So I've been winning every race I try lately, so decided to give myself a challenge. Win a race... With the common, white sparrow. It turned out to be more complicated than I thought. Wish I had capture software, but I'm on PS3 and usually don't play too much. Final time, 4:32 on Venus. No side boosts. No brakes. But what you might not know, is a harsh punish for missing a gate. One missed gate drops top speed down to 98, meaning it was suddenly worth the effort to hit every one. Bungie said the speeds were capped, which is true, but it seems reduced speed for missing a gate isn't. Maybe this happens between legendaries too? The strangest thing though, was that I would randomly explode. This happened 5 times over 5 races. Maybe the big fall on Venus can normally be fatal, but usually it takes a little smidge from my shield, blew me up twice. Another time it looked like I was shot by a drop ship and exploded. And shoved by 2nd place into a pillar on the last lap when I was about to win, kablooey. Still though, I learned feathering can be pretty powerful and a replacement for brakes, and got me a win. And because the game knew it was such a challenge, they gave me a shader. Very kind.
