Well that's it. Rest assured, Alec. Victory is yours, as I'm not going to be able to give it another shot in the final 4 hours. No excuses. I had plenty of time over the 3 days. You deserved this one. Well played. I'm happy to have given you a good fight.

Well, that being said, I guess we can declare the victor! Congratulations Alec! Of course the top 3 players are all fantastic drivers! Great job guys! This is definitely the closest competition on Dreamcast Live yet!

Here are the final rankings:

1. Alec1382 - 00' 44" 015 (TBW)

If we were face to face, I'd shake your hand. Well played to you too. You were more than formidable. I had a lot of fun. That last run was actually all I had time for as well. Afterwards, I had to go to sleep, and now I have to go to school. I was hoping it would stand.

I have a replay saved, actually. I'll post that when I get the chance.

Sega Rally 2, eh? I'm sure you will be, but it'll have to be Rjay's blood! Despite my best efforts, I lost to him by a couple tenths of a second.

Late as all hell, I know, but I figure Chris might still be interested.

I got the best time when I figured out that the best technique for this track was to go with hard tires. It surprised me, but with the hard tires I could zip around corners much more quickly, and since it's such a grippy car to begin with, I wouldn't lose traction. If I wanted to drift, I would use the brakes+gas method rather than the downshift method.

[ChrisHa2049]

Nice. Interesting tidbit using hard tires too. I never considered that. Not just using the hard tires, but the brake+gas method as well. Even if I did try hards, I'd have kept trying the downshift method and likely given up quickly anyway.

Good tip as I'm finally getting fully into this racer.
Thanks for posting the replay!

The embedded video isn't working Alec. Remove the "&feature=plcp" from the URL and it should work.

Yeah, I couldn't find a working link so I just left it as is. I've changed it now, as per your advice. Thanks!
