Lap times are only recorded via ranked matches, compounding this is the developers lack of understanding of what players are willing to do in cheating, cutting
corners results in no penalty and this immediately destroys the long term drive for real racing fans to compete.
Off of a
corner that
resulted from a fine save from Lonergan, Gaetano Berardi played villian
in the 88th minute, giving up a
penalty that Chris Wood promptly slotted home for Burnley.
Slalom effectively replaces the hot lap events from Riptide GP2
in which you are the only rider on circuit attempting to set a fastest time as the A.I. have already set their respective lap times with the added stipulation of having to navigate blue and orange gates that indicate which side of the gate you have to steer your hydro jet towards, although if you miss the corresponding side of the gate a time
penalty will be incurred
resulting in a risk and reward factor
in which pushing your pace as much as possible, especially through the
corners may actually cost you time if not absolutely precise
in your approach to each gate.
