Your best times: Mars (4:41.531) Venus (4:32.511) (Destiny)

I've improved a little bit. I felt like I was rocking it last night with lots of 2nd place finished & some 1st place finishes. I finally got 2 racing sparrows, and in some ways they seem much faster, yet the handling seems worse, but I felt I was able to stay in 1st place longer with them. I'm finally figuring out how to use boost to improve my cornering.

Things I've learned:
1- when to use a sideways boost to help your cornering.
2- staying on the ground helps you go faster, floating in the air slows you down (much like downhill ski racing).
3- the shortcuts work really well for me.

Anyway, how the heck do you guys get such good times?
