seriously this ice race is really annoying how is any one suppose to win it I've tryed 5 times and couldn't even win:mad: so I'm just gonna forget about this stupid race and just get the lobi from the lockbox and unlock the ship:mad:
if you have high enough delta rep try the triait for 5% running speed, and you can "cheat" a little, I find those markers are really more of a guidline. you can't cut clean across but you can cut corners to a certain degree

Let me guess. Another person who can't figure out that you're supposed to slow down before going around the corners? :rolleyes:

Basically you have to take your slide into account and finesse things. its like F1 really, you have to figure out when to power into a turn and when to break. I swear I had days where my motor control was horrible and I would have to do it over and over because I would run up a bank off the course. Also you will figure out from trial and error what you can skirt over and whats too high and triggers a disqual
Also if you mean the race against other players, that doesnt get you the ship anyways, only epohhs
You've got to be doing something wrong; I've just raced it on my four characters and failed once (only cause I was a Spider and ran into a post at the end). It's not difficult at all, it's just learning how to run the track, and not to rush into it.

I tried it the first time since i play STO (since it became f2p) and i won the first time.
I was waiting for this years "WAAAA I have no clue what I'm doing, please nerf!!!" thread. I was not disappointed.
I got through my race on my first try, even after a year I still have mad racing skill yo!
But I mean come on, stop moving, drift into the next position and move. If you are going to go off track double tap in the right direction to roll and stop your slide. It's not hard...
Its uninspired TRIBBLE for 5 year old konsole players. No Humor.. no fun.. nothin.
AND:. since it startet the Game is unplayable.. i dont know if it is the same in USA.. but in Germany you can forgett to play it.
30 people i know.. and 29 of em cant play at all cause of laggs.
So thanks cryptic for trying to host a game on less then minimum hardware clusters.
Since DR everything went worse and worse.... think its time to leave the game again and
im glad i never was so stupid to buy a livetime sup.
You want money.. give us servers that work. The game itself is fun now.. lot of possibilitys... lot of different things to do. But its unplayable. Complete.... nonsense.

Practice and use rolls to stop sliding.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
There is a youtube video or 3 that will show you what to do, here are the basics:
Walk around the corners, use the snow (not the ice) parts to slow yourself
You can roll forward to stop from sliding
Only run on the long straight sections, then roll forward and walk around the corners
and here is the biggest thing:
The last 2 years you didn't even really have to run AT ALL to beat the NPC
(and this is the most important one) DON'T race... Run, don't sprint.
Strafe alot
Run backwards when you need to slow down
Jump-a-lot if you need to... I don't like it, but it makes it easy as heck.
Roll... Don't try to run into the tight corners... Doubble-tap W, roll, wait a sec, change course and them move on.
It's not about how many seconds you are ahead... 1 second, or 1 minute... as long as you pass the finishline first, you win... The rewards are all the same.
Don't look silly... Don't call it the "Z-Store/Zen Store"...
after another attemtp for the 7th time I thought I'd ask Q tot turn me into some thing and got turned into a dividian and was able to win the race finally but still annoying

I don't think those things are connected ... but if it works for you ... :P
... just run & roll in the corners ... it ain't rocket science ...

I'm starting to get the hang of it now after a few wins with my alts just by using sprint and dodge roll and I don't think jumping has helped me much:o
You can either pan the camera around when you get near a corner to anticipate & judge the turns correctly, or just dodge roll on teh corners to control yourself better. I found it tought to begin with, but using these two simple steps, its not too bad.
Interesting. Just did it for the first time a few minutes ago. Never jumped or rolled or tried running backwards; just slowed going into the corners and sprinted coming out of them (much like I would play any racing game).
Won it easy. Never even saw whoever or whatever I was supposed to be racing against.

I believe your method is the one Cryptic prefers.

Did it like explained here and it worked nicely

I used this video as a guide and won the race with ease.
I had to do it 1 or 2 times to get used to it, but once I got it down it wasn't hard at all.
Give that video a watch and try it, it works.

Actually, I think I remember turning into the flying mobs gives you no traction on the groung which also means no slipping.
