleration. Top speed is good, but the accel..? =_="

MR2 lor o_O my God.. How come I can't play with MR2 =_=" should learn how to play MR2 then

Actually, in some of the straightways you can use the top-gear (6th / 5th) on the straights near the CP3 checkpoint..

This is true, after the snake hairpins on Inbound theres a spot to hit 5th/6th for about 5 or 6 second XD. Same place on Outbound, but on the opposite side =P.
