lol it's Bungie's design that racers are obstacles rather than opponents, although some will crash into you on purpose. You are not going to get the smooth mechanics of a driving game in a FPS, and yes, I know Halo has driving elements to them.

lol I was pretty close to getting Platinum ELO last I looked and that was with bodging up the Mars jump too many times. God damn it, why can I not be platinum/gold ELO anywhere else....

I would miss it if there were more than 2 maps.
And if going from 2 to 3 wasn't such a grind. When I heard how much I needed to go from 2 to 3, I pulled the plug.

thebb22 and hebbnh I have no idea what kind of voodoo you guys use, but those are some good times you regularly post in S.R.L. I admit that I suck at racing games, but I was stoked if I finished anywhere near 4:20 or so (heh). I have no idea how you were posting times below 4:10. That is impressive. I can't figure out how to shave 10-20 seconds off my times. You're my heroes. In S.R.L anyway.

It's all about using side boosts at the right time to corner more efficiently, and hitting as many gates as you can while running a clean line. The really fast guys actually use the overboost function on the raid sparrows to up their speed through straight stretches. The margin of error is pretty thin on those though -- since they can't do tricks to restore their side boosts, they have to consistently run near-perfect lines and hit almost every gate otherwise they're terrible through corners.

Litterally did 4 races. Problem for me was that:
1. I didn't/couldn't get right into it from the start. And I feel at least 50% of the skills required to win races is map knowledge. 2. It got boring pretty fast, even after 4 races. I would have liked those helmets, but a 10 hours (??) grind is not worth it for me to get from 316 to 317/318. 3. It is fun to do with friends but in contradiction with other stuff in destiny, it is actually counterproductive to do this with friends. As only one guy can win (and get most of the rep)
I does have promise though. Give us 8 maps or so and some power ups (and internet through the week for me personally) and I will "grind" this out next time.
p.s. That antwon dude is not only bad at SRL, he is bad at everything...
